The himation is a traditional garment worn in ancient Greece, primarily by men. It is a rectangular piece of cloth, usually made of wool, that is draped around the body. The himation can be worn over a chiton, which is a simpler tunic, providing warmth and a sense of style. This versatile garment was often used in various social settings, from everyday wear to formal occasions. The himation could be styled in different ways, allowing the wearer to express individuality while adhering to cultural norms. It remains an important symbol of ancient Greek fashion and identity.
