Types of Togas • toga pura OR toga virilis • toga praetexta • toga candida • toga pulla • toga picta • toga trabea
toga pura (or toga virilis): The ordinary citizen's toga. It is undied, and thus off-white or cream colored.
toga praetexta: The toga worn by magistrates (and also by boys under the age of 16). It bears the purple stripe, the width of which varies according to the wearer. Senators and magistrates holding imperium wear a broad (3") purple stripe. Members of the Ordo Equites and magistrates without imperium wear a thin (1") purple stripe. Such stripes do not go all the way around the toga, but instead are placed on edge BEFA on the diagram (the upper-half of the toga).
toga candida: The stark-white toga worn by candidates running for office.
toga pulla: A dark toga, either brown, dark gray, or even black, worn while in mourning.
toga picta: A special toga worn only by military commanders who are celebrating a triumph. It is solid purple with decorations in golden thread.
toga trabea: A multi-colored toga, bearing purple and scarlet stripes, which was worn by Augurs.
