Think of it as a handy guide that marks out the main styles, who they\u2019re for, and a few fun facts along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we\u2019re talking about hanfu in the <strong>broad sense of Han <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/en-gb\/catalog\/HanfuSilkDivas\/cheongsam\">Chinese dresses<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re also curious about \u201cimmortal-style\u201d fantasy outfits or stage costumes inspired by hanfu, we\u2019ll touch on those too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2160. The Four Basic Hanfu Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanfu comes in countless variations, but at its core there are just <strong>four main styles<\/strong>. Once you know these, you\u2019ve basically mastered the entry level!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Yishang System (\u8863\u88f3\u5236 \u2014 the oldest!)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This literally means \u201c<strong>top garment + skirt<\/strong>\u201d. The top is a short robe or jacket, and the bottom is a skirt (\u88f3 <em>chang<\/em>), worn by both men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Xuanduan\/\u7384\u7aef<\/em>\u00a0(a formal ceremonial outfit from the Zhou dynasty)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Ruqun\/\u8966\u88d9<\/em>\u00a0(a short jacket called ru paired with a long skirt qun)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun fact: This style was formally included in the ritual dress code as early as the Zhou dynasty. It lasted for more than 4,000 years, all the way up until the Qing dynasty\u2019s \u201chaircut and dress reform,\u201d which replaced traditional hanfu with Manchu clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"257\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7125\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Shenyi System (\u6df1\u8863\u5236 \u2014 the \u201cone-piece\u201d style)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Shenyi<\/strong>&nbsp;originated in the Zhou dynasty. It was made by sewing the upper garment and lower skirt together, creating an all-in-one robe. Symbolically, it represents the harmony between heaven and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This style worked for <strong>both men and women<\/strong>&nbsp;and could be worn as either <strong>formal attire<\/strong>&nbsp;or <strong>everyday clothing<\/strong>. In history, it was often chosen by rulers, officials, and scholars as a more casual yet still respectable outfit outside of strictly ceremonial settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Quju\/\u66f2\u88fe<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 with a wrapped, curved front<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Zhiqu\/\u76f4\u88fe<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 a straight-cut robe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Zhuzi Shenyi\/\u6731\u5b50\u6df1\u8863<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 a Song dynasty scholar\u2019s version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best suited for<\/strong>: Proper ceremonies, scholarly gatherings, or anyone wanting that refined \u201cliterati\u201d vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7127\" style=\"width:292px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Yiku System (\u8863\u88e4\u5236 \u2014 the most comfortable, in my opinion!)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This refers to outfits with pants. \u201cKu\u201d (\u88e4) is a general term for trousers, which came in three main types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Undergarment pants<\/em>&nbsp;(worn inside)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Outer pants<\/em>&nbsp;(worn as the main layer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Leg wraps or jing yi\/\u80eb\u8863<\/em>&nbsp;(tied around the legs for extra protection or practicality)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tongcai (\u901a\u88c1\u5236 \u2014 the one-piece robe, a true lazy-day blessing!)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This style is literally \u201c<strong>one full piece<\/strong>\u201d\u2014a long robe from top to bottom, suitable for both men and women. It became especially popular during the <strong>Tang dynasty<\/strong>, loved by royals, nobles, and scholars alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Round-collar robe<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 think of it as the Tang dynasty\u2019s \u201cofficial uniform\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Dao robe<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 the Ming dynasty\u2019s go-to everyday wear for scholars and literati<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: The round-collar robe was actually a <strong>fusion of Han and nomadic styles<\/strong>.

