  • How can I choose a Hanfu that suits my body shape?

    Posted by cherie sheldon on March 1, 2025 at 12:48 pm

    I really want to buy my first Hanfu set, but I’m struggling with how to choose one that actually suits me. I’ve seen so many different types, and I have no idea what would look good on my body type or match my personal style. Are there any guidelines or recommendations for picking a Hanfu set that complements different body shapes and face structures?

    Choosing a Hanfu that suits your body shape is all about finding the right proportions. Here’s how to do it:

    · For short or petite frames: Look for Hanfu that doesn’t have too much fabric around the waist. A simple Ruqun style with a high-waisted skirt or a slim-fitting Shenyi is perfect.

    · For tall or plus-sized frames: You can opt for looser styles with flowing robes like the Tang style or a long Shenyi that adds some length to your figure.

    · For curvier shapes: Try styles that have a more defined waist or use a belt to help accentuate your shape. The Song dynasty Hanfu, with its clean lines, can be a great choice.

    · Consider color and fabric: Dark colors like navy or deep red can be more slimming, while lighter colors may give a more airy look. Fabrics like silk and satin can also help create smooth lines.

    By understanding these small differences, you can choose a Hanfu that flatters your body shape and makes you feel confident!
