Answer 2

Men wore kilts called a schenti, a style of clothing that did not change for thousands of years. 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. From about 1500BC (the beginning of the New Kingdom) it was fashionable for wealthy men to have the garment pleated. Throughout the ages the schenti worn by ordinary men remained short and plain.

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.

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.
