Yeah, Hanfu can seem a bit intimidating at first, especially when you see all the layers and accessories! But honestly, the key is practice. Here’s the basic breakdown:
· Waist belt: This is often worn to tie the robes around your waist and hold everything in place. For most styles, it’s pretty easy to adjust, just make sure it’s not too tight to maintain a comfortable fit.
· Shoulder drapes (e.g., ru or pifeng): These are draped across your shoulders, and the trick is to ensure they don’t fall off while you’re moving. A simple trick is using a few bobby pins or securing them with the waist belt.
For beginners, try a simpler style first, like the ruqun, which doesn’t have too many complicated accessories.
