Traditional Korean Dress

The Treditional Korean dress is called Hanbok. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lineswithout pockets. Today, Hanbok often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as simi-formal or formal wear during traditonal festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons.

The women's hanbok is comprised of a wrap-around skirt and a jacket. it is often called chima-jeogori, the Korean word for skirt is chima and jeogori is the word for jacket.

The men's hanbok consists of a short jacket and pants, called baji. That are roomy and bound at the ankles. Both ensembles may be topped by a long coat of a similar cut called durumagi. The Yangban, a hereditary aristocratic class based on scholarship and official, wore brightly colored hanbok of plain and patterned silk in cold weather and closely woven ramie cloth or other high-grade, light weight materials in warm weather. On the other hand, commoners, were restricted by law as well as finances to lighten hemp and cotton, and could only wear white, pale pink, light green, gray or charcoal colors.


Koreans wear hanbok when it is traditional day or formal day like Korean New Year, Korean Thanksgiving day, or when when you marry then you wear wedding dress and then some people might wear hanbok after then formal wedding time. They have picture time then they might wear hanbok at that moment. We don't wear hanbok everyday.
