wool... but the women were more dress than men!

The men while competing in the original Olympic games do so naked! Wemon generally wore light clothes and somtimes may have been bare breasted in ancient Greece. Normall clothing for men was a toga (Though it wasnt called a Toga since that was a Roman name).

The same as poor Greeks, but better quality.

Summer: Chiton - knee-length linen shirt.

Winter: Peplos - x woollen tunic and Himation - a woollen cloak.

Footwear: sandals, slippers or boots, depending on the weather and activity.

Actually, the Romans wore togas. In ancient Greece, both men and women wore chitons (a large rectangular piece of dyed and often embroidered wool draped over the body so as to cover the right arm, leaving the left arm free). The back and front of thechiton were fastened at the shoulders with brooches, or fibulae. The borders of the cloth were frequently decorated with geometrical designs. The chiton was either knee-length or long; both profession and degree of activity dictating the amount of leg room allowed the wearer. A later variant of the basic chiton was fuller and softer, often pleated and caught at the waist by a girdle. The appearance of sleeves was developed by an orderly placing a small fibulae across the shoulders and down the arms.

They wore robe-like clothing and sandals.

The fishermen did not wear any sort of clothing, and were naked.

Usually, women wore more of dress like outfit. Wearing a white dress shows more wealth or importance, meanwhile, if you wear more colours,... so yeah. Hope it helped.
