In Old Testament times the distinction between male and female attire was not very marked. The statute forbidding men to wear female apparel (De 22:5) referred especially to ornaments and head-dresses. Both men and women wore (1) an under garment or tunic, which was bound by a girdle. One who had only this tunic on was spoken of as "naked" (1Sa 19:24; Job 24:10; Isa 20:2). Those in high stations sometimes wore two tunics, the outer being called the "upper garment" (1Sa 15:27; 18:4; 24:5; Job 1:20). (2.) They wore in common an over-garment ("mantle," Isa 3:22; 1Ki 19:13; 2Ki 2:13), a loose and flowing robe. The folds of this upper garment could be formed into a lap (Ru 3:15; Ps 79:12; Pr 17:23; Lu 6:38). Generals of armies usually wore scarlet robes (Jg 8:26; Na 2:3). A form of conspicuous raiment is mentioned in Lu 20:46; comp. Mt 23:5.
Priests alone wore trousers. Both men and women wore turbans. Kings and nobles usually had a store of costly garments for festive occasions (Isa 3:22; Zec 3:4) and for presents (Ge 45:22; Es 4:4; 6:8,11; 1Sa 18:4; 2Ki 5:5; 10:22). Prophets and ascetics wore coarse garments (Isa 20:2; Zec 13:4; Mt 3:4).
