  • Do I Always Need Hanfu for Traditional Chinese Events?

    Posted by EmberTide on February 26, 2025 at 11:57 am

    If I’m attending a traditional Chinese cultural event, should I wear Hanfu? Are there any specific guidelines, like which dynasty’s style to choose or what colors to wear? I feel like I might get it wrong, and I don’t want to look out of place. Any advice on the cultural etiquette of wearing Hanfu to these events?

    For traditional Chinese cultural events, wearing Hanfu is a great way to honor the occasion. You can choose the style based on the formality of the event. For example, a more formal gathering might call for a grander Tang or Ming Dynasty style, while casual events may call for something simpler like a Song Dynasty Hanfu. Colors generally depend on the theme of the event—reds and golds are considered lucky and festive. Just make sure to do some research on the event and its customs to feel more confident.
