The tunica was completed by the toga, a large white woolen cloak that wrapped around the body, leaving the right arm free. It was made of a large woolen cloth cut with both straight and rounded edges; it was not sewn or pinned but rather draped carefully over the body on top of the tunic. Only male citizens were allowed to wear the toga.

• toga virilis also called toga pura: unadorned toga in the off-white color of the undyed wool that was worn by adult male citizens.
• toga praetexta: off-white toga with a broad purple border shown in the right-hand drawing. The only adults allowed to wear this toga were curule magistrates (curule aedile and above).
• toga pulla: toga made of dark-colored wool worn during periods of mourning.
• toga candida: artificially whitened toga worn by candidates for political office.
• toga picta: purple toga embroidered with gold thread worn by a victorious general during a triumphal parade and later adopted by emperors for state occasions. A variant of this costume was the toga purpura, an all-purple toga worn by the early kings and possibly adopted by some emperors
