Dealing with stares in Hanfu—how do you react?
Okay, so wearing Hanfu definitely gets some attention, right? Whether it’s curious stares or people asking questions, it’s hard not to notice. How do you handle all those eyes on you? Do you just ignore it and keep walking, or do you smile and wave? I’d love to know how everyone else deals with the stares and comments!

Let’s be real, wearing Hanfu definitely gets you some attention—whether it’s people staring or asking questions. It can be awkward at first, but honestly, the more you get used to it, the easier it gets. Here’s how I handle it:
Confidence is key: If you walk with confidence, it’ll make a huge difference. People tend to be less curious when you seem comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing.
Smile and be friendly: If someone looks at you curiously or asks questions, just smile and engage! Most of the time, people are just curious about your outfit and don’t mean any harm. Sometimes they want to know about Hanfu or take a photo.
Don’t let rude comments bother you: If someone gives you a weird stare or says something rude, ignore it! You’re wearing Hanfu for you, not for them.
Keep walking: If you’re in a place where there are a lot of eyes on you and you’re feeling uncomfortable, just keep walking with a relaxed posture. Most people won’t stare for long.
Staring can be uncomfortable, but it’s all part of the process. Embrace the curiosity with a friendly attitude, and soon enough, it’ll feel totally normal.

Smile and wave, babes. If someone asks, say ‘It’s traditional Chinese clothing!’ Most folks just think you’re a cool anime character.

Own it! Stares = free compliments. Once a kid yelled ‘Mulan!’ and I just bowed. Confidence is your best accessory.
