What are Egypts cloths?

Answer 1

Men of all social classes wore a wraparound skirt called a kilt which was tied at the waist using a belt. The length of the kilt varied depending on the fashion of the time and how rich you were. In the Old Kingdom they were short while in the Middle Kingdom they were calf length. For ordinary men the kilt remained short and plain. From the New Kingdom (c.1500BC) it was fashionable for wealthy men to have the garment pleated. Egyptian women wore full length tubular dresses with shoulder straps. This remained the basic type of garment worn by ordinary women for thousands of years. Like the men the clothing of wealthy women became more elaborate during the New Kingdom. It became fashionable for rich women have their dresses pleated or draped. Rich Egyptian men and women decorated their clothes, wore jewellery and elaborate wigs. Ancient Egyptian children did not wear clothes until they were about six years old when they would wear the same clothes as men and women. Slaves working in the households of the wealthy wore the clothes of ordinary Egyptians. Slaves working on the land, building the monuments or working in the quarries went naked.
