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 men of all social classes wore their schenti short. In the Middle Kingdom well-to-do men wore them 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.

The majority of male slaves working in the households of the wealthy wore the clothes of ordinary Egyptian men. More important slaves were dressed the same as their owner.

Male slaves put to work on the land, building the monuments, temples and working in the quarries usually went naked.
