Jeogori (Top)

Korea

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 233

For men and women, the top or upper garment of a hanbok (Korean dress) is called a jeogori. The pieces share the same basic features: long sleeves and an open form closed left over right with a single tie. The jeogori’s length and sleeve shape has changed over time in response to fashion trends. Women’s styles vary more greatly, ranging from cropped to long silhouettes. Climate and seasonality can influence a garment’s materials and design. Quilting and padding, for example, create thicker and warmer jeogori.
