Tips for wearing hanfu for workday

Don't choose overly exaggerated elements

Workday wear needs to be simple, the simpler the look the more aesthetically interesting it is. So don't choose overly exaggerated elements for workday, such as the big pleats on the Mamian Qun or the big hem on the Ruqun. We should start from simple to complex, and reflect the idea of matching through the "layers" of dressing.

The workplace hanfu dressing needs to reflect professionalism and rigor. For this reason, we can choose the "Ming-style Pipa Sleeve Duijin Shan (明制琵琶袖对襟衫)" as top. It has a high collar and is decorated with buttons, so you can wear it with a sense of elegance and rigor.

The Zhuyao (主腰) of the vintage color scheme can be worn on top of it, and the layers of the outfit will be richer. The skirt can try the "Song style Xuan Qun", this skirt waistline high and show the leg length, suitable for the workplace wear.

Don't forget the classic color scheme

The simpler the color scheme, the more advanced it tends to be, and "black and white" is the unchanging classic of workplace dressing. When matching black and white clothing must show a sense of transition.

We can choose to use the fabric to create a rich sense of transition, such as this set of Duijin Ao (对襟袄) using a light gauze fabric, which will show the white inside.

This see-through design is the highlight of the outfit, which can quickly catch the eye of others and help you quickly establish a sense of presence in the workplace.

The lower skirt is longer, basically covering the ankles and showing thinness. At the same time the long skirt also looks more elegant than the short skirt, then if you match a pair of high heels, you can make you more intellectual and mature, more in line with the workplace atmosphere.

Choose a striking color scheme

Newcomers in the workplace need to be quickly remembered by colleagues and leaders, and this is where a good outfit can help a lot. The black and white we introduced earlier is versatile, but after all, the vividness of the color is low and not bright enough.

If you want to wear a more advanced bright, you must pay attention to the following points.

First of all, the overall color scheme should not exceed three, it is recommended to 1-2 colors for the main color large area use, and then choose a bright color for the embellishment color, used to highlight the focus.

Second, we try to avoid the color saturation too high fluorescent color, when matching some of the bright colors, must be complemented by a calm and low key dark colors to do the transition.

For example, this set of Song-style Moxiong (抹胸) and Zhe Qun (褶裙) are more bright orange, so it is outside and deliberately with the most inclusive black Beizi (褙子). The "black + orange" match looks comfortable and advanced, is the model of color matching in the workplace.

Choose a casual hanfu style

The casual style is more suitable for those who need to go out often in the workplace.

We need to pay attention to "layers" first, for example, this set of Song-style Duijin short Ao and long Beizi overlap, especially the visual hierarchy. And there is a bow and arrow shaped dark pattern on it, with a bit of Jianghu atmosphere.

The bottom is a "Song style two-piece skirt", which is very fashionable and has a moderate length. We can also mix and match a pair of Martin boots under the hanfu, the overall style will be more spontaneous and "cool".

Choice of material for Workday Hanfu Outfits

Be sure to maximize the consideration of comfort. For example, the intimate fabrics are generally natural fabrics, such as suspenders or close-fitting Shan and other materials to choose cotton or silk will be more breathable and sweat-absorbent, while the skin feel excellent especially soft and comfortable.

And the outer layer of clothing decorative fabrics can choose to drape more good chiffon, it is not easy to wrinkle.
