After the Romans adopted the tunic for everyday wear, the
toga became a largely ceremonial garment restricted to
formal occasions. I propose that a toga could be worn as a
replacement for a suit jacket for informal wear.
A toga worn in this manner would match the colour of the
pants (and waistcoat,
if applicable), and would be worn
over a dress shirt with a necktie, exactly as a jacket would
be.
(???) take-off on togas for women

Uhh... It's awesome and you should give it a bun. |
|
| |
Why not just do it? People all over the world wear ‘national’ costume as a suit-substitute. |
|
| |
I would be more interested in advocacy for Barbarian formalwear - strictly nothing but a leather waistbelt and an elbow-length fur cape, accessorised with a heavy jewelled gold brooch and (optionally) a gold-mounted sword. |
|

While it's not really an original (let's do as the Romans did) idea, and is presented in the form "Let's All Do X" - I actually rather like it and would love it if I went to work where everyone wore a toga. At least during the summer month anyway. [+] |

I haven't checked this, but I think the toga was always just a formal garment, comparable to a business suit; after all, it's hard to imagine (manual) working or fighting in it. |
|
| |
[Pertinax] The early toga was a simpler, tighter-fitting, lighter
garment than that worn later. As it evolved into formalwear, it
became longer, heavier, looser, and its drape became more
complicated. |
|
| |
But didn't Cincinnatus still have to take off his (early) toga to return to his ploughing? |
|
| |
I studied Fashion Design and History of Fashion, so I would like this, but I would also like to see ANY kind of creativity in clothing, as the masses are asses...so here's a bun for fun. [+] |

I think this would be truly tremendous [+]. I could see people for philosophical counselling in it. |
|
| |
I think a world of togae would be lovely. [+] |

"Is anything worn beneath the toga ?" |

As I said, it is worn with a suit in place of a jacket. |
|
| |
Aren't togas already work ceremonially in colleges and universities? |
|
| |
According to a historical map I saw about Europe, the pants come from Crow Magnon culture, (although mentioned in the bible for the priests - but there they were used as underwear). |

"'it's hard to imagine (manual) working or fighting in

|

I prefer to imagine Manuel working and fighting in
nothing at all. |

You're sick, [dentworth], you need help. |

I have actually trialled this concept at a Roman toga party. Sadly over the evening the staples that clipped together this delicious confection plinked musically one by one to the floor, leaving me at risk of creating an orgy in the kitchen. I fled reciting Plato. |

... says the collective alien personality. :) |
|

I think they are just jealous of Manuel. |
|

Would Senators wear the toga praetexta, then? |
|

Alas, this appears to fall into the "not an original idea"
category for MFD.... |
