  • How do you pick Hanfu accessories without overdoing it?

    Posted by Laura Hope on March 2, 2025 at 12:11 pm

    So, I love how elegant Hanfu looks, but accessories can be tricky. Sometimes I see people with just the right amount, and they look stunning, but other times, I feel like there’s just too much going on. I don’t want my outfit to look plain, but I also don’t want to be drowning in accessories. How do you figure out that perfect balance? Are there any rules for what works best with different Hanfu styles? Would love to hear what others do!

    When it comes to picking accessories for your Hanfu, it’s all about balance. You don’t want your outfit to look like it’s trying too hard, you know? Here are a few tips to keep things looking stylish without going overboard:

    Go for simplicity
    If your Hanfu has a lot going on with its design, it’s better to go for more minimal accessories. A small, simple hairpin or a pair of small earrings can add a nice touch without drawing too much attention away from your outfit.

    Pick one statement piece
    Don’t overdo it with too many accessories. Choose one standout piece like an embroidered belt or a beautiful hairpin, and let that be the star of the show. Everything else should be kept simple, so the accessories complement the Hanfu, not compete with it.

    Match with your Hanfu’s color scheme
    If your Hanfu is super vibrant, try to pick accessories that are a bit more neutral. If the outfit is more subtle, you can get a little bolder with the accessories—think metallic hairpins or a vibrant necklace, just to make the outfit pop.

    It’s all about finding that sweet spot where your accessories enhance your Hanfu, not overpower it!

    Match one color—like red tassels with red trim. Two pieces max, keeps it chill!

    I just grab a hairpin—nothing crazy. Feels enough without stress!
