Top 7 Most Prettiest Hanbok To Wear For The Cherry Blossom Season

The Cherry Blossom season in Korea is starting... but a bit later than planned. Most of the festivals in Seoul were held last week... but without flowers. This week, however, the capital city is covered with flowers.

This time of the year calls for picnics at Han River and pictures with the flowers. Wearing hanbok or a variation of them to take pictures is popular all year long among Koreans and tourists, particularly in spring and fall. These are the best seasons for the outfit--not too hot or too cold.

Blooming flowers and hanbok go together perfectly! Let us explain. When you rent or buy a hanbok, you can match its colors with the beautiful flowers or choose some that pair nicely with the aesthetic of spring.

Here are the 7 prettiest hanbok we recommend for the blooming season. With these colors and designs, your pictures will be the best.

Note: Jeogori is the jacket of the hanbok with the ribbon (goreum). Chima is the skirt. 

 

1. Light pink jeogori with pink/white chima, ft. lace parasol

What is the best way to match the cherry blossoms? Probably by using the same hues as them, right? Light pink and white. Hanbok with these colors look delicate and elegant. If you can pair it with a white lace parasol you will have the perfect outfit!

6. Purple jeogori and pink chima

What about opting for a dark pink or purple for your jeogori and a longer length? You'll be in the same neighborhood of colors but pop in photos at the same time. Vivid colors usually look better with any makeup and hair color, too. It's a great choice to look gorgeous among the flowers.
