The Greek chiton is a traditional garment worn in ancient Greece, typically made from a rectangular piece of cloth. It was fastened at the shoulders and belted at the waist, allowing for a comfortable fit. The chiton could be made from various materials, including wool and linen, and was worn by both men and women in different styles. There were two main types of chitons: the chitoniskos, a shorter version for men, and the longer doric chiton for women. The garment was often adorned with decorative pins or brooches, showcasing the wearer's status and style. The chiton remains an important symbol of ancient Greek culture and fashion.
