The ancient Egyptians, men and women, wore linen clothes throughout the hot weather. Linen is a fabric made from plant fibers. The plant fiber comes from flax plants that grow abundantly along the banks of the Nile. The men wore short skirts around their waists called kilts, while the women usually wore long tunic style dresses or skirts. Wealthy men wore pleated kilts, and the older men would wear a longer kilt. When doing hard work, men usually wore a loin cloth, and women would wear a short skirt. Children usually went 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.
