The toga went out of style because of its impracticability. The Roman toga was not the skimpy ones you see in movies. For starters, it was long--ground length, making it difficult to walk. Then over the years it grew in width. It got so big and bulky that most men had to have a slave help him put the thing on so it would hang just right, not to mention how hot it would be in the Roman summers. It became so unpopular that Augustus had to actually pass a law that men had to wear their togas at formal state occasions.
