What Should Foreigners Know About Joining Hanfu Events?
I’m also curious about international Hanfu events. I’ve heard that some foreigners also wear Hanfu and participate in these events. Are there specific things foreigners should be aware of when joining these activities? Do they need to consider any differences in etiquette or cultural details when wearing Hanfu? Are there any special tips for foreigners to blend in or feel more comfortable at these events?

If you’re joining Hanfu events outside of China, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Respect Cultural Significance: Hanfu carries a lot of cultural weight, so always be respectful of its origins and the traditions associated with it. Understanding the background of the clothing and its cultural importance will help you fit into the community better.
Dress Appropriately: Whether you’re attending a parade or a meetup, wearing a well-put-together Hanfu outfit that is culturally respectful will make you feel more confident and engaged in the event.
Learn the Local Etiquette: Different places may have different expectations for behavior, so it’s helpful to observe the local etiquette at Hanfu events. For example, some events may involve specific customs or ceremonies that you should be aware of.

You’re good to join—everyone’s chill if you’re respectful! Learn basics like right-over-left collar, and don’t treat it like a costume—vibe with the culture.

No stress, foreigners are welcome! Brush up on simple etiquette—like not stepping on robes—and ask folks there for tips. They love sharing!

Know it’s deep—hanfu’s history, not just fashion. Start with a simple Ruqun, chat with locals, and don’t sweat the stares—you’re part of the fun!

I was nervous too, but it’s cool—just wear it right and smile. Maybe watch a “how to wear hanfu” vid first so you don’t feel lost!
