Ancient Egyptian clothing differed based on social class. The lower classes, including slaves, wore little to no clothing, while higher classes and royalty wore more elaborate outfits made of finer materials. Royalty, both male pharaohs and female royalty, had distinctive clothing styles - pharaohs wore a stiff loincloth and later a fringed tunic, while royal women wore a one-piece woven dress called a kalasiris or a haik consisting of two cloth pieces stitched at the sides. Their clothing often featured decorative elements like belts, collars, and shawls.
