When you live in a place with a climate as warm as the Land of the Pharaohs, you should dress in clothes with light tones so that it can reflect sunlight rays. Only then can you better cope with high temperatures. This is something that the ancient Egyptians knew very well, as can be seen in the representations of daily life that were drawn on their tombs, monuments and temples.
The pharaohs were interested in fashion. They not only wanted to be cool, but also well dressed. The fashion in Ancient Egypt today inspires international houses.
Gloves, tunics and ribbons were created 4 millennia ago that rulers combined with their pleated dresses and plain white robes, beautifully decorated with floral ornaments. But also, both women and men had their own fashionBut all the pieces of clothing had one thing in common: they were comfortable, with light tones to reflect the sunlight. And if this seems little to you, there is still more I want to tell you: there was a model for every occasion. Linen factories and looms designed clothing for temple visits, parties, and also for work.
At that time, social class was very important, so everyone had their own clothes. Those of the higher classes could afford to wear a different model wherever they went, and they always wore clean clothes that had been washed in specialized establishments; on the other hand, those of the lower classes could not have more than 2 or 3 very basic models. Fashion was changing dynasty after dynasty, but comfort and simplicity were always maintained.
Currently, you can see the parts shown in this article and many more in the Cairo Textile Museum. Unique in the Middle East. A very interesting place so you can see what fashion was like in Ancient Egypt 😉.
