Korean Traditional Hanbok Design
The basic design of Korean Hanbok comprises of two pieces,an upper and lower garment.
The upper garment, the jeogori, is a bolero blouse-like jacket worn by both women and men.
For the lower garment, women wear a chima, a full-blown skirt that reaches past the ankles, and men wear a baji, a pair of roomy trousers.
On top of these basic garments, a wide variety of accessories and outerwear can be worn for different seasons and different occasions.
The collar of women’s Korean Hanbok Dress, which forms a
V-shape, can be adjusted to accentuate or subdue the neckline.
The rounded curve of the sleeve’s in-seams
bring out a sense of gentleness.
The straight line that is projected from the hanging goreum, the coat string-like long ribbon that ties the jeogori closed,presents a simple but elegant look.
The layers of wrinkles that gradually spread out from the waistline of the chima to the bottom also add to the subdued elegance.
