VNS - Ancient Egyptian Costume

Ancient Egyptian attire radiates power and refinement, crafted from light materials like linen to suit the dry, hot climate of the region. Women typically wore fitted or pleated dresses with clean lines, while men wore a wrapped skirt called the “shendyt.” These garments were often embellished with large, vibrant collars made from gold, silver, and multicolored gemstones, symbolizing status and authority. The style’s distinguishing feature was in the intricate jewelry: arm cuffs, necklaces, serpent-shaped crowns, and the eye of Horus, embodying Egypt's immense wealth and deep spiritual devotion to the gods
