Out of Curiosity, are You Guys Gonna Wear Hanfu for Halloween?

Can’t believe it’s already the middle of October… how many of you will be dressing up in fancy hanfu for Halloween? If you are, what outfit do you have planned? Tbh I’m a bit self-conscious about going out in regular hanfu, so Halloween is the perfect excuse for me to go all out haha.

• Merriel · Haha! Nice survey. In France, if you have a Halloween party, costumes are limited to halloween themed costumes, unlike in the US where you can just dress as anything. So, no Hanfu for me. :p Unless it’s a Chinese ghost ^^
• Xivvy · OMG a Chinese ghost… genius idea and now I kinda wanna do that some year!! Paint on some spooky ghost makeup and a pale white hanfu set… long loose hair and maybe chains… 👀
• Merriel · I think chains are an European reference for ghosts… but then again, your Chinese ghost could have died wearing chains ^^
• Natsu · Yep! im going in a wei wuxian inspired hanfu!
• Xivvy · oooh WWX!! 😍😍😍
• Merriel · great idea! you coul be the ghost-shepherd! ^^
• xaranoon · I wore one of my dark blue hanfu’s to go with my Jiang Shi makeup even though its totally diff time periods of clothing. it ended up looking like an etheral vampire instead 😍
• Xivvy · Omg nice I bet you got tons of compliments on that!!

An Accessory I Rarely See in Hanfu Photoshoots – a Traditional Chinese Kite 💕

Plus, matching colours! I think the kite is a magpie or sparrow?

Comments

• Merriel · I think it’s supposed to be a swallow, with the forked tail 😉
• Xivvy · ohh yes I was 👀 at the distinctive tail shape!

Ming Hanfu

Comments

• ivoci · Waa😍
• Natsu · they look so nice!!!

Southern Song Hanfu!!

I feel like Song is one of the less common dynasty styles of hanfu (or maybe just trickier to identify unlike the super distinctive Ming/Tang/Han styles? I only know this is southern Song bc it was in the post title I saw lmao)

Comments

• lllen · Probably because nowadays modern Song style is more popular
• ivoci · 😍😍😍
• Alys · I really like Song dynasty!😍

Ming Hanfu~

Qing Dynasty Meets Victorian England

Both circa 1800s! (I think it’s Victorian, at least? Correct me if I’m wrong haha)

Comments

• ivoci · 😍😍😍
• Raquel · amazing picture
• 陈 · Mm, the white dress is a nod to Edwardian (1900-1910) lingerie dress (different meaning back then), but the neckline should be very high. The poofy upper sleeve is to 1890s, and the small hat is considerably so as well. Needs more laces tho ✨
• Xivvy · Ohh thank you!! It’s such a pretty white dress, even if it’s a bit of a style mishmash haha
• 陈 · Haha true indeed! 🤣
• Clubwinged · Interesing idea!

• Xivvy · Ohhh that’s a good idea… but this pic is just from someone’s photoshoot and not a store photo so idk if it would work 😫

Green and Red Hanfu with an Amazingly Intricate Headdress

So beautiful aaaaahh

Comments

• ivoci · Zhao Liying😍😍😍
• Natsu · woah! that crown is awesome!

Orange-Coloured Hanfu is Pretty Too-

I feel like usually hanfu is white/red/blue/black/green/yellow… makes sense since those are like the colours of the 五行 five phases… but orange is also super pretty!!

Comments

• Natsu · it is nice and bright! i am obsessed with walking outside in orange or yellow clothes after rain
• ivoci · Love the colour😍
• Clubwinged · It is!
• XiaoLingKai · It look so nice!

Animal Photoshoots!

This almost feels like a Chinese version of the cottagecore aesthetic haha, very natural and simplistic and carefree vibes 🙂

Comments

• ivoci · Aesthetic😍
• Natsu · woah!
• Merriel · Technically, I think cottagecore doesn’t have any cultural limitations 😉 Liziqi was said to be cottagecore. I love the deer scene ^^
• Xivvy · haha true! Cottagecore for everyone 😀

Ink-Wash Brush Painting Style!

