Beautiful Hanbok, The Traditional Korean Dress Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Hanbok South Korea or Joseon-ot North Korea is the representative example of traditional Korean dress. It is characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means `Korean clothing`, hanbok usually refers specifically to clothing of the Joseon period and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Korea had a dual clothing tradition in which rulers and aristocrats adopted different kinds of mixed foreign-influenced indigenous styles while commoners preserved a distinct style of indigenous clothing, today known as hanbok.
