Among the Roman men there were taboos pertaining to what to wear. As a normal, everyday, Roman citizen their clothing would be more plain, basic in fact.

Among men’s clothing there were three toga types: the basic tunic, the equestrian tunic, and the senatorial tunic. The first is an all-white basic tunic that is worn by the everyday citizen of Rome. The second incorporates some red into the tunic, while the last has elaborately flowing lines of red. The togas also resembled a stratified society, except the color red was replaced by purple. These wardrobes signified status and wealth, and so it was typically taboo for a lower-class Roman to be adorned in elaborate attire if he was not a part of the equestrian or senatorial caste. This meant that his wardrobe was limited by the status he attained and only a rise in status would allow him to break this taboo (McManus 1). The taboo of wearing certain attires is trumped by another taboo when Augustus enacts a new law in 18

The emperor himself would wear a toga with a purple stripe to show his status. As emperor, he would also wear the latus clavus, tunica palmata, and the toga palmata.

A blue tunic, or a red one?” He look down himself, at colorless fabric of his clothing.” But it’s all the same, always” This links with Lowry’s life as, it is trying to make everyone the same as well as eliminate choice using a uniform.

Clothing expression in medieval Europe, like all other forms of artistic expression at this time, found it's biggest outlet in the ecclesiastical field, as this was where all the money was to be found. The churches employed all the best builders and craftsmen in creating their great cathedrals, and art works. In clothing, the church dictated what sorts of materials were made, and brought into the area, what colors were in use, and what styles were used, influencing the secular as well as ecclesiastical dress. In the feudal system only great Barons and their families wore fine cloths, as clothing was a symbol of rank and importance. Each family made their own clothes, so fashion was very individualistic in style, and each family had their own characteristics. With an increase of wealth in the area, and the beginning of the crusades, new elaborate styles were introduced into the scene. Fashions became strange, and grotesque in nature reflecting the constant struggles and wars of the time, as fantasy and the grotesque generally influence social costumes accompanying times of war. Women in their headgear actually wore huge horns, like an ox, that towered above them and supported a veil, and men's shoes were peaked and extended six inches in front of them for common men, and a foot for gentlemen, and two feet for noblemen.

Just like the non-believer who does not understand a relationship with God is so much better then a life without. People don’t like what they cannot understand. So people find ways to want things to stay the same in a way that they have always known, because change scares them. If society always stayed in the mentality of sticking

In Ancient Rome men generally dressed in two garments, the tunic and the toga. The tunic consists of a short woolen undergarment with short sleeves. In contrast, to wear a long tunic with long sleeves was considered feminine and avoided by the society as a whole. The tunic worn by wealthy men was made from white wool or expensive linen, while the poor would wear any fabric they could get. Like the tunic, the toga was worn to signify one’s title.
