Wearing Hanfu can seem complicated at first, but there are some basic steps you can follow to make it easier:
1. Start with the inner garments: Usually, there’s a basic undergarment like a long shirt or jacket. Put this on first before adding layers.
2. Add the main outfit: This could be a Ruqun or Shenyi, depending on your style. Ensure it’s aligned properly before moving on to the next steps.
3. Tie the sashes: After your main outfit is on, tie the sashes or belts at the waist. These help to hold the outfit together and define your shape.
4. Add outer layers: If your style involves outer robes, add them on top, making sure to adjust them so they sit comfortably.
5. Finish with accessories: Finally, add any accessories like hairpins, belts, or jewelry to complete the look.
Pay attention to details like the fit of each piece, the length of the sashes, and how the layers align. Once you practice a few times, the steps will feel more natural!
