Toga is a distinctive garment of Ancient Rome which was usually a cloth of 20 feet or 6 meters long, draped around the body. Throughout the years, it has evolved from being a garment worn exclusively by Roman men in the 2nd century BC, to today, where women would wear it in many shapes and styles.
I find toga dresses very sexy. The one-shoulder effect is what draws the eye towards the person without revealing too much. It also tends to make the wearer slimmer, because of the diagonal pull of the eye, from the shoulder to the waist. Any color of toga dresses are cool, though I think the lighter colors tend to make the shoulders broader and arms bigger. So if you are looking for that effect, go for it.
Accessorizing is super tricky as you may want to show off your neckline without calling out for attention. Keep the necklace simple and just go for elaborate bracelets and earrings instead.

| Toga dresses can be long and in white too. With gold accessories, it gives the "Greek goddess" effect. (Dress: Daniel Yam) |

| There are also many toga tops in t-shirt material that is comfortable. This one has little diamond embellishments on the shoulder. It dresses up the plain top and with a simple necklace, looks really classy. (I don't remember the name of the shop I got this top at, but it was at Far East Plaza, 3rd floor) |

| And even as a tourist you can wear a toga-inspired top. This one with sleeves and it is off-shoulder. This top can be converted to a non-toga when necessary, especially when visiting temples. |
