When choosing a Hanfu, it’s important to consider both your body type and your personal style. Here’s what to look out for:
· Body shape: For example, if you have a petite frame, you might want to avoid styles with too much fabric around the waist. A simple Ruqun or a slim-fitting Shenyi could be great options. For taller or more curvy shapes, flowing robes or Tang styles can help add some balance and structure.
· Color and fabric: Darker colors like navy or black can be slimming, while lighter tones give a more airy and relaxed look. Fabrics like silk or satin can create smooth, flowing lines.
· Style and occasion: Think about where you’ll be wearing the Hanfu. For casual outings, go for simpler styles. For formal events, a more elaborate design with embroidery and layers would be perfect. By considering your body shape and style preferences, you can pick a Hanfu that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
