For shoes they wore sandals made from papyrus reed grown in the Nile River.
Men of all social classes wore a wrap-round skirt called a schenti which was tied at the waist using a belt. The length of the schenti 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. Throughout the ages the schenti worn by ordinary men remained short and plain. From about 1500BC (the beginning of the New Kingdom) it was fashionable for wealthy men to have the garment pleated.
Egyptian women wore full length tubular dresses with shoulder straps known as a kalasiris. 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 wore elaborate wigs.
The quality of cloth denoted your position in the pecking order. The higher a person's social rank the better quality cloth he or she wore. The Pharaoh's kilt was made of the finest linen, possibly embroidered with gold, whereas the commoner's kilt was made of linen of a poorer kind.
Complete nakedness for an elite Egyptian was not acceptable, only children, slaves and peasants could go about without clothes. Such an Egyptian would not raise an eyebrow at the sight of naked slaves working in the fields or on the construction of a monument.
Children of all classes did not wear clothes until they were about six years old. After then they wore the same clothes as adults.
Most Ancient Egyptians went barefoot most of the time but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt. The sandals worn by the poor were made of woven papyrus or palm while those worn by the rich were made of leather.
Tһе mοѕt commonly used fabric for clothing was linen. It was light, fine and easily draped over the body. Linen is woven from vegetable fibres obtained from the flax plant, a technique invented in Egypt. Textile production and fabric quality improved with better irrigation. The introduction of weavers from Syria weavers refined weaving techniques.
Linen came in several grades from the coarse schenti worn by a peasant to the diaphanous material draped over the bodies of the rich. It was not the only material in use: papyrus was used for aprons and sandals; wool was woven into shawls and other outer garments. Leather was used to make sandals.
As the climate is warm clothing was usually lightweight and made from linen. Silk was rare and only worn by the very rich. The men wore short skirts around their waists called kilts, while the women wore straight fitting dresses with straps on their shoulders. From the time of the middle kingdom men of high status wore a longer pleated kilt. Wigs and jewellery were worn by both men and women who could afford them. When doing hard work, men wore a loin cloth, and women wore a short skirt. Slaves working in the fields, building the monuments, working in the quarries and mines wore no clothes.

Yes, in fact they did. People only wore them, though, when they had to. Most egyptians didn't wear shoes, but most did.
The embalmers often wore a jackal-head mask.
