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 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. From the New Kingdom (c.1500BC) it was fashionable for wealthy men to have the garment pleated. Rich Egyptian men decorated their clothes, wore jewellery and elaborate wigs. For ordinary men the schenti remained short and plain, unchanged for thousands of years.

The clothes worn by male slaves working in the household of the rich depended on their status. Male slaves put to work on the land, building the monuments and working in the quarries wore no clothes.
