Wearing Hanfu is beautiful, but there are definitely some occasions where it might not be the best choice. Here’s a quick rundown:

Work and business meetings: Unless your work environment is pretty relaxed or culturally inclusive, Hanfu isn’t ideal for the office. For meetings or formal events, a modern suit or professional attire is usually a better fit.

Non-Hanfu themed weddings: While Hanfu can be stunning for weddings, if the event isn’t Hanfu-themed, wearing it could feel out of place. Always check with the couple beforehand if you’re unsure.

Casual outings: For a trip to the mall or a casual hangout with friends, Hanfu might be too formal unless you’re in a very cultural area. For these types of events, you might want to go with something simpler, or save your Hanfu for special outings.

In these situations, you can still wear Hanfu but maybe tone it down. You could choose simpler styles or fabrics that feel more relaxed. Pairing your Hanfu with modern accessories, like sneakers or a casual bag, can also make it look less formal and more practical for everyday use.
