In all the ancient world, first the clothes have to be simple. The style of Roman clothing was influenced by the style of ancient Greece clothing, but it had forms of its own. Most of the roman wore the clothing made of silk cotton and wool although to some extent linen was also available.
Roman women wore a simple garment known as a stola and usually followed the fashions of their Greek contemporaries. If could have long or short sleeves, or be entirely sleeveless. The stola was normally worn over another long tunic. Silk clothing was available to rich people, but was used for female vestments
For men, Roman man normally wore a chitin ( a type of tunic which came down all the way down to the knees). A cloak was usually worn over the chitin. Cold weather would likely see Romans wear two or three tunics to keep them warm. The toga was allowed to be worn only by free Roman citizens. Foreigners, or even exiled citizens, could not appear in public wearing a toga. There was some formal differences in tunics which denoted social rank as well.
Children clothing, children especially those not borned to rich families spent their time in simple, belted tunics. Children wore an amulet called the bulla. Boys would wear it until reaching their teenager, usually around the age of sixteen. Girls would wear it until they married. Roman girls normally wore nothing more than a tunic hanging below the knees, belted at the waist and simple decorated, mostly in white. When a girl went out she sometimes wore another tunic, longer than the first, sometimes to the angles or even the feet.
In conclusion, Roman clothing was influenced by the ancient greece. Roman clothing reflected the culture in the Roman Power period. We learned that roman values their attitude towards social by designed the style of clothing in different class. The Roman adopt their culture by studied the import beard and toga styles from greek and turned in to their own styles.