This amazing art by 盐慢慢Young on Weibo! This style is so pretty tbh, I kinda wanna watch a whole donghua or read a manhua in this art style… if anyone has any recs 👀

Comments

• ivoci · Waa pretty😍😍
• Merriel · I love that style!
• Clubwinged · I wonder how it was made…
• Carottie · ❤️
• Merriel · Well it would be amazing if it was done traditionally, but I think it is digital painting. The watercolor effects are pretty reallistic so I might be wrong. But I still think some brush strokes look digital. LIke the perfect circle of the fan, or the white lens flare effects 😉

I Think This Might be My Favourite Modern Hanfu Design 😩

The matches-anything simplicity of the skirt, the classic deep green, the subtle square collar Ming style of the shirt and jacket, with the little embroidered detailing… 💚💚‼️ (Would buy if I wasn’t broke lol)

Does Anyone Else Ever Stare at Themselves in the Mirror When Wearing a Bathrobe and Pretend It’s Hanfu Lol

Every time after a shower… you know, cause of the crossed collar and plus bathrobes are always so oversized… please tell me I’m not alone lol 😅😭

Comments

• Carottie · I learnt to cross the collar left over right because of hanfu (before it was somehow natural to cross it right over left).😂
• Merriel · That’s how it started. Then you realise bathrobes are always too thick 😆.
• Xivvy · LOL that’s great 😆
• Xivvy · Unfortunately true hahaha
• XiaoLingKai · 😂 I always look at myself when wearing a bathrobe in front of the mirror
• lllen · AHHHHH, I used to take the blanket as hanfu😂
• Xivvy · LMAO a blanket!!!

Violet Hanfu and Sweeping Fan

The photography is great in this one, it reminds me of a flower somehow!

My First Ever Sets of Hanfu 😀

Hi everyone! I got into hanfu way back in summer, but only recently did I make the leap to purchase some sets from Taobao! One is a pretty ruqun black and purple set, and the other is a cozy wintery Ming-style with a gold-embroidered mamianqun ❤️

Sadly I caught COVID just around the holidays, but it’s easing up already—hopefully next year I’ll be able to do some outdoors winter photoshoots with my friends! #2023

Happy holidays everyone and wishing y’all a great New Year!! 新年快乐！！❤️🎊🧨❄️

Comments

• Misty · I’m also caught covid which is such an unfriendly disease and so uncomfortable. But, anyway, happy new year.
• sskessa · Those both look so cool on you! Hope you feel completely better soon.
• lllen · the second one is very cute
• Xivvy · Thank you! 🙂
• Xivvy · Thank you!! Lots of soup and sleep these days lol
• Xivvy · Aw, sorry to hear that :/ but yes, happy new year!
• Natsu · ive gotten into hanfu during Spring and i still havent bought any hanfu yet, just because there are waaay too many choices XD i really like the ruqun!
• Xivvy · YEAH there are so many styles… it’s good you’re not impulse buying hahaha, and thank you!!
• XiaoLingKai · I really love the black one!!! ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
• XiaoLingKai · Get well Soon!
• ivoci · Get well soon, and happy new year😊

Intricate Red Opera (?) Style Hanfu

Not sure the exact type of hanfu this is—it seems to be partly fantasy too. But SO pretty 🥹❤️

Comment

• Natsu · so pretty!

Fox Demon in Guise of a Scholar – Character from the Show 中国奇谭 (Yao-Chinese Folktales)

It’s a 15-min standalone animated short, and I loved the design of this fox scholar! The short has really amazing creepy enigmatic folklore vibes, and it’s an adaptation of an actual short story from around the 6th century!

Also, you can watch it here for free (has English subs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNyVHBV__Q

Comments

• Raquel · 👍
• Elizabeth · 100% similar!
• lllen · the makeup is awesome😍
• Natsu · nice!
• Merriel · Oh yeah! it’s the lames of the 3 fox demons ^^ (literally, he misses a leg) I thought it looked familiar! Wasn’t it 天书奇谭, though?
• Xivvy · Haha good eye, this character is based on the fox demon in 天书奇谭! So that’s why they’re similar lol
• Merriel · I loved that cartoon, it was so elaborate for a cartoon of that time!

