Togas made of wool or linen were the traditional dress of the early Romans. Lower class Romans wore simple clothing with little or no markings, while higher class citizens wore clothing with colorful stripes and trims. It was possible to tell a persons social status by what they were wearing. Both men and women wore similar styles of sandals, which were tied around the ankle with strips of leather. Roman women enjoyed wearing a lot of jewelry, attaching hairpieces, and dying their hair blond. Rings were the only jewelry that men wore, and it was in good taste to only wear one. Men wore wigs to hide baldness.
