If they were officers of state the patricians wore the toga praetexta. If they were former officers of state they wore it at festivals, in ceremonial occasion and upon burial. This was a toga made of undyed wool (and therefore off-white) with broad purple stripe on its border. Otherwise they wore Toga virilis or toga alba (white) or toga pura (pure) an off-white toga. This was a toga worn by all adult male Roman citizens. However, only the rich could afford to have one.
Roman senators wore the tunica Laticlavia, an off-white tunic with broad purple stripes. Most patricians were senators.
