hanbok (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) consists of a fluffy skirt called a chima (<strong>\uce58\ub9c8<\/strong>) and a jogori (<strong>\uc800\uac70\ub9ac<\/strong>), which is a short jacket with long sleeves.\u00a0 The collar of the jogori (<strong>\uc800\uac70\ub9ac<\/strong>) is v-necked and lined with a white band.\u00a0 Older women tend to wear dark colors such as brown and gray.\u00a0 However at weddings older women will wear light pastel colors similar to the color\u00a0sky blue and light pink.\u00a0 In general, women 50 years old and above will wear subdued colors.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not considered fitting and proper for a women of mature age to wear bright colors.\u00a0 However it&#8217;s quite alright for children and younger women\u00a0to wear bright colors such as yellow, red, gold and green.<\/p>\n<p>Hanboks (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) can be quite expensive.\u00a0 They tend to start at around $200 and cost more depending on the design and quality of silk used.\u00a0 For example some hanboks (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) have a different color cuff at the end of the sleeves.\u00a0 Sometimes the cuff is lined with white rabbit fur.\u00a0 My favorite hanboks (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) are the ones with print on them.\u00a0 The prints can be of various design, but they tend to be subtle so as not to overpower the dress.\u00a0 The most popular prints are of Chinese characters.\u00a0 A lot goes into the designs made for animals and plants.\u00a0 Stichers spend hours sewing intricate details, often by hand.\u00a0 Sometimes oil paints are used.\u00a0 The oil paints take just as long and look very polished.<\/p>\n<p>For men, hanboks (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) tend to be a lot less elaborate.\u00a0 (This is why it&#8217;s more fun to be a\u00a0girl!)\u00a0\u00a0They consist of baggy pants called baji (<strong>\ubc14\uc9c0<\/strong>) and a jogori (<strong>\uc800\uac70\ub9ac<\/strong>) but more in the shape of a vest.\u00a0 The baji (<strong>\ubc14\uc9c0<\/strong>) and jogori (<strong>\uc800\uac70\ub9ac<\/strong>) are of different colors and sometimes they have Chinese print on them.<\/p>\n<p>In the old days only nobles could wear a hanbok (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>) of different colors.\u00a0 People born of low rank were required to wear a white hanbok (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>).\u00a0 Today, only people who are in a state of mourning wear a white hanbok (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>).\u00a0 Even if you don&#8217;t wear a hanbok (<strong>\ud55c\ubcf5<\/strong>), it&#8217;s nice to just have one as a decorative piece in your home.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll certaintly get questions about it from your guests.\u00a0 So go ahead and get one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For special
