Here's an example of a chlamida, a Greek piece of clothing. Chlamida is the original Greek name for these and I had a difficult time finding this on the web as everything I searched ended up being about the venereal disease that sounds like it. Oy! Is anyone today up to wearing one of these? No clothes underneath just the chlamida, as the last photo shows. I imagine only men wore these.

I imagine that the men that wore these were warriors, maybe I'm wrong but I'm just guessing.
Yeah, probably
Who is the man in the color photo? (Or, what film is this from?)
Thanks
In Greek we also use the word chlamyda (ΧΛΑΜΥΔΑ) to mean Peplum movies !!
The word derives from the ancient Greek chlamys (ΧΛΑΜΥΣ), pl. chlamydes (ΧΛΑΜΥΔΕΣ).
A warmer option was to wear it over other clothing. See Greek Travelling Costume image at:
