  • How should I choose and pair inner garments with Hanfu?

    Posted by RadiantEcho on February 26, 2025 at 3:06 pm

    When I wear Hanfu, I often struggle with choosing the right innerwear. Do you have any recommendations on how to layer it correctly, like with skirts or undergarments?

    Great question! The right undergarments are crucial for a comfortable and authentic look.

    · Skirt/Bottom: When you’re wearing a Hanfu skirt (qun), it’s usually worn with a simple slip or petticoat underneath to give it some volume and shape.

    · Upper Layer: For tops, you may want a simple wrap or undergarment to provide modesty and comfort. If you’re wearing something like a ruqun (a two-piece Hanfu), the top will usually come with built-in coverage.
    The most important thing is that the undergarments shouldn’t be visible when you’re in motion!

    For beginners, go with a neutral Zhongyi (underrobe) in white or light colors. It’s versatile and works with almost any Hanfu style

    Inner garments should be lightweight and breathable. Silk or cotton blends are great for everyday wear
