History of the hanbok
The hanbok consists of two main pieces. On the upper body, both men and women
wear a jacket called the jeogori. For the bottom, women wear a long, billowing
skirt called the chimaThe hanbok is known to be very comfortable.The origins
of the hanbok can be traced back to the Goguryeo Dynasty, one of the Three
Ancient Kingdoms of Korea.
Although the basic design of the hanbok has been barely altered, little
changes have been made here and there depending on different cultural impacts.
For example, due to the influence of Mongolian fashion during the reign of the
Mongol Empire in the 13th century, the jeogori for women was cropped shorter
above the waist. During the Joseon Dynasty, social class distinctions were
evident in hanbok styles. While commoners were strictly limited to using only
cotton and the color white for their garments, royals lavished in silks and
vibrant hues of the rainbow.
