Best Hanfu for Everyday Wear?
Posted by CloudySkies on February 26, 2025 at 11:36 amI’m looking to buy a Hanfu, but there are so many styles and types that I’m not sure where to start. I’m especially interested in Hanfu that’s high-quality but also practical enough for everyday wear. Does anyone have any recommendations for styles that are comfortable and versatile for daily use? I’d love some suggestions!

Hey! Totally get what you mean – it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different options out there. For something high-quality but still wearable on a daily basis, I’d recommend looking into simpler styles like a “Ruqun” or “Zhichang” – they’re elegant but not too fancy, so you won’t feel over-dressed. You can also look for pieces made from cotton or linen, as they’re breathable and comfy.

Song dynasty beizi (jacket) + slim pants. Feels like a chic cardigan but with ✨ancient scholar✨ energy. Throw it over a graphic tee + sneakers. No tripping on skirts between classes.

Ming mamianqun (horse-face skirt) in black or navy. Pair with a tucked-in turtleneck + ankle boots. Structured enough for the office, zero folds to fix. Looks like a fancy pencil skirt – sneaky trad vibes.

Tang shan (cropped top) + high-waisted linen pants. Breastfeeding-friendly? Check. Kid spills wipe off? Check. Add a crossbody bag + sandals. Stroller-ready Hanfu hack: tie sleeves into knots to avoid snack-hand grabbers.

Ku (wide-leg Hanfu pants) + sports bra. Throw on a sheer pi (overcoat) for ‘did she just do yoga or time-travel?’ vibes. Breathable, hides sweat, and pockets (!!) for your keys.

Zhiduo (loose robe) in earthy linen. Belt it with a woven scarf + layer over jeans. Roll sleeves for café sketching. Bonus: hides pajama pants. #CasualHermitCore

Dudou (vest) as a crop top + high-waisted jeans. Subtle floral embroidery = ‘is that Hanfu or Urban Outfitters?’ Pair with hoop earrings. Hanfu lite for the win
