It honestly depends on how I’m feeling that day! Most of the time, I’ll start with the Hanfu because it sets the whole vibe for what I’m going for. Once I pick out the Hanfu, I get a sense of what kind of accessories would go well with it. For example, if I’ve chosen something really vibrant or detailed, I’ll tone down the accessories a bit so they don’t compete with the outfit.
But sometimes, if I’m super excited about a specific accessory, like a unique belt or an amazing hairpin, I’ll pick that first and then build my Hanfu around it. I think the accessories should feel like they fit with the overall vibe, not the other way around. Either way, you’ll end up with something that feels balanced and looks great. There’s no hard rule, it’s all about what mood you’re in that day!
