When did Romans stop wearing togas?

Answer 1

The toga, as we all know, was the symbol of Roma citizenship. It's history goes back to the type of garment that the early settlers who would eventually found Rome wore. The early togas were simple wraps, affording protection for the entire body and if necessary, the head.

Answer 2

At the beginning of the city the Romans wore their togas daily as a sign of their citizenship, in other words, the toga said who they were. However over the years the toga grew in bulk and width until it was too clumsy and bulky to wear comfortably. By the late republic, the toga had just about gone out of style in favor of more comfortable cloaks. When Augustus came to power, he actually had to pass an ordinance to have all men wear their togas on state or formal occasions. The emperor Caracalla banned the toga during his reign, having men wear the caracalla, which was a type of coat/cloak that he favored.

Answer 3

By the late Republic, the Roman men stopped wearing togas except for very serious occasions. They had grown from the simple "bedsheet" type of garment worn in the early days of the city, to massive bulky wraps that one needed a servant to help put on and to keep it hanging correctly once a man tried to move in it. I won't even mention what would happen if a man had to use a latrine. When Augustus came into power he had to pass a law stating that on all state occasions a Roman citizen had to wear a toga. The emperor we know as Caracalla even banned the toga and by law replaced it with the caracalla, which was the garment he always wore and from which he got his nickname.
