How to put it together

1
Put on the sokchima (petticoat) to establish the voluminous base shape of the skirt.
2
Wrap the chima (skirt) high around the chest, just under the armpits, securing the straps tightly over the shoulders or around the bodice.
3
Put on the jeogori (jacket) over the skirt, ensuring the white collar band (git) sits smoothly against the neck.
4
Tie the otgoreum (chest ribbon) by folding the longer strap over the shorter one to form a neat, single-sided bow on the right side of the chest.
5
For men, secure the baji (trousers) at the waist and tie the ankle straps (daenim) neatly around the ankles.
6
Attach the norigae pendant to the waist tie of the skirt so it drapes elegantly down the front.

Makeup & hair

Keep makeup clean, natural, and dewy with soft pink or peach lip color. For women, style hair in a neat low bun (jjok-meori) secured with a decorative hairpin (binyeo), or a neat braid down the back with a ribbon (daenggi) at the end.

Korean Costumes for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: One partner wears a women's hanbok (jeogori and chima) and the other wears a men's hanbok (jeogori, baji, and a long vest or po).
group: A group can wear matching hanboks in coordinating pastel or vibrant primary colors, representing different traditional roles.
kids: Children's hanboks often feature bright, multi-colored striped sleeves (saekdong jeogori) symbolizing good fortune.
Plus size: The high-waisted, flowing design of the chima is naturally forgiving and highly adjustable; look for wrap-style skirts with extra-long ties.
pet: A lightweight pet-sized hanbok cape with a small decorative bow on the back.

Tips

Always wear flat, comfortable shoes like simple white flats, as the long skirt will cover your feet.
Ensure the chest ribbon (otgoreum) is tied correctly; the bow should loop to the left side of the wearer, with the long tails hanging down.
Avoid stepping on the front hem of the skirt when walking by gently lifting the front of the skirt slightly with one hand.

Did you know? The vibrant colors of traditional Hanboks are based on the 'Obangsaek' theory, representing the five traditional Korean colors (white, black, blue, yellow, and red) which correspond to the five elements of yin and yang.
