Collection: Modern Hanfu

Modern hanfu refers to a neoteric hanfu style that is modernly designed, improved and made by modern people. It's a informal category of hanfu, and the name is to differentiate itself from the formal and traditional hanfu styles.

The modernity of it mainly displays in 4 aspects.

• First, it is simple on its structures.
  Traditional hanfu contains at least 3 layers----outer garment, middle garment and inner garment, but now, you don't have to wear hanfu such seriously.
• Second, it is plain on its fabric.
  As opposed to traditional hanfu, modern hanfu reduces the complex patterns on its fabric. Average and simple jacquard fabrics are preferred options.
• Third, it is slim on its shape.
  For ancient people, they need to showed their status and identities through wide sleeves, dresses and robes. But for people nowadays, simpleness and convenience are the priorities.
• Fourth, it has less accessories.
  In ancient times, people use accessories, such as yupei (a kind of pendants), handkerchiefs, and swords, to manifest the status and identities of the wearer. But now, people have less needs above when they are wearing hanfu.

As we can see, the way to modernity for hanfu is to "Make it Less". This is because the original purpose of the production of hanfu with modern style is to simplify the difficulties of wearing hanfu and achieve the aim of promotion of hanfu. As a result, the transformation of hanfu conforms to the modern people's life styles, work demands and dressing habits. However, modern hanfu still keeps the rough styles of traditional hanfu, such as the forms of ruqun, aoqun, shenyi, etc. Hanfu needs development in line with times, also needs continuation of thousands years of Chinese cultures.
