Okay, hair accessories can be tricky! If you’re new to wearing Hanfu, the first thing you should know is that less is more. You don’t want to be wearing a crown of flowers or giant pins if your Hanfu already has lots of details. A simple hairpin or even a soft silk ribbon can elevate your look without making it look too busy.

But if you’re going for something a bit more formal or the Hanfu is more minimalistic, then you can add a bit more. Think delicate flower pins or something with some subtle embroidery, but not too flashy. The idea is to add just a little touch of elegance, not to distract from the beauty of the whole outfit. Hair accessories should be like the cherry on top—not the whole sundae.
