Yes, Hanfu designs did change quite a bit across dynasties! Tang Dynasty Hanfu was much more extravagant and luxurious, with flowing lines and bold colors, making it perfect for formal occasions. On the other hand, Song Dynasty Hanfu was more simple and elegant, with clean lines and softer colors, making it ideal for everyday wear. When choosing a style, you can base it on the occasion—formal events are great for more elaborate Tang styles, while casual settings suit the more understated Song designs.
