How to Choose Your First Hanfu
A Beginner’s Guide with Personal Size Support
Choosing your first hanfu can feel exciting — but also confusing.
With different styles, layers, and sizing systems, many beginners worry:
What style should I choose?
Will this fit my body type?
What if I order the wrong size?
This guide will help you choose your first hanfu with confidence, especially if you’re new to Chinese traditional clothing.
1. Start with Beginner-Friendly Hanfu Styles
For your first hanfu, simplicity is key.
Beginner-friendly hanfu usually:
Has fewer layers
Is easier to put on
Feels comfortable for daily wear or travel
Modern hanfu designs are ideal for first-time wearers because they balance:
Traditional elegance
Modern comfort
Practical wearability
You don’t need to start with ceremonial or highly layered styles.
A simple, well-fitting hanfu will make your first experience much more enjoyable.
2. Choose Comfort Over Complexity
Many beginners think hanfu must be worn in a “perfectly traditional” way.
In reality, comfort matters more — especially at the beginning.
For your first hanfu:
Choose lightweight fabrics
Avoid overly long or heavy layers
Look for designs that allow easy movement
Hanfu can be worn for:
Daily outfits
Travel and photos
Cultural appreciation
A comfortable hanfu helps you feel confident, not restricted.
3. Understanding Hanfu Sizing (Why It’s Different)
Hanfu sizing is different from modern Western clothing.
Instead of relying only on:
S / M / L
Dress size numbers
Hanfu sizing often depends on:
Height
Bust
Waist
Overall body proportions
This is why many beginners accidentally choose the wrong size when ordering online.
And this is exactly why personal size guidance matters.
4. Why We Don’t Offer Direct Checkout
At Yukl Shop, we do things a little differently — on purpose.
We do not offer direct online checkout because:
We want to help you choose the right size
We want to reduce sizing mistakes
We want your first hanfu to fit comfortably
Instead of guessing, we provide one-on-one guidance before you order.
This approach helps many first-time customers feel more confident and supported.

6. What Measurements You Should Prepare
To help us recommend the best fit, prepare:
Height
Weight
Bust
Waist
Hips (if available)
With these details, we can guide you toward a hanfu that feels comfortable and flattering.
7. Complete Outfits Make It Easier
For beginners, choosing a complete outfit often feels less stressful.
A full hanfu outfit may include:
Top
Skirt or pants
Belt or sash
Optional accessories
Matching everything correctly can feel overwhelming at first — curated sets make it easier to start.
Final Advice for First-Time Hanfu Wearers
Your first hanfu doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs to feel comfortable, respectful, and right for you.
With the right guidance, choosing hanfu can be a joyful experience — not a stressful one.
