The choice of clothing material is closely related to the overall style. When matching clothing material, we should first consider the seasonal requirements, generally in spring and summer, the clothing material should be light and breathable, with gauze fabric as the main material, while in autumn and winter, the clothing material should take more into account the warmth effect, and the texture should be more heavy.
It should be noted that the Tang and Ming men's Chinese mens clothing are more on the gallant side, and the material should be more forceful, while the Song hanfu are mood-oriented, so you can choose some floating yarn material to bring up the atmosphere.
