Baji (clothing)
Traditional Korean trousers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baji (Korean: 바지[1]) is a kind of traditional Korean pant that is part of the hanbok.[2][3]
It is the term for "trousers" in Korean. It functions as modern trousers do and the term baji is commonly used in Korea to refer to every kind of pants.
A baji is baggy and loose, so it is tied around the waist.[2] The roomy design is aimed at making the clothing ideal for sitting on the floor and an ethnic style that dates back to the Three Kingdoms period.[4]
In the past, Korean men wore baji as outer clothing, but for women, it gradually became part of the inner clothing.[2] Today, women wear chima for their outer clothes.[2]
