What Korean girls wear under hanbok?
The women’s hanbok comprises a wrap-around skirt and a bolero-like jacket. It is often called chimajeogori, chima being the Korean word for skirt and jeogori the word for jacket. We obviously would wear normal underwear (bra and panties) and then over that is a layer of hanbok undergarment which is usually the same style as the hanbok itself. It does not have a jacket but is consistent with the skirt. It is usually white and relatively light unless it is worn under a winter hanbok in which case the fabric would be of a heavier kind. In the olden days women used to wear many layers of undergarments so the hanbok would look fuller and it was also useful in the colder months to keep them warm.
