Many styles and fashions today are Greek-inspired especially clothing items such as evening gowns. There are many hairstyles which have been worn since Grecian times. Gladiator sandals have been in style lately, many designs which were very similar to ones the ancient Greeks would have worn.

The modern inhabitants of Rome, which is the capital of Italy, wear western clothes.

Ancient Roman men wore the toga, a long piece of fabric which was elaborately draped around the body and worn loosely. They wore this over a tunic which reached down to the knees.

Ancient Roman women wore the stola: two rectangular segments of cloth joined at the side by fibulae and buttons with the garment draping freely over the front. It was fastened around the shoulders by clasps. Two belts were worm. One was below the breasts, which created peats, and the other was around the waist. Most had short sleeves, but some had long sleeves. A tunicwhich could have long sleeves was worn under the stola.A palla could be won over the stola. This was a sort of shawl made of an oblong piece of material which was draped over the left shoulder, under the right arm, and then over the left arm. It could be with or without hood. The stola of richer women could be elaborate and a limbus could be added to it. This was a piece of material with many pleats sown to the hem of the stola. It looked like another gown worn beneath the stola and created the look of many layers. This was a symbol of wealth. There were fewer restrictions on the dresses of women (by tradition men had to wear undyed togas). Whilst many stola were undyed, they could be almost of any colour. The tunics of women could be brightly coloured and made of lightweight fabrics such as linen or silk. A wide ornamental border (instita) on the lower hem of a white tunic or stola was a marker of wealth.

The stola of poor women was a piece of material with holes for the head and the arms, tightened around the waist with a belt.

Believe it or not, no, clothing and fashions did not change during the Roman era. The tunic and toga for the men and the pala and stola for the women remained the same just about all through the Roman dominance. What did change, however, was the quality of the fabrics that the clothing was made from and the hairstyles and amount of jewelry for the women.
