CLOTHING
The men wore wraps around skirts known as the shendyt, belted at the lower waist and the frontal assembled and pleated whilst the women frequently wore kalasiris, which are sheath dresses and were more conservative than the male garments.
MEN AND WOMEN
CHILDREN
Kids did not wear any garment until the age of 6. At the age of 6 they were permitted to be adorned with clothing, to shield them from the coarse and scorching heat. A common hairstyle was a side lock on the head. Below the ages of 6, when they wore no clothing, they used hair accessories, bracelets and anklets. Growing older they wore similar fashions as their parents.
JEWELLERY
Gems that were substantial and rather voluminous were exceptionally well known in Ancient Egypt. The primary explanation behind wearing gems is a result of its aesthetics. Accessories offered a plausibility for difference. The Egyptian preference was towards the utilization of brilliant hues, shiny stones and valuable metals. Gold was won in huge amounts in the east of Egypt.
Then again, silver was uncommon and was transported in from Asia. In this manner, it was silver that was frequently viewed as more valuable than gold. The eastern desert was likewise an imperative hotspot for vivid semi-valuable stones, for example, jasper, amethyst and carnelian. Glass and faience were top choices to supplant rocks since they could be generated in many hues.
FOOTWEAR
