Fashion in Ancient Greece




  • The clothes that were worn in Ancient Greece were called "Togas". Togas were baggy; the ones used by men were larger that the women's.






Greeks didn't use shoes when they were at home, but they used sandals when they went out.










  • Jewelry was extremely important and popular in Ancient Greece. Women used earrings, bracelets, hairpins, rings and necklaces.






  • Men used perfume; they created their perfumes by boiling flowers and herbs.






  • Back then women had to have long hair because the slaves were the ones with short hair. Ponytails were very popular.






  • Also, makeup was very important; women connected their eyebrows with dark powder, they applied red powder to their cheecks and "white lead" to their faces.




  • The first hat was created in Ancient Greece; it was only used when traveling and it was called "Petasos"
