Want to know some combinations of Hanfu?
Hanfu is a traditional costume that condenses the essence of national culture. Therefore, as it develops today, it has become a display of national spiritual culture. Therefore, wearing Hanfu must be particular, not to mention that the ancients advocated etiquette and rules. So, let’s take a look at the main things to pay attention to when wearing Hanfu:
1. Taboos about wearing Hanfu and being disheveled
It is said that "gentlemen are mostly well-dressed". Wearing Hanfu must be neat, elegant and decent. Ragged and wrinkled clothes will give people a shrunken image. Therefore, when wearing Hanfu, you must keep the overall Hanfu clothing clean and tidy, and the clothing must be free of stains and wrinkles.
2. Choose Hanfu that suits your body.
Choose Hanfu that suits your body. If you are petite, you may want to wear less chest-high clothing. If you are big and plump, you may want to wear Song Dynasty clothing. If you have a weak aura, you may want to wear Hanfu. Pay attention to the choice of explicit system.
3. How to dress
1. Put on the Hanfu and fold the collars. The right collar is at the top, the left collar is at the bottom, and the right collar presses the left collar so that the left and right collars form a cross shape; reach the waist and tie the belt at the lower corner of the right collar with the belt at the left waist side and tie it up; put it on. After Hanfu, there is no need to overlap the collars and directly tie the belts on the left and right collars together into a knot.
4. Choose Hanfu that suits the occasion.
Choose clothes that suit the occasion. Wearing dark clothes and being a backpacker is always a bit unconventional. Wearing brown half-arms in solemn occasions is too casual. .
5. Clothes edge (color) selection
Clothing edge (color) selection is an important symbol of Hanfu, which is generally classified by gender:
Men’s clothing Marriage is mainly a single color, usually the colors should be dignified and solid dark tones like brown, black, blue, and gray, and use less bright colors, floral colors, and light colors.
The edge of women's clothes can be decorated with various patterns such as embroidery, etc. If it is a single color, use more bright colors.
6. The matching of Hanfu must be reasonable
Hanfu is generally composed of multiple parts. If you wear it neatly and correctly, you will be more than half successful. As for the color matching and style, it is a matter of personal aesthetics, so I won’t go into details here. Dark trousers are allowed, but jeans and striped sweatpants are not allowed. In terms of shoes, it is recommended to wear cloth shoes when wearing Hanfu. Men's cloth shoes are generally black, and women can wear any cloth shoes except pure white.
7. The matching of men and women is also different
When women wear Hanfu, the choice of accessories is also based on the clothing style: a head full of pearls is suitable for dresses, and a fresh and elegant one is suitable for casual clothes.
Men should try not to wear a crown with a flat head. If you think it is not good without accessories, then add a Confucian scarf or other hats, which will also be very interesting
8. Hanfu hairstyle and makeup
It is best not to wear makeup when wearing a formal dress, and don’t wear too much makeup when wearing regular clothes. You should also keep your hair tidy at ordinary times, without eye wax or ear wax, and have an even complexion; men's beards should be trimmed regularly; women should wear light makeup; in terms of hairstyle, although it is not necessary to have your hair tied up like a costume drama, remember not to wear it all down, because It is very rude to wear Hanfu with your hair down.
