Hanbok is the Korean traditional clothing. Historically, Koreans wore their own clothing, while the ruling party and the nobility created fashion by introducing foreign cultural influences, and wore different clothing according to etiquette. Coloured cloth may have different appearance according to the double-stitched cap issued by the ruling party of each age, but most commoners also enjoyed wearing white skirts and hanbok, including the standard clothing.
Hanbok has several features that appear as traditional Korean clothes. They are basically very energetic and do not stick to clothes. The fabric itself also has aesthetic features that help curves rise when worn in a straight line but also because it has no pocket. Finally, Hanbok is divided into the jacket, the skirt, and the upper and the lower parts, which are different from those of neighboring countries.
Modern Korean clothes are very similar to the traditional Korean clothes worn during the Joseon Dynasty and are often worn during holidays and in formal occasions. Gaejeong Hanbok emphasizes convenience of life, and its appearance changed during the 20th century. Hanbok is not as fast as clothing, so it is not ready-to-wear as the suit is, but it is being tried today by several Hanbok designers, combining colors, materials, and features according to the times and popular demands.
