Poor civilians had very plain clothing and the clothing was usually the same color as the material it was made of. Wealthy people could have their clothing made of colored cloth with designs on them. Clothing could be purchased in most agoras, but it was very expensive. People chose to make their own clothing at home for the most part. The clothing at home was made by women and female slaves.
Men

Men typically wore a knee length "skirt" called a tunic. Most men wore them around one shoulder. In the summer, due to the heat, the tunics would be made of linen. In colder weather, they were made of wool. If it were cold and the wool tunics would not suffice, they could wear a wool cloak over top. These were sometimes used as blankets for men in battles. For shoes, men wore leather sandals, although some men spent their whole lives barefoot.
Women

Women usually wore one large piece of wool or linen (depending on the weather). The material was wrapped around them and pinned in different locations to make the material stay on the wearer. Like the men, women could wear a wool cloak when it was cold although they rarely went in public.
Children

The children would wear cloth wrapped around their legs that went to the knees, almost like a tunic. The fabric depended on the weather. Babies typically wore nothing at all but sometimes they would wear cloth diapers. In cold weather, they would be wrapped up in linen or wool to protect the baby.
Slaves

Slaves in ancient Greece did not have many rights. Typically a slave would not be allowed proper clothing or sometimes they were not allowed to wear clothing.
