Should foreigners wear traditional Chinese clothing? Is it cultural appropriation?
Honestly, these questions plagued my mind for the past 5 years that I've been living in China, but locals seem to have a very different perspective to many of us in the West. Chinese people tend to be really happy and even feel flattered when non-Chinese choose to wear "hanfu" or other Chinese traditional clothing. As long as you show respect and acknowledge that it's Chinese traditional clothing (ie don't confuse it for the Japanese Kimono or Korean Hanbok), it's a great way to participate in cultural exchange and connect with locals. Ultimately, that's what led me to finally try wearing the clothes, and I'm glad I did!
What are your thoughts? Would you try on traditional clothing from another culture?
