Everyone knows kimono and yukata of Japan,
and everyone knows cheongsam and qipao of China.
Their excuses would be "Hanbok is too plain, and it doesn't seem oriental enough." or anything similar to that.
That's probably why peopl have so little interest and information about them.
But really, there are many hanboks that are not so plain, and not known to foreigners.
Below, I'll show you all kinds of traditional hanboks.
First, women's:
Queen's attire at the
beginning of Joseon Dynasty
Queen's attire at the end of
Special Occasion for Queen
Female artists' clothings
Traditional Wedding Dress
Then the men's:
King's Clothes
Special Occasion for King
King's Outing Attire
Admiral's Armour
Clothes for Admiral
With the Highest Position
With the Highest Position
Scholar's Attire
What you've seen is a list of TRADITIONAL Korean dresses.
There are even more different kinds of clothings, but if I included all of them, it would be too much for you to see (and for me to search).
Now, I hope that all viewers know the that hanboks are also elaborate like kimono and qipao, and that it is different from those.
In my next post, I'll show you guys FUSION hanboks, also known as hanbok dresses.
They are hanboks that were modernized to make it easier to wear, and to fit the fashion tastes of the young people.
See you in my next post~
