Toga Candida is a traditional Roman garment worn by candidates during elections. It is a white toga, symbolizing purity and honesty, and was typically made from wool. The garment was worn over a tunic and was a sign of the wearer's intention to seek public office. The use of the Toga Candida dates back to ancient Rome, where it represented the aspirant's commitment to serve the public. Candidates would don this toga to distinguish themselves from the general populace, signaling their readiness to take on the responsibilities of leadership and governance.
