    The Celts' everyday dress probably consisted of tunics and cloaks, fastened by safety-pin brooches, for both sexes. Diodorus comments on their colored cloaks, dyed and well-embroidered shirts, and gold and silver decorated belts, splendid ornaments, especially torcs of gold and bronze, were worn by those men and women who could afford luxury. Timagenes recorded that the Gauls are exceedingly careful of their cleanliness and neatness, nor in the remote country dwellings would a Celtic man or woman ever appear to be dirty or ragged.
