There is no accurate definition of what counts as Han Fu since each Han-dominated dynasty had its own style,but the outfits are characterized by loose,flowing robes that drape around the body,with sleeves that hang down to the knees.

A complete Han Fu garment developed in time with addition of other parts of clothing.Now,it is considered that it consists of several pieces of clothing:Yi—which is any open crosscollar garment and is worn by both men and women;Pao—any closed full-body garment,it is worn only by men;Ru—open shirt with crosscollar;Shan—open cross-collar shirt or jacket which is worn over the Yi;Qun or Chang—a type of skirt which is worn by both women and men and Ku—a type of trousers or pants.It is also considered traditional to decorate Han Fu withtasselsand jade pendants（墜飾） or variousornamentshung from the belt or sash,which are known as Pei.Hats for men and hairpieces for women could also be traditionally worn in combination with Han Fu.This headwear also marked profession or social rank.

Zhou Yingxi,a girl wearing Han Fu everyday,said it's nice to see more and more people wearing Han Fu.While for some people,it's just a bit strange to wear traditional Han Fu in modern time.
