How did Ancient Egypt farmers dress?

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptian peasants wore rags and were not wealthy enough to have properly cut cloth. It would be a shade of brown, spotted with dirt and sand from lack of washing, and irregularly covering the limbs.

Answer 2

The Egyptians wanted clothes that would keep them cool because they lived in the desert and had to work outside in the sun all day. It would get pretty hot! Linen was a nice cool fabric that the Egyptians could make in the desert, so the Egyptians used linen for their clothing. Linen is a type of fabric that comes from flax plant fibers. It was made by soaking flax plant stems in water until only fibers remained. The fibers were combed into fine strands and then spun into string. This string was then woven into linen. Children did not have to worry about clothes because they didn't wear any. Women wore a tube dress, a piece of fabric draped around their body with two straps at the top. Men wore a short skirt called a kilt. This kilt was held up with a knot or buckle. As time went on the short kilt became a long kilt.
