Hanbok is the traditional korean outfit. Nowadays it isn't used much, except for special occasions like visiting the in-laws, a funeral, first birthday, when people turn 60, or in weddings, but using this is your decision, although it is considered very polite to use them in this occasions. Koreans have been very united with the nature, the hanbok's cloth is colored using natural dyes, and this gives them a very beautiful appearance. The basic parts of the hanbok are the jeogori, which is the upper part with long sleeves (it has the same name for men and women, but it has different characteristics for each) ,baji for the bottom for men, and chima for the bottom for women. They adjust the dress with a belt. They have many different accessories that give more beauty and elegance to the dress.
Hanbok is also worn by kids, and since it isn't meant to be very adjusted to the body, your body figure doesn't really matter, you can wear hanbok without having problems. There are different types of hanbok for different occasions, for example, at a wedding, the dress is very elegant with different accessories:
