Detailed explanation-1: -The most iconic piece of Roman clothing, the toga virilis (toga), may have originated as a simple, practical working garment and blanket for peasants and herdsmen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The toga (/ˈtoʊɡə/, Classical Latin: [ˈt̪ɔ. ɡa]), a distinctive garment of ancient Rome, was a roughly semicircular cloth, between 12 and 20 feet (3.7 and 6.1 m) in length, draped over the shoulders and around the body. It was usually woven from white wool, and was worn over a tunic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Togas are extremely heavy and limiting of movement. The wearer of a toga must walk slowly and deliberately. Tunics are lightweight and allow freedom of movement.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the early days of Rome, both men and women wore the toga, men wearing it without anything underneath except a loincloth; even later when it was worn nearly exclusively by men it continued to be worn by girls until they were 12.
