Kimono vs. Hanbok

Clothes I would really loooovvve to wear.

The kimono, is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women,men,and children which means 'thing to wear' (ki "thing" mono "to wear"). Kimonos are wrapped around the body,and is secured by a sash called obi which is tied at the back.

Hanbok (north korea) or Joseon-ot(south korea) is the Korean traditional dress. Traditional women's hanbok consists of jeogori (blouse shirt or jacket), and chima (wrap-around skirt which is usually worn full)

For further information about kimono or hanbok please google it yourself.

So, I was browsing through google images and found these two beautiful garments and well, I was thinking of in which I would look better, Kimono? Hanbok? kimono? Hanbok? Kimono? hanbok? hanbok? kimono? Argh??? Well anyways.

I think that whatever it is, both kimono and hanbok are very elegant and very pretty too, thus I want to try it both.


Note to self : must put 'wear kimono/hanbok' in 'to do list' when have the chance to visit Japan/Korea
