Advice
- Wear undergarments. You can wear a traditional tunic if you have one, however wear something under the toga. A white t-shirt is fine for men; for women, a strapless top or bra. Both genders should wear underpants. The toga can be attached to undergarments and these can be useful for covering the private parts in case the toga melts.
- If you don't have to walk that much, you can just fold the flaps inside.