This Robe’s Design is Stunning Imo

I think it’s a formal ceremonial robe for the emperor? Three Kingdoms period

Comments

• Darren · The crown and patterns on costumes are close to history.
• Merriel · From what the caption says, he’s the last Han emperor before the Three Kingdom period. Han dynasty favored red and black for royalty, so colors are pretty acurate, and the headdress is typical for emperors.
• Xivvy · Oooh thanks for the historical details!

Girls in Male Hanfu Being Badass 😌

Little photo dump of recent pics I found and saved from Weibo~

Comments

• XiaoLingKai · Love the first one and the General one!!! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
• XiaoLingKai · They should do it more often since it’s nice seeing girls wearing boys hanfu
• Xivvy · Yeah!! Crossdressing is historically accurate too haha (Tang dynasty ftw!)
• ivoci · OMG😎

I really adore the composition and ink wash background of this illustration!

Asides from the Lucky Pack, Which Hanfu Sets are You Guys Most Looking Forward to Getting with Your Points? 👀

For me it’s definitely Dragon Guard and Fire Cloud, and also Night Bana ♥♥♥ I love the badass-looking ones haha. Curious to know the tastes of everyone else here! 👀

Comments

• dorothyy · As for me, I would choose Swallow mamian or Street mamian😂
• Xivvy · Ohh yeah the mamianqun are so nice too~
• Natsu · I really want to get: Female poet, Night Bana, Street Mamian,Phoenix Butterfly, Court Dancer and I might get a Lucky Hanfu Pack but im worried that I might get something that I don’t like , so I’m kinda debating XD
• Natsu · I’m not sure about street Mamian, and i also like Fire Cloud, Red knight and Swordsman shirt
• Merriel · Oh yeah, I think “night bana” is the first one to attract me. I like the “dragon guard” as well, but the fabric looks a little thin, I don’t want to end up with just one layer of satin. I quite like the “court dancer” of the spring collection 😉
• Merriel · So, basically, all of them ^^ I get you!
• April · It is true that the fabric of dragon guard has only one layer, but its a thick kind.😂
• Xivvy · Ohh yes that one is lovely!!
• Xivvy · Haha yeah it’s a tricky decision 🥹
• XiaoLingKai · Dragon Guard and Fire Cloud
• Xivvy · Ayy twinsies!!
• XiaoLingKai · ❤️🔥🔥
• lllen · Yes, Fire Cloud
• Natsu · I’m not much of a fan of Qiyong Ruqun from the Tang Dynasty though, but then it depends on teh colours and teh embroidery

Ming Dynasty Flying Fish/Jinyiwei 飞鱼服 锦衣卫 Hanfu!!

My package came from NewHanfu, I love it so much aaaah!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is the black size M Dragon Guard hanfu that you can get in the market for free with points, btw! The fabric is really soft and comfortable and good quality. I’m thinking about getting a sword to complete the look too haha 👀 #hanfuselfie

Comments

• Raquel · so cool
• lllen · Nice! I also want to buy it!
• Xivvy · Thanks!
• Xivvy · Thank you! Yes you have good taste haha!
• Ling · Looks perfect for you!😜
• Natsu · woah!!! You look cool in it!!!
• Xivvy · thank youu! 😄
• Xivvy · Ty so much Ling! ❤️❤️
• Merriel · Yeah it looks reslly good! So you get the belt and wrist guard with it, then? that’s cool!
• Xivvy · Ty Merriel! ❤️ I had to confirm the accessories with the mods actually, they were nice enough to include them 😄
• xaranoon · Oh wow! the accessories really add so much dimension 😊 I can imagine a long hair ribbon flowing in your hair too for that extra flair of drama! Protecc and attacc 💪
• Zoe · Looks so great, do you have a recommendation on sizing?
• Xivvy · yess the accessories are awesome! Haha I totally should put in a ribbon next time, thanks for the idea 😆❤️
• Xivvy · For ref i’m 158 cm! M is the smallest size and is a little large for me (I think these are technically a men’s style), so the torso part is too long for me (noticeable bc of the waist seam, top and bottom are two separate designs, I had to tuck it up). Prob fits best if you’re ten cm taller than I am lol. But asides from that it’s pretty much one size fits all! Hope that helps 🙂
• Lily · 👍👍👍
