  • Do I need a full headpiece for a Hanfu event? Can I skip it?

    Posted by Chris on March 1, 2025 at 4:26 pm

    So, I’m kind of new to Hanfu events, and I’ve been wondering, is it a must to wear a full headpiece when I go, or can I skip it if I want to keep things simple? I love the idea of Hanfu, but sometimes I just don’t feel like going all out with the headpiece, especially if I’m not 100% sure how to style it. Would it be okay to just leave it out, or will I feel like I’m doing it all wrong?

    Honestly, no, you don’t have to wear a full headpiece if you don’t want to. If you’re just starting out or want something simpler, skipping the headpiece is totally fine! Many Hanfu events are pretty relaxed about the accessories, especially for beginners or more casual events. Of course, the headpiece is part of the traditional look, but you can still enjoy the event and fit in with a more minimal style. The key is just feeling comfortable and not stressing over every little detail. Everyone is there to appreciate the culture, not to judge your outfit.

    Nah, skip it—simple hair’s fine unless it’s a contest. A clip or ribbon’s enough!

    I never wear ‘em—too much hassle. No one cares if you’re comfy!

    Fancy events might expect it, but casual? Ditch the headpiece, loose hair works!
