Day Eight

The way Korean hanboks inspires me in many ways. I like the fact that the hanboks do not come in only certain colors or just one color, but they come in many beautiful colors. Even though most hanboks are designed with the same style, they always have some sort of shape or embroidering that makes it look different from the rest. Korean hanboks inspire me because they are designed to represent their traditional culture. However, very few Korean people wear hanboks anymore unless there is some sort of celebration. Hanboks are worn almost always by Kings, Queens, and those who are royalty. Korean hanboks are all made of a silk fabric that makes it very comfortable to wear.

The picture shown is some examples of how Korean hanboks look like. Children who are of wealthy families wear hanboks as well. After researching about Korean clothing, Korean people wear a white gown underneath the hanbok for warmth. When wearing hanboks, there are usually no jewelries or accessories worn with it. i wasn't able to research what the shoes were called, but Korean people wear decorative and colorful ballet-looking shoes to go along with their hanboks. The clothing in the picture shows that although hanboks are simple, they are still fashionable. By viewing the picture, some people could automatically tell that the clothing is from an Asian culture.
