EGYPT APPAREL MARKET

INTRODUCTION

The term ” Egyptian clothes” refers to clothing that was worn in ancient Egypt from the end of the Neolithic period (before 3100 BC) until Cleopatra’s death in 30 BC, when the Ptolemaic Kingdom fell. Colors were everywhere on Egyptian clothing.

The ancient Egyptian fashions, embellished with precious gems and jewels, were designed not only for beauty but also for comfort. Egyptian clothing was designed to keep people cool in the scorching desert. Lining was by far the most commonly used fabric in ancient Egypt.

Comfortable living in the subtropical heat helped people. By spinning the fibers from the plant’s stem, linen is made from the flax plant.

All Egyptian societies relied heavily on spinning, weaving, and sewing. Clothing could be dyed with plants, but it was usually left in its natural color. Wool was known, but was thought to be unclean. Animal fibers, which were considered taboo, were only worn by the wealthy.

They were not allowed in sanctuaries or temples, but they were occasionally used as overcoats. The shenti, made of flax, was worn by all people, despite the fact that workers, peasants, and other modest individuals frequently wore nothing. Naked slaves frequently worked.

The khat, a loose headdress worn by men of noble rank, and the nemes, a striped headdress worn by monarchs, were two distinct headdresses.
