A nation's clothing is mainly formed under the influence of natural and social environment, which will have an impact on the shape and structure of clothing in terms of living habits and production methods. Theoretical research on traditional Korean costumes will help us to understand the charm of Korean costumes more deeply.

First, the characteristics of Korean traditional costumes and the analysis of influencing factors of costumes

An analysis of the characteristics of Korean traditional costumes. The characteristics of Korean traditional costumes are reflected in many aspects, among which the artistic characteristics are more prominent. Various patterns drawn on Korean costumes represent the good wishes of the Korean people. In Korean traditional costumes, the use of colors and patterns is not only a symbol of their culture, but also a reflection of their religious beliefs and philosophical thoughts. [1] Korean people's pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty is also presented in traditional costumes. Korean costume art is an important part of Korean culture and an important embodiment of Korean culture.

From the modeling analysis of Korean shoes, it is unique and has the name of "hook-back shoes". The most prominent thing is that the shoe mouth is very shallow, which can expose the foot surface and is convenient to put on and take off. The back of the shoe is slightly inclined like the front end, but not as high as the toe. The upper opening and front and back seams of shoes are decorated with colorful ribbons. This design not only adds a layer of protection to the places where shoes are easy to wear, but also enhances the decorative and aesthetic feeling of shoes.

The characteristics of Korean traditional costumes have also been vividly presented in the style of costumes. From the perspective of clothing style, Koreans are more advocating plain white clothing, which is called "white nation" and has a pursuit of spiritual purity. According to the theory of oriental five elements, the concept of natural colors is mainly composed of cyan, purple, yellow, white and black, which is also the national characteristic of Koreans who love natural colors. [2] From the perspective of Korean women's clothing, the beauty of clothing can be reflected in the appearance lines, fabrics and graphic colors of decorative patterns, and the clothing with white as the main color can clearly reflect the customs and habits of Koreans.

An analysis of the influencing factors of Korean traditional costumes. There are many factors that affect Korean traditional costumes, among which geographical location is one of the most important factors. Korean people are mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces, and Yanbian area has outstanding regional characteristics. Korean culture is closely related to Korean peninsula culture, so it also has its own distinctive characteristics in clothing, with elegant and plain colors. [3] Due to the influence of climatic characteristics, robes are mainly used, which are ankle-long and knee-short. In terms of materials, wool and cotton blankets are used in winter and silk and linen are used in summer.

Aesthetics and Development of Korean Traditional Costume

Aesthetic analysis of Korean traditional costumes. From the aesthetic point of view of Korean traditional costumes, there is a pursuit of external formal beauty. Traditional clothing is the change of straight line and curve, which is an important cultural feature of clothing and embodies a full sense of volume. In the application of the line, it is natural and smooth, and can reflect the elegant appearance. In terms of internal formal beauty, it is mainly reflected in the spiritual image of clothing. Koreans admire nature and are deeply influenced by Confucian culture, so they pay more attention to external beauty and internal beauty. Not only that, in terms of the beauty of materials, natural materials are extracted and applied to the production of clothing. With the change of seasons, the pursuit of materials is also natural. Clothing made of natural materials is more prominent in the sense of volume, which can form a more close-fitting shape, thus showing a variety of traditional clothing contours.

Second, the way to develop Korean traditional costumes. To carry forward Korean traditional costumes, we should pay attention to the presentation of costume cultural characteristics and create a space for the development of costume cultural traditions. Through festival activities, we should actively construct the development space of traditional costume culture to meet the needs of the public's costume culture, thus contributing to the further development of national costumes. [4] We should also establish a creative concept of cultural industry development, pay attention to the formation of the concept of national costume culture industrialization, and constantly improve the value of cultural products through high-grade materials and high-grade technology. Not only that, but also pay full attention to the application of Korean traditional costume culture in industrialization, and pay more attention to the positioning and market connection of creative industries. Only by strengthening these aspects can we contribute to the further development of Korean traditional costumes.

In a word, by analyzing the characteristics and aesthetics of Korean traditional costumes, we can further understand Korean culture, which is a peace-loving and energetic nation. In the future development process, Korean traditional costumes should rely on the power of culture to present distinctive national characteristics in costumes, thus promoting the spread of local culture.
