Hanbok

Hanbok (South Korea) is the traditional Korean dress. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons. (from Wikipedia)

This is a part of what I prepared for my how to wear Hanbok speech. Hanbok is Korean traditional clothes which both men and women wear. These days, people do not often wear Hanbok, but there are many tries-kind of a movement- to make Hanbok a wearable clothes. Here are several pictures of modern versions of Hanbok.

And this is traditional one.

A Korean actress Yoon Jung Hee in Cannes Film Festival. She looks gorgeous and beautiful with that blue and purple Hanbok. Red clutch goes well with the clothes, too. Personally, I think the most beatiful aspects of Hanbok are soft curves in skirt, and Goreum(Kind of a tie or ribbon. The blue ribbon you can see in that picture!)
