What Did They Wore Wile Working With The Egyptians.

The ancient Egyptians made their own clothes from what their environment and nature gave them. Egypt has mostly a hot climate  the use of clothes reflect material that is lightweight to this type of climate. The ancient Egyptians used clothes made of linen. The ancient Egyptians both men and women wore linen clothes all throughout the hot weather. The men wore short skirts around their waists called kilts, while the women wore straight fitting dresses with straps on their shoulders. The wealthy men wore pleated kilts, and the older men wore a longer kilt. When doing hard work, men wore a loin cloth, and women wore a short skirt. Children usually ran around nude during the summer months. Linen is a fabric made from plant fibers. The plant fiber comes from flax plants that grow abundantly along the banks of the Nile
