From the late 5th to early 4th centuries BC, two distict styles of dress existed on images of women: the heavy peplos (tunic) or a thinner cloak that revealed the naked body beneath. As the 4th century progressed, fashions changed. The preferred mode of dress was a belted chiton, a show-sleeved tunic, one which a heavy cloak was worn, usually around the lower body. The peplos appears to have been less popular at this time.
