The Korean traditional costume is called 'Hanbok'. It has been handed down in the same forms for men and women for hundreds of years, unchanged because they are well suited to climate and culture.
The man's basic outfit consists of a Chogori (the jacket), paji (the trousers) and turumari (the overcoat). The jacket has loose sleeves, and the trousers are roomy and tied with straps around the ankles. The women's hanbok includes Chogori (the short jacket) with two long ribbons, which are tied to form the otkorun, and has long full sleeves and a full length, high waisted wrap around the skirt called the chi'ma. White cotton socks and boat, shaped shoes, (which is called Kokashin), made of silk, straw or rubbers are worn with those costumes.
