Reply To: Do different dynasties matter when choosing Hanfu?

[E Celeste]

ABSOLUTELY. Dynasty vibes are everything if you care about historical accuracy. Tang dynasty? Think bold colors, wide sleeves, and that iconic high-waisted ruqun – total boss energy. Ming styles? More structured, with those gorgeous horse-face skirts (mamianqun) and intricate embroidery. Mixing dynasties is like wearing sneakers with a Victorian ballgown – you do you, but purists might side-eye you. If you’re gonna nerd out, research the deets (fabrics, patterns, accessories) or join niche Discord groups. No shame in geeking over 13th-century collar styles!
