Hello! Thank you for making this lovely blog! I was wondering, as like an artist and and cosplayer, if there were any kind of guidelines or rules as to how to put together a hanfu outfit? It’s just there seems to be quite a few layers and several styles for one to pick from and I’m unsure if there’s any do’s and don’t when it comes to choosing. Thank you for your time!
Hi, thanks for the kind words! Unless you’re aiming for historical accuracy and/or trying to stick to a specific dynasty/time period, you should feel free to put together a hanfu outfit however you want! ^^ The only real “rule” is left-over-right for crossed-collars (unless you’re portraying the dead/undead, in which case right-over-left is appropriate). If you’re interested in how different styles of hanfu are generally put together, you can see my Masterpost for more references. Hope this helps, and have fun! (Image Via)
