## Overview

Official dress kept a Chinese-style order, and fine ramie and silk textiles were used.

## Key garments and style

After the royal house intermarried with the Yuan, Mongol styles entered court dress and hairstyles — while Goryeo styles were in turn favoured at the Yuan court as "Goryeo style." The women's jeogori began to shorten and its sash to be tied higher.

## Transition

With the rise of Joseon, this trend crystallised, under a Confucian order, into the classic hanbok.
