CLASSICAL GREECE
c.500 - 323BCE
Clothing worn during the classical period of ancient Greece was made of simple elements draped to sophisticated effect.
Loose-fitting and free-flowing, it was adaptable to different seasons.
The key garment for both men and women was the chiton, a tunic comprising two rectangles of cloth attached at the shoulders and sides.
It could be arranged in many ways, and cut to different lengths.
Worn over the chiton was a cloaklike garment, the himation;
this was made of heavy material for outdoors, or of lighter cloth for a more fashionable effect indoors or in warmer weather.
Women also wore an alternative version of the tunic, called a peplos, which was gathered in at the waist and partially fastened at the top of the shoulders, allowing the free corners to drape.
The chlamys, a cape shaped like the clamshell it was named after, was originally worn by soldiers but, like many functional garments, became a fashion item.
Hairstyles
The Greeks paid as much attention to their hair as to their clothing.
In the classical period it was the fashion for young men to crop their hair short.
Women teased, frizzed, and curled their hair, using combs made of ivory, tortoiseshell, bone, olive wood, or bronze, depending on personal wealth.
Women never cut their hair (except in mourning, or if they were slaves), Letting it hang in long locks, or wearing it twisted with ribbons and piled up in a chignon.
Both men and women perfumed their hair with scents or fragrant oils.
Children had long hair - little girls tied their hair in ponytails.

古典希腊
公元前500年 - 公元前323年
古希腊时代的经典穿着,是由简单元素到复杂垂坠的一系列过程。
宽松和飘逸的款式能够满足不同季节的需要。
男性和女性的主要着装是一种叫chiton的长袍,它由两个长方形构成,在肩部与两侧固定。
这种款式可以有多种穿法,也可以裁剪到不同的长度。
长度及地的钟摆式chiton,我们叫它himation大长袍。
这种面料厚重的大长袍通常用作户外,或用轻薄的面料制作一种更时尚的款式在室内或者暖和的天气穿着。
除此之外,女性还有另外一种长袍的选择,叫做peplos,它是一款把重点褶皱集中在腰部,部分固定在肩膀处的款式,并且允许面料边角自然悬垂。
Chlamys斗篷,因形状像蛤蜊壳而命名,原来是供士兵穿着,但后来像许多功能服装一样,成为一件时尚单品。
发型
希腊人付出很多关注在他们的头发上,就如同他们在意穿着一样。
在古典时期,年轻男性将头发剪短是一件时髦的事。
女性梳理卷曲她们的头发,用象牙,玳瑁壳,骨头,橄榄枝,或者青铜材质制成的梳子,这取决于他们的个人财富状况。
女性永远不会剪短他们的头发(除非哀悼或者奴隶身份),他们会将头发盘起用长夹卡住,或将头发与丝带扭在一起堆成一个高发髻。
男性和女性都喜欢利用精油来香薰他们的头发。
孩子们会留长头发,小女孩将他们的头发扎成马尾。
