- Discomfort from tightness or awkward fit: The first time you wear Hanfu, you might notice the waist tie or the robes feeling a bit strange. Sometimes it’s not tight enough, and other times, it feels too tight! You definitely don’t want to feel restricted, but you also don’t want the robes to keep sliding down. It’s all about finding that sweet spot – snug enough to stay in place but still comfortable to move around. To make sure you’re getting the fit right, it’s helpful to watch a couple of YouTube tutorials or guides. They’ll give you a good idea of how to tie everything properly so you’re comfortable all day.
- Sleeves dragging on the floor: Hanfu’s sleeves are one of its most beautiful features, but they can also be a bit tricky to handle! If you’re not careful, they might end up dragging on the floor or getting caught on things. You don’t want to trip over them, so a quick trick is to tie them at the wrist loosely or fold them neatly inside the robe. You could also try holding them up when walking to avoid stepping on them. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll start enjoying the elegance of the sleeves without worrying about them getting in the way.
- Not sure if you’re wearing it correctly: Wearing Hanfu for the first time can feel a bit like getting into an unfamiliar outfit. It’s easy to feel like you’re doing it wrong, especially since there’s a certain order to the layers. Don’t stress! Hanfu may look complex, but once you get used to it, you’ll see it’s just about putting on the right pieces in the right order. Inner robes first, outer layers after, and then tie everything just right. Once you’ve done it a couple of times, you’ll feel way more confident about how it looks on you!
