The Hanbok is the name given to the traditional Korean clothing. Hanbok means literally "Korean clothing" and consists mostly of a upper and lower part. It is the traditional garment for women and men.
The vivid colours and full covering are a unique features of the Hanbok and give the clothes a very gracious touch.
This type of clothes is still worn by Koreans for formal occasions such as weddings and festivals. A few older people are not used to wearing contemporary clothes and are still using their hanbok.
In modern day Korea, it is a marvellous site to see these bright colours in contrast with modern day black and white suits. It really stands out!
The Hanbok has a very long history, but the present day form is said to be the style used in 15th century Joseon dynasty. As Confucianism took over from Buddhism as the state religion/philosophy, the adepts of Confucius had their influence on the clothing. Especially the hanbok for women was standardised with a wide long skirt and closed long-sleeves top. So no piece of bare skin could possibly be shown.
