========

By: chs1Dianne =In Ancient Greece, they wore very loose fitting clothes, they wore linen in the summer, and wool in the winter. They bought their clothes at the agora (marketplace) but it was extremely expensive. Many of the families couldn't afford their own clothes, so they made them, which were tunics and warm clothes. The clothes are made mostly by the mother and daughters, and also female slaves. =



= The men and women of Ancient Greece really enjoyed using mirrors and hairbrushes. Their hair was always curled. There was rarely blonde hair. They always bleached their hair, because that was the most admired hair color, even though it was very rare. They used very interesting designs for the hairstyles, and they used scented wax and lotion for hairspray. =

= The color of the men and women tunics were always very plain. They were almost always barefoot and only wore sandals to go out of their home. Women also wore earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. They also say, that up until about the 4th century, men wore jewelry too. Men had short hair, and beards. By the Hellenistic time, beards were out of style. Very long hair was the style for women, the only time a woman's hair was short, was if they were a slave. Women always had their hair braided and curled. After a very long time, they tied their hair up into a ponytail, and made it a bun. =
