Keeping your Hanfu neat doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are a few tips:
· Secure the belt properly: The belt is key to holding the Hanfu in place. Make sure it’s tied firmly but not too tight. It should sit comfortably around your waist and keep everything from shifting.
· Smooth out wrinkles: If you notice any wrinkles, try steaming the fabric to get rid of them. Wrinkles can make the Hanfu look less polished. I find that hanging the garment on a hanger for a few hours before wearing it can also help with this.
· Align the layers: Sometimes the layers can shift, so make sure everything is in place. A quick check in the mirror will help you spot any misalignments. Make sure the front and back parts of the Hanfu are aligned evenly, and that the sleeves aren’t twisted.
· Use a robe belt or clips: Some people use extra clips or ribbons inside to keep the inner layers of the Hanfu in place, preventing them from shifting throughout the day.
