Not all Hanfu sleeves are exaggeratedly long, but many styles feature longer sleeves that reflect the elegance and flowing beauty of ancient Chinese fashion. Long sleeves symbolize gracefulness and modesty. However, they can be a bit impractical, especially if you’re walking or doing daily tasks. To avoid tripping over them, you can use a tie or bracelet around the sleeve to hold them up, or simply be mindful of how you move. Long sleeves can add to the overall look of Hanfu, but they do require a little more care to wear.
