Hanbok is a traditional Korean costume that was commonly worn during the Joseon Dynasty from 1392 to 1910.

Hanbok is made of natural materials such as silk, cotton, and hemp, and consists of a basic top and bottom.

 

The top of the hanbok is a short jacket with a natural shape and is commonly referred to as a "jeogori(저고리)".

It is worn with buttons on the side, and a skirt or pants of the same material is worn with it.

For women, the skirt is made to an appropriate length to prevent it from going above the knees.
