Hanbok by season

Korea has four beautiful seasons, and you can experience different climates and weather in each season. Accordingly, since ancient times, Koreans have made and worn various types of hanbok to suit the season and climate.

korean summer hanbok

In hot summer, clothes were made using ramie and hemp cloth. Ramie and hemp cloth are natural fabrics made from the stems of plants. They are airy and do not cling to the body, making them suitable for summer clothing. Summer hanbok is not made to fit the body like a suit, but is designed to allow for good ventilation by leaving a space between the body and the clothes. This extra space became a passageway, allowing air to flow freely, creating a feeling of coolness and cooling of sweat. In particular, on midsummer nights, people enjoyed a comfortable sleep by using "Jukbuin", which is made of woven bamboo to allow air to pass through.

On the other hand, in the cold winter, to overcome the cold, hanbok was made using "Mumyeong", a fabric that does not allow wind to enter. Cotton is a thread made from cotton, and compared to hemp or ramie, the spacing between the threads is narrower, so it is not well ventilated, making it a suitable material for winter. In addition, winter hanbok uses two layers of warm fabric and puts cotton in between to form a "quilted hood" to increase warmth. Through this, Hanbok provided a warm and comfortable fit even in the cold winter.

Hanbok is a traditional Korean costume that has both beauty and practicality. Hanbok, made of various materials and designs according to the season and climate, is a part of Korean life and a symbol of culture. Even today, hanbok is worn on special occasions and anniversaries, and presents a wonderful blend of tradition and modernity. Hanbok is our beautiful cultural heritage and a proud relic, and we look forward to continuing the tradition and developing it in line with the new era.

Modern hanbok, which has been improved to meet the needs of modern society, is also gaining popularity. Modified hanbok maintains the traditional design and materials while providing freedom of movement and a comfortable fit.
