Introduction of Korean traditional costumes

Korean clothing is characterized by oblique, no buttons and long cloth ties. Men wear pants with large crotch, which is convenient for sitting cross-legged, and the pants are tied with ribbons. Men like to wear colored vests with buttons, mostly gray, brown and black, and add robes when visiting (the style is the same as that of the coat). Young and middle-aged people generally don't wear plain white clothes, but wear gray and black trousers and a white coat with a black vest. Traditional Korean women's clothing is characterized by long coats and short skirts. Short coat is called "Korea" in Korean, and yellow coat and pink skirt are typical examples. The coat is as long as the three buttons on the coat, and the skirt is as long as the knee or foot. The sleeves of the coat are round and fat, and the left and right skirts are tied in a bow on the right chest with two long knots, giving people an elegant aesthetic feeling. The neckline and cuffs of coats are mostly bordered with different colors of cloth.
