  • What etiquette should I follow at Hanfu events to avoid mistakes?

    Posted by Josephine A. Colon on March 1, 2025 at 4:28 pm

    I really want to respect the culture when I attend a Hanfu event, so what kind of etiquette should I keep in mind? Are there any dos and don’ts I should be aware of to avoid making any mistakes or accidentally offending anyone? I want to make sure I’m participating in the right way.

    The key to etiquette at Hanfu events is about showing respect for the tradition and the people around you.

    · Posture and Movement: Like I mentioned earlier, standing tall and moving slowly is part of how you show respect when wearing Hanfu.

    · Greetings: A respectful bow or nod is always a good way to greet someone.

    · Handling Your Outfit: Be careful not to drag or tug at your sleeves, and make sure your Hanfu is neat and tidy.

    Talking: Keep conversations polite and calm. Loud talking or too much distraction can disrupt the peaceful vibe that Hanfu events often aim to create.

    Right-over-left collar—don’t flip it. Compliment, don’t critique, and ask before snapping pics of folks!

    I just keep it low-key—don’t step on robes, say “nice outfit” if I vibe with someone. Seems safe!
