Ancient Egyptian fashion included clothes decorated with various colors and precious stones. Although ancient Egyptian fashion was originally created for comfort, it does not mean that ancient Egyptians thought they should sacrifice beauty for comfort.

The main research results on ancient Egyptian fashion were obtained by Egyptian antiquarians from ancient Egyptian statues and murals, although some clothing styles were found in tombs and houses. Cosmetic boxes and many perfumes will also be buried with their owners, and the jewels in them can be traced back to different times.

Most clothes in Egypt are linen, which is a light and cool material, very suitable for hot climate. White is their most common color, but they also use red, blue and yellow. Clothes are worn on the body, tied or sewn in several places. Other clothes made of wool are very rare in archaeological excavations, because there are no items made of animals preserved in the tombs.

In ancient Egypt, sandals were common foot covers, made of plant fibers or leather. Scholars also found a fur-lined boot in an old house.

The ancient Egyptians thought it was very important to keep clean, and thought that hair would make people get dirty more easily. Most men shave their beards, while clergy shave their whole bodies. Rich men and women often shave their heads and wear wigs, which are made of human hair and sometimes mixed with plant fibers.

Pharaoh's headdress is very common in the portraits of Egyptian kings, but it is just one of many common headdresses in ancient Egyptian fashion. All kinds of gods in Egyptian mythology also have their own headdresses. Women usually make their hair into exquisite styles and wear headdresses.

Ancient Egyptian jewellery

Jewelry has always been very popular in ancient Egyptian history. Archaeological excavations of the mausoleum show that almost all the funerary objects of the Egyptian queen are a large number of jewels for the afterlife.

Jewelry is worn in all walks of life in Egyptian society. Amulets are considered to protect the wearer and are a popular form of jewelry. Amulets are usually made in the form of sacred symbols, such as the eye of Horus or the cross.

Both men and women wear jewelry collars made of beads, as well as armbands, bracelets and anklets. There is usually a seal on the ring. Since the New Kingdom, some Egyptians have pierced their ears and worn earrings.

The amount of jewelry a person wears often indicates their social status and wealth level. Even the poor who can't afford too many jewels try to decorate themselves with more jewels. Although (their jewelry) is not so expensive, civilian jewelry is usually brightly colored and made of materials such as pottery.

Gold is the most popular metal in jewelry making, because it has lasting luster and is easy to mine and process. Lapis lazuli is the most commonly used semi-precious stone.

Other cheap materials are made into semi-precious stones. For example, wrap transparent timing on colored cement to make it look like lapis lazuli. Since the New Kingdom, jewelers have made articles with colored glass. The goal of Egyptian jewelers is to promote colorful items, not reflective items.

Scarabs were very popular in ancient Egypt, mainly because of their religious significance. Scarabs of Scarabaeidae are considered as symbols of rebirth and time cycle. It was so important in ancient Egyptian culture that the Egyptian god, Kebuli (the god of rebirth, the incarnation of the sun god Ra), was either depicted as a scarab or his head was a scarab.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why scarabs are often worn as amulets or combined with other types of jewelry. It was also carved into seals (personal or administrative), made into souvenirs, and even buried with the dead to protect life after death. The latter usage is usually used in conjunction with spells, and scarabs put a pair of wings on the chest of the deceased.
