6. Red Hanfu Wedding
If I have to choose one specific style and color hanfu to call it classic, it must be the Red hanfu wedding.
When it comes to choosing a traditional hanfu costume, loyal Hanfu fans do not settle for vintage hanfu patterns. Many popular hanfu costumes are inferior ruqun style copies, but a real wedding hanfu outfit has a lot more thought in it.
Details such as embroidery patterns webbing in all the right places and contours in all the right places make a hanfu wedding costume replica look like the real ancient East wedding ceremony. About the color, red will give you a great shot at a “best costume” award at your local hanfu festival convention or hanfu cosplay party.

Decorated with these chiffons and retro patterns, the costume of the Heaven Sound Meeting looks fancy. The whole light blue and white style makes it a little bit creepy, but that’s exactly what you need if you are interested in a hanfu costume like that. Choosing this makes you the unique existence at any hanfu party you attend.

It was released way back in 2002. But with the first episode of the remake on the horizon, the series is bound to be popular in the cosplay world. Both with longtime fans as well as young audiences who will be introduced to this classic Chinese dramas, if some characters receive a new makeover because of the remake, then that will definitely be something to show at the next hanfu show.
10. The Legend of Sword and Fairy
SF has a whole cast of memorable characters, including Linger! One of the most memorable xianxia dramas in 2009, SF was all the rage a few years ago. At hanfu cosplay conventions, there were tons of top-level cosplayers dressing up from the series. Although you only see few cosplays from it in 2020, a brand new season will be released soon, so I feel we’ll see a resurgence of Xianjian cosplays!
The legend of sword and fairy has so many memorable characters that you have lots to choose from, including Xiaoyao, Yueru, and Jianxian.
Every year, the hanfu festival in November and December attracts millions of passionate fans, film celebs, and creatives for long pop-culture insanity. What must be acknowledged is that we’re still shaking from all the incredible hanfu cosplay we witnessed in 2021.
