Sam Bok (삼복) represents the foundational tripartite system of Korean traditional attire, embodying Confucian principles of balance through its three essential components: Jeogori (jacket), Baji (trousers), and Po (overcoat). Originating during the Goryeo Dynasty, this system evolved into Joseon-era court dress, where each element carried distinct social and seasonal significance.
Silk or ramie jackets with git (collar trim) and goreum (ribbons) color-coded by gender (blue=male, red=female)
Wide-legged trousers with waist ties, historically stuffed with cotton for winter insulation
Woven hemp or silk over-robes indicating status through sleeve width and embroidery patterns
Cherry blossom-patterned ramie with pastel goreum
Quilted myeonbok robes with otgoreum (thickened ribbons)
Dragon-embroidered gongbok for officials
Contemporary designers like Jin Teok reinterpret Sam Bok through deconstructed silhouettes and sustainable fabrics. When wearing authentic pieces, note:
Always tie baji left-over-right
Match po length to occasion (ankle=formal, knee=casual)
Preserve silk pieces with mugwort sachets
This trinity of garments remains central to celebrations like Chuseok and Doljanchi, reflecting Korea's sartorial wisdom in balancing aesthetics with practicality.
