Gwanbok

Gwanbok is a traditional Korean clothing that people wear on special occasions such as weddings and holidays. It is made up of two separate pieces, a top called a jeogori and a bottom called a baji.

The jeogori looks like a jacket and is usually made out of silk or cotton. It has long sleeves and is slightly shorter than other jackets. The baji looks like wide-legged pants and is very comfortable to wear. Both the jeogori and baji are loose-fitting so that people can move around easily.

Gwanbok's colors and patterns represent different things. Red is the color of good fortune and wealth, blue/green is the color of peace and harmony, and black is the color of dignity and nobility. The patterns usually include flower and animal designs that have special meanings.

Wearing a gwanbok is an important part of Korean culture and tradition. It allows people to show respect for their ancestors and celebrate important events with their family and friends.
