  • First time wearing Hanfu to a friend’s gathering—did you feel out of place?

    Posted by Austin on March 1, 2025 at 6:39 pm

    Okay, so I’m curious—anyone else have that experience wearing Hanfu for the first time to a friend’s gathering? I was honestly a little nervous, like, ‘Will I look super out of place?’ It felt weird at first, you know? How did you guys get past that awkwardness and just have fun? I’m guessing it gets easier the more you do it, right?

    Yeah, I totally get that! The first time I wore Hanfu to a friend’s gathering, I felt a bit awkward too. Everyone’s looking at you like, “Why is she dressed like this?” and you’re kind of wondering if you’re overdoing it. But honestly, I think it’s all about confidence. If you walk in like it’s totally normal, other people will follow your lead. And trust me, the more you wear it, the less weird it feels. It becomes part of who you are, and the people around you get used to it too. If you’re feeling a little out of place, just focus on enjoying the moment with your friends, and eventually, the awkwardness fades.

    Felt like a peacock at a pigeon party… till they begged to try it on. Now we have monthly Hanfu nights!
