Hanfu while traveling—how do you keep it low-key?
Traveling in Hanfu is super fun, but I’ve had my moments where I just didn’t want to draw too much attention, you know? Have you ever had an embarrassing moment while traveling in Hanfu? If you want to keep it a bit low-key, do you just tone down the style, or do you do something else to avoid turning heads? Would love some tips for traveling in Hanfu without feeling too ‘extra’!

Traveling in Hanfu is super fun, but I totally get wanting to keep it low-key sometimes. There’s definitely been a moment or two where I was just not feeling like being the center of attention. If you’re trying to stay a bit under the radar, here are a few things you can try:
Simplify your style: Go for something less elaborate. For example, a simpler Song or Tang-style Hanfu with fewer layers or accessories can be way more chill. It still gives you that beautiful traditional vibe but isn’t too “extra.”
Choose subtle colors: Avoid super bright or bold colors. Go for more neutral tones like muted blues, soft greens, or earth tones, which will blend in more with everyday surroundings.
Layer with modern pieces: I sometimes pair my Hanfu top with regular pants or wear it with a jacket to make it feel less formal and more laid-back.
Comfort is key: Opt for something comfy—looser fabrics that allow you to move easily and aren’t too heavy. You’ll be walking around, so you want to be practical too!
If you don’t want to draw attention, it’s all about striking that balance between wearing something that feels traditional but not overly dramatic.

Cropped aoqun + jeans = stealth Hanfu. Or a beizi (overcoat) layered over a tee. Comfy and incognito.
