Jikryeong (), sometimes written as jikryung or jingnyeong and also known as jikryeongpo (), is a type of
po with a straight neckline.
It could be worn as an outwear by men and was sometimes worn under the
danryeong.
The jikryeong was worn in ordinary times
and was worn all year round.
It was also worn as a mourning attire
during the Joseon period.
Following the
Japanese invasion (1592–1598), its usage as an outerwear decreased and was more often used as an undergarment.
After the latter half of the 17th century, the jikryeong was turned into an inner
lining

* Lining (sewing), the process of inserting an inner layer of fabric, fur, or other material
* Lining of paintings, the process of restoration paintings by attaching a new canvas to the back of the existing one

for the danryeong, thus turning to a single lined garment.

The collar of the jikryeong as its name indicate is straight collar, closing to the right side.
It may also come with rectangular side panels (무, moo) on each side of the robe.
Textile and colour
The jikryeong could be unlined, lined, and padded.
