Roman men wore a toga or a pallium over a tunic. The toga was a cloth of 6 metre (20 ft.) which was wrapped around the body The pallium was a rectangular cloak which could be loosely draped and folded over the left shoulder (reminiscent of a toga) or folded two or three times into a wide strip of draped around the body and also draped twice over the left shoulder. It could be used as a blanket or folded up and sat upon. It replaced the toga for many Romans in Late Antiquity. In this later period it was sometimes semi-circular.

Roman women wore a stola (two rectangular segments of cloth joined at the side by fibulae and buttons with the garment draping freely over the front) over a tunic and a palla a sort of shawl made of an oblong piece of material which bit like a shawl draped over the left shoulder, under the right arm, and then over the left arm. It could be with or without hood.
