The toga, the national dress of the Roman citizen, was worn from the founding of the city to around the late republic. However, over the years it grew from the simple "bedsheet" wrap to a large bulky, clumsy shroud that men were supposed to walk around in and be active in while still keeping the darn thing draped and elegant looking. The Roman men soon began eliminating the toga and replacing it with various types of cloaks which were more practical. However the toga was still worn on formal occasions. During the principate, Augustus demanded that togas be worn at all formal public gatherings.
