Stola vs. Chiton — What's the Difference?

The stola (Classical Latin: [ˈst̪ɔ.ɫ̪a]) was the traditional garment of Roman women, corresponding to the toga, that was worn by men. The stola was usually woollen.Originally, women wore togas as well, but after the 2nd century BC, the toga was worn exclusively by men, and women were expected to wear the stola.
