  • Hanfu tips for slim people—how to add volume?

    Posted by clvmprofesora on March 2, 2025 at 12:21 pm

    I’m pretty slim, and sometimes Hanfu just makes me look even thinner than I already am. Are there any tips or styles that can add a little more volume or shape? I want to look fuller in a flattering way, but I’m not sure what to wear so it doesn’t look like I’m wearing a sheet!

    Being on the slimmer side can sometimes make Hanfu feel a bit flat, right? But there are definitely ways to add some volume and shape! One easy trick is to layer up, but keep the layers light so they don’t weigh you down. A jacket or a thin vest over your Hanfu will give you a little more depth. Try a fuller, pleated skirt or even a dress with some ruffles or embroidery—this will add texture and shape without making you look too bulky. Fabrics like brocade or thicker cotton can also add more body to your look, so go for those if you want a bit more volume. Just avoid fabrics that are too light and flat, because they might make you look even thinner. With these simple tips, you’ll definitely be able to add some nice volume to your Hanfu without going overboard!

    Layer it up—Pifeng over Ruqun adds bulk. Wide sleeves and a thick sash help too!

    Tang-style Daxiushan—those sleeves puff you out. Bright patterns trick the eye!
