Goryeo (918–1392) and Joseon (1392–1910) were the two major unified dynasties that shaped traditional Korean culture. This side-by-side comparison from the television production The King's Affection highlights the stark evolutionary changes in royal and noble attire (hanbok) between the two eras.
The primary differences in their clothing styles stem from shifting cultural values and foreign geopolitical influences:
Women's Royal Clothing
- Goryeo Dynasty (Left): The chima (skirt) is tied high and falls in a loose, flowing, natural A-line silhouette. The jeogori (jacket) is loose, baggy, and much longer, extending well below the waistline. The style reflects a mix of indigenous designs with historical Tang Dynasty and subsequent Mongol influences.
- Joseon Dynasty (Right): Following strict Confucian ideals of modesty and gender distinction, the jeogori became significantly shorter and tightly fitted to the upper body. Conversely, the chima adopted fuller, bell-shaped volume, requiring an under-bust waistband to anchor the shortened jacket.
Men's Royal and Official Attire
- Goryeo Dynasty (Left): The robes often feature wide, flowing sleeves and elaborate rounded collars, reflecting the era's focus on aristocratic luxury. The ikseongwan (royal crown) and hair accessories emphasize an open, ornate design.
- Joseon Dynasty (Right): Outfits became more structured to delineate explicit bureaucratic rank and class. While inner robes retained functionality, the formal outerwear (po) grew more streamlined, characterized by straight lines and clean proportions designed to display specific rank badges (gyorung).
