The key is to choose a fit that’s snug enough to stay in place but still comfortable. Some styles have adjustable waistbands or inner ties that can help keep the garment secure. You can also wear a slightly simpler design to reduce the chances of things shifting. If your Hanfu is still slipping, try using discreet body tape or pins to keep things in place, especially for important events.

That’s a great question! When wearing Hanfu to a traditional cultural event, there are indeed some etiquettes to keep in mind, but don’t worry – it’s all about showing respect for the culture. Generally, you don’t need to be overly concerned about perfecting every gesture, but a few simple guidelines can help.
-
Sitting: When sitting in Hanfu, try to avoid crossing your legs. Instead, sit with your feet flat on the ground and your legs close together. If it’s a formal setting, it’s polite to sit upright.
-
Greeting: When greeting others, a slight bow or nod is often used, especially in more traditional settings. It’s a sign of respect, but again, it’s not something that has to be done perfectly.
-
Posture: Try to maintain a straight posture, with your shoulders back. Hanfu is designed to highlight elegance, so standing or walking with grace is appreciated.
If you’re unsure about specific gestures or movements, it’s always a good idea to observe how others are behaving at the event. But honestly, as long as you’re respectful and mindful of the occasion, people will appreciate the effort!

For formal occasions like banquets, you’ll want to choose a more elegant and subdued Hanfu style. Avoid extremely elaborate or bright designs, as they may come across as too attention-grabbing. Instead, go for classic, understated colors and fabrics that still show respect for the occasion. Some situations may not be suitable for Hanfu, such as very casual or modern events, where it might feel out of place.”

For festivals, red is a popular color, as it symbolizes good fortune and joy, especially during New Year celebrations. However, you could also choose gold, green, or other vibrant colors that are associated with luck and celebration. Traditional festival styles often feature elegant, festive designs, like floral patterns or embroidered motifs, which make the garment feel more festive.

For weddings, it’s important to keep the occasion in mind. Classic, deep colors like red, gold, or purple are considered very auspicious and appropriate. However, you can also wear lighter colors if they’re seen as lucky or festive. When in doubt, go for a more elegant and simple style, avoiding overly complicated or dark designs, as they might look too somber for a wedding.

For traditional Chinese cultural events, wearing Hanfu is a great way to honor the occasion. You can choose the style based on the formality of the event. For example, a more formal gathering might call for a grander Tang or Ming Dynasty style, while casual events may call for something simpler like a Song Dynasty Hanfu. Colors generally depend on the theme of the event—reds and golds are considered lucky and festive. Just make sure to do some research on the event and its customs to feel more confident.

It’s great that you want to wear Hanfu with respect! Wearing Hanfu as a non-Chinese person is generally fine, as long as you approach it with appreciation for its cultural value. It’s important to educate yourself about its history and wear it thoughtfully. Being open about your admiration for Hanfu and its cultural significance can also help show your respect. As long as you wear it with pride and avoid stereotypes, there’s no issue.

Hanfu’s color choices are often symbolic, and yes, darker colors like deep blues, reds, or purples are associated with formality and respect. Brighter colors are often linked to youth and celebration. When choosing a color for an event, consider the formality and tone of the occasion. For a formal event, darker tones are ideal, but for celebrations or more casual settings, brighter, lively colors work well.

For stains on delicate fabrics like silk, start by gently blotting the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove excess residue. You can also use a mild detergent mixed with water to spot clean the stain. If the stain persists, it’s best to take the Hanfu to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in delicate garments. Make sure to inform them about the specific fabric and embroidery to ensure proper care.
-
For delicate fabrics like silk, the best method is to hand wash with cold water and mild detergent, or even use a gentle fabric cleaner. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can cause damage. If you’re worried about fading, consider spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Dry cleaning is also a safe option for preserving the quality of the fabric. Always air-dry your Hanfu flat or hang it in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
-
For summer, go for lightweight and breathable materials like linen, cotton, or bamboo fabric. These materials allow your skin to breathe and help wick away sweat, so you won’t feel as hot as with silk. Linen and cotton are cooler options and are more comfortable for hot weather. Simple, minimalist designs also work well in summer, avoiding heavy layers and ensuring comfort.
-
If you live in a cold area, you can choose thicker fabrics like wool or cotton for your Hanfu. Layering is key—wearing warm base layers like sweaters, long-sleeve tees, or even a down jacket underneath your Hanfu can keep you warm without sacrificing style. You can also add a coat or cloak on top for extra protection from the cold, and this way, you can still wear Hanfu comfortably in winter.

Hey! Totally get what you mean – it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different options out there. For something high-quality but still wearable on a daily basis, I’d recommend looking into simpler styles like a “Ruqun” or “Zhichang” – they’re elegant but not too fancy, so you won’t feel over-dressed. You can also look for pieces made from cotton or linen, as they’re breathable and comfy.

For a party, look for more modernized Hanfu styles with simpler, lighter designs. There are contemporary versions of Hanfu that have less structure but still keep that traditional aesthetic. Look for pieces with less heavy fabric and maybe a more fitted style to make them feel more casual. You can also opt for Hanfu-style dresses or tunics that are comfortable, stylish, and less formal.

Hey, great question! It can definitely be tricky, especially if you’re new to Hanfu. For fabric, look for natural materials like silk, cotton, or linen. Authentic silk will feel soft and smooth, while fake silk tends to feel a bit stiffer or too shiny. Also, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true – real Hanfu made with quality materials often costs a little more. If you can, ask for fabric samples before committing to a full purchase!
