Greetings from Los Angeles!

Today, I would like to introduce a new fashion trend of Hanfu. This trend is called “汉洋折衷” (Han-Yang Zhezhong), which means the mix of Hanfu and Western fashion or modern fashion. This mixed style sets off an elegant wave of success over the past few years – the most special, and the most romantic clothing styles.

Now, let’s take a look at the four special Hanfu-Western looks!
1. Spring Look
In the pictures above, the model wears a standing-collar blouse (竖领短衫) trimmed with lace. The white full-length skirt (花鸟马面裙) is embroidered with bird and flower patterns. Lace shawl, pillbox hat, and lace umbrella are the perfect complements to any Hanfu outfits. They are also the key to the Western style! The under-top is a detachable collar as an extra layer. The overall look gives off a countryside feeling.
Spring is coming!
2. Summer Look
The top is a light pink shirt with a y-shaped collar (交领短袄), and the bottom is a side-pleated skirt (马面裙). This skirt is quite special with rainbow gradient and delicate knife pleats. The bow in the front at the waist is a recipe for summer freshness…If you think it is a little simple, a pair of pearl earrings and lace gloves must be a brilliant idea!
3. Autumn Look
The cut and embroidery of this jacket (补服) give an everlasting charm, and the big white straw gives a perfect opportunity to showcase that outfit. The flower pin is used to fasten the lace shawl, and it also plays so well with the sharp tailored look. The jacket with a crane embroidery pattern is such a statement piece that you don’t need any fancy accessories to pair it with. Just a bouquet of flowers is enough!
4. Winter Look
It’d be nice to wear elegant robes over thick winter parkas. Mandarin collar, diagonal closure, and thicker fabrics can protect you against the coldness. The white pearl belt definitely lives up to the hype – it outlines women’s attractive curves. As you can see, fashion items made of lace are always favored by this mixed trend. As for the bottom, the side-pleated skirt is made of gauze brocade or brocade with golden threads, full of aristocratic aesthetics.

Nowadays, more and more young girls love coupling classic pieces together, but from time to time, adding something unexpected to the look gives much more personality and charm. The mix of Hanfu and Western fashion could be the manifestation of their creativity. In addition to women’s Hanfu, now we can see more and more young men also trying this new trend!
