Jim's Korea

My mother-in-law has a fantastic eye for fashion. The hanbeok she selected was a hit with my teaching colleagues and students.

Buying one or two hanbeoks is an annual tradition that started just last year. I like to wear this traditional Korean outfit. Semi-formal hanbeoks, like mine, are made of cotton while formal ones are made of silk. Hanbeoks are very comfortable because they are loose and bulky. I usually wear mine while teaching. In addition to comfort, the professional image of a a hanbeok makes it suitable for both work and home.
