User:Dinnerghost/Clothing in ancient Greece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ancient Greek clothing refers to clothing starting from the Aegean bronze age (3000 BCE) to the Hellenistic period (31 BCE).[1] Clothing in ancient Greece included a wide variety of styles but primarily consisted of the chiton, peplos, himation, and the chlamys.[2] The people of ancient Greece had many factors (political, economic, social, and cultural) that determined what they wore and when they wore it.[2] Customarily, clothing was homemade and cut to various lengths of rectangular linen or wool fabric with minimal cutting or sewing, and secured with ornamental clasps or pins, and a belt, or girdle (ζώνη: zōnē).[3] Pieces were generally interchangeable between men and women.[1][4] However, women usually wore their robes to their ankles while men generally wore theirs to their knees depending on the occasion and circumstance.[3] Additionally, clothing often served many purposes than just being used as clothes such as bedding or a shroud.[5]

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.
