The Hanfu dress, the traditional costume of the Han majority of people in China, has evolved enough to cross several geographical borders day. Thanks to the presence of Asian men and women all over the world, the Hanfu has gained immense popularity in the recent past. While Chinese women didn’t leave any chance to flaunt their traditional costumes to the world, the men weren’t far behind, either.
In the last few years, the men’s Hanfu fashion industry also has registered massive growth, because more and more are willing to sport traditional Hanfu costumes for formal and religious occasions.

The designs and embroidered patterns on the men’s Hanfu shirts are far simpler than the ones found in women’s Hanfu shirts.
