How many lengths are there for Hanfu skirts?

Hanfu is generally divided into three-meter, six-meter, nine-meter and twelve-meter styles.

The 6-meter hem of Hanfu refers to the size of the bottom edge of the hem, which refers to the length of the skirt edge. The larger the length, the larger the hem will be. A 6-meter hem Hanfu will just reach the ankles when worn.

What to do if the hem of a Hanfu skirt is too long

1. Wear a belt

If the Hanfu is just a little too long, you can pull the hem of the garment up a little, then fasten it around the waist with a belt and tidy up the garment to avoid the embarrassment of it being too long.

2. Wearing underwear to increase height

If you don't want to make any changes but it's too troublesome, you can wear a pair of height-increasing shoes inside, for example, a pair of height-increasing shoes with a 5-6 cm height-increasing effect. By increasing your height, the Hanfu will naturally become shorter.

3. Shorten

A more direct way is to shorten the Hanfu, but please note that not all Hanfu can be shortened. The requirement is that the hem should be solid color and not have too many patterns and complex designs on it, so that it will not affect the appearance after shortening. Otherwise, the areas with patterns and designs will look ugly after being shortened.

Hanfu dressing suggestions

A complete set of Hanfu usually has three layers: small clothes (underwear), middle clothes, and coat, and then some standard hair accessories, jewelry, shoes, etc. Therefore, most Hanfu, except for the front-opening + tube-top style, need to be matched with the middle clothes when worn.

This is not difficult to understand, it is the same as not wearing a shirt under a suit, the more attention you pay to details, the more refined it is. Similarly, although it is a bit troublesome to wear shoes with raised toes and embroidered shoes, it really looks a bit out of place if you don't wear them.

For example, hair accessories and jewelry, some of the cheap-looking "photo studio-style" ones are not as good-looking as tying two ribbons.
