  • Special moments wearing Hanfu outside—people asking or taking pics?

    Wearing Hanfu out in public—does anyone else get asked about it all the time? Like, people just can’t resist asking what you’re wearing or pulling out their phone to snap a picture. The first time it happened to me, I was so flustered, haha! Anyone had those kinds of funny moments? What do you usually say when strangers stop you for a pic or question your outfit?

    Oh, absolutely! Wearing Hanfu outside is like an instant magnet for attention. It’s common for strangers to ask, “What is that?” or even take pictures of you. The first time it happened, I was so shy, but over time, I’ve come to embrace it. It’s kind of fun to see how amazed people are, especially if you’re in a busy area or at a park. I usually smile and say, “It’s called Hanfu, a traditional Chinese outfit!” If they ask to take a picture, I just say, “Sure, why not?” It’s a nice way to share the culture, and the curiosity is usually pretty friendly.