Ruqun System (\u8966\u88d9\u5236 \u2014 the ultimate girly favorite!)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This style is basically \u201c<strong>short top + high-waisted or chest-high skirt.<\/strong>\u201d Technically, it\u2019s a branch of the Yishang system, but it\u2019s so iconic that it deserves its own spotlight (and we\u2019ll go into more detail below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Qixiong Ruqun<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 chest-high skirts, often seen as the \u201cfairy dress\u201d of the Tang dynasty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Cross-collar Ruqun<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 a more practical everyday version popular in the Song and Ming dynasties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heads-up<\/strong>: The chest-high skirt is famous for being a little tricky to keep in place\u2026 Ancient women actually tied it extra tight with straps to make sure it didn\u2019t slip (relatable struggle!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7131\" style=\"width:348px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2161. Five Key Features of Hanfu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Crossed Collar with Right Closure (jiaoling youren \u4ea4\u9886\u53f3\u887d)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The collar crosses with the <strong>left side over the right<\/strong>\u2014this is very important! Wearing it the other way (right over left) was traditionally reserved for the deceased in Han culture. Some ethnic groups, like Tibetans, do wear the left closure normally, but for hanfu, make sure you don\u2019t get it reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7133\" style=\"width:419px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. No Buttons, Only Ties<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/en-gb\/catalog\/HanfuSilkDivas\">Chinese dresses<\/a> has no buttons or zippers\u2014it\u2019s all about straps and ties. So when you see long ribbons swaying as someone walks, they\u2019re not just pretty decorations\u2014they\u2019re basically the outfit\u2019s \u201cseatbelts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sleeves and Flowing Skirts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeves come in many shapes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Arrow sleeves<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 slim and neat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Pipa sleeves<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 wider, practical (yes, you could even stash small items!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Wide flowing sleeves<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 dreamy and elegant, though not ideal for eating soup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Center Seam with Attached Sleeves<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s usually a seam running down the center of the garment, symbolizing uprightness and integrity. A little detail that shows how much the ancients cared about symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7135\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Hidden Fastenings and Invisible Stitching<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if there are buttons, they\u2019re hidden. The surface always looks smooth, clean, and minimalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2162. Popular Hanfu Styles Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Qixiong Shanqun (Chest-High Skirt Outfit)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as the <strong>Qixiong Ruqun<\/strong>, this style features a skirt tied high above the waist, often right under the chest. It first appeared during the <strong>Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties period<\/strong>, and you can spot it in countless Tang dynasty paintings, figurines, and murals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skirt is usually secured just below the arms, and there are two common variations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Front-opening (duijin\/\u5bf9\u895f)<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 more versatile and widely used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Cross-collar (jiaoling\/<\/em><em>\u4ea4\u9886<\/em><em>) <\/em>\u2014 a more traditional wrap style<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"327\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7137\" style=\"width:403px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Qiyao Shanqun (Waist-High Skirt Outfit)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Also called the <strong>Qiyao Ruqun<\/strong>, this is one of the most popular Chinese dresses styles today. The skirt sits right at the natural waistline, and the short top (ru) can be either cross-collar or straight-collar with a front opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its signature look is the <strong>contrast between a short top and a long flowing skirt<\/strong>, creating proportions that reflect the aesthetics of the golden ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7139\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Beizi (Long Overcoat)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Beizi dates back to the Sui dynasty. Its name carries the idea of keeping the back straight while walking, symbolizing upright posture and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Beizi usually features a <strong>straight collar with a front opening<\/strong>, side slits under the arms, and a length that falls below the knees. It can be fastened with a belt at the waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Song dynasty, women often wore the Beizi over a <strong>moxiong<\/strong>&nbsp;(a type of chest wrap), and the longer version was commonly used as semi-formal attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7141\" style=\"width:335px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Aoqun (Jacket and Skirt Set)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aoqun has been around from the Tang dynasty all the way to the early Republic of China. It refers to the combination of a jacket (ao) worn over a long skirt (qun). Today, when people mention Aoqun, they usually mean a jacket with a built-in lining paired with a skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"298\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-19.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7143\" style=\"width:348px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Banbi (Short-Sleeved Jacket)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banbi is a short outer garment that evolved from the ru (top) during the Wei and Jin periods. It usually has no collar (or sometimes a turned-down one), can be front-opening or pullover style, with sleeves that reach the elbows and a body length ending around the waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"284\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7145\" style=\"width:348px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did these introductions help you get a clearer picture of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/\">Chinese dresses<\/a>?
