White Silk Korean Jeogori with Burgundy Ties

Korean Traditional · 1980s · Korean

A traditional Korean jeogori jacket constructed from white silk with a burgundy silk tie belt (goreum). The garment features the characteristic short, cropped silhouette that sits at the natural waist, with dramatically wide sleeves that taper toward narrow cuffs. The front panels overlap in the traditional Korean manner, secured by the long burgundy ribbon ties. The construction shows clean, minimal seaming typical of Korean hanbok tailoring, with the sleeves set into a straight shoulder line. The white silk appears to have a subtle sheen, suggesting a refined weave appropriate for formal occasions. This represents the hanbok's enduring influence on contemporary Korean fashion during the 1980s cultural revival period.
