What is Hanbok?

Hanbok is a Korean traditional clothes that harmonize the straight lines with the soft curve lines.  The short top that comes down to the top of the chest area to the ground brings out the beauty in women.  As for men, the top accentuates the vest, which is worn with pants and a jacket that brings out the style.  In ancient time, as Korean people called themselves "the white-clad folk", most people had a preference for white Hanbok.  The common people usually wore white Hanbok and only the top class people wore colored Hanbok.  Also the shape of the top class people's Hanbok was different from the common people.  Recently, people design their own Hanbok in their freely styles.
