Part of Korean Culture~Traditional Clothes "Hanbok"

Today, I'd like to share some information about our traditional clothes called Hanbok. It is an attire for the  Korean people so that's the reason why it is also called ' Joseon clothes' .  Hanbok's beauty and artistry has been recognized outside of Korea as well. The tradition of Hanbok has lasted over 1600 years and it is the longest history of traditional clothes.

We wear Hanbok on special occasions like Seollal ( Korean New Year's day ) and Chuseok ( Korean thanksgiving day ) .  Some people wear it on daily basis.
Hanbok can be classified into two categories. Formal and Non-formal.
Also it can be further classified by gender, age, and season.
There is also modernized Hanbok .


*Notice the difference between Hanbok, Kimono ( Japanese traditional clothes) and Qipao ( Chinese traditional clothes).
