They wore linens in the summer and wool in the winter.

Athenians wore light, loose clothes, as the weather was hot for most of the year. Long pieces of colorful fabric were used to make the clothes. The main item of clothing for men was a tunic, called a chiton, These were big squares of cloth, held in place by pins at the shoulders and a belt round the waist. They were made from wool in the winter, or linen in the summer. Women also wore clothing which was made from big square piece of linen or wool. They used pins in various places to hold it together. Unlike the men's, the dresses always went down to the ankles. The ancient Athenians could buy cloth and clothes in the agora. Wealthy people had tunics made of colored cloth. The tunics of the poor were plain. In cold weather, cloaks were worn. Most people went barefoot. If they needed shoes, they put on leather sandals or boots. Hair was curled, arranged in interesting and carefully designed styles, and held in place with scented waxes and lotions. Women kept their hair long, in braids, arranged on top of their head, or wore their hair in ponytails. Headbands, made of ribbon or metal, were very popular.
