The hanbok, Korea's national costume, reflects the culture and climate of
the Korean peninsula. The woman's hanbok is composed of a chogori, a
bolero-like blouse, and a skirt called a ch'ima.
The men's hanbok consists
of a longer chogori and baggy trousers called paji. Like much of Korea's
art, the hanbok is characterized by subtle curves, flowing lines and
plenty of blank spaces. Traditionally they have been made of plain
fabrics.

Any decorations are usually sedate borders at the cuffs and hem,
though in modern times, some people have been known to wear hanbok made
with loud prints.
