Reply to When shouldn't you wear Hanfu?
Personally, I feel that in extremely formal Western business environments (such as investment banking or legal consulting) or settings that strictly require Business Formal attire (suits and skirt suits), Hanfu may be viewed as “eccentric clothing” or a cultural display rather than professional wear, which could easily distract attention…

Do you ever get tired of people asking “is that a costume?”
View more comments-
At first yes, now I just smile and say “It’s traditional Chinese clothing — hanfu.” Most people are curious, not rude.

I usually reply “Yeah kinda, but the cool historical kind” — keeps it light and opens the door for nice conversations.

What’s a good “upgrade” hanfu after your first basic set?
View more comments-
A proper Tang ruqun with good drape. Once you have the basics down, Tang feels like the next level — more dramatic but still wearable.
-
A beizi + pleated skirt combo (Song style). Very versatile: you can mix with modern pieces easily.

How do you store hanfu if you have very limited closet space?
View more comments-
Vacuum compression bags + hanging the top separately. Compress the skirts, hang the tops on slim velvet hangers. Saves insane space.

I use those hanging closet organizers with multiple shelves. Fold skirts loosely, stack them flat — no creases.

Which dynasty style is the most forgiving for different body types?
View more comments-
Song dynasty hands down. High waist + loose fit + vertical pleats = very flattering on almost every body shape.

Tang style can be great if you like curves, but the very open neckline and big sleeves can be unforgiving if you’re self-conscious about shoulders/arms.
