Anyway, what are Chiton, Peplos, Himation, and Chlamys? They are the main clothes fabrics that were used for ancient Greece dresses and clothing. Clothes were usually clamped with ornamental pins and belts tied around the waist to secure the fabrics.
For the inner part of the clothing, Greek used Chiton or Peplos. Peplos was mostly used by women for their dresses because they were mostly heavier compared to Chiton that was used mostly for men’s clothing. Men’s chitons hung to the knees, whereas women’s chitons fell to their ankles.
Example of Chiton
Chlamys is a seamless woolen fabric worn by men as a cloak. It was as big as a blanket, sometimes worn by the soldiers in that era as the shield during the war.
