I don't even know who or what your talking about

What is the difference between a peplos and a chiton in Ancient Greece?
I am not a fashion freak, but my information is that a chiton is a tunic - a man's sleeveless shirt hanging loosely from the shoulders to about knee-level and often belted around the waist. It looked similar to the long shirts or tunics worn to this day in India and Pakistan, whose Indian name I'm afraid I don't know.





A peplos is a feminine garment - a top hanging in folds or pleats to, I believe, about waist level.





Perhaps some fashionistas could give better descriptions.
