Hanfu (, lit. "Han Chinese clothing"), also known as Hanzhuang () or Han Chinese clothing, are the historical styles of Han Chinese clothing worn from the 2nd millennium BCE to 17th century AD. There are several representative styles of hanfu, such as the (an upper-body garment with a long outer skirt), the (an upper-body garment with a long underskirt), the and the , and the (an upper-body garment with ku trousers).
Historically, hanfu consists of a robe named paofu, or the pair of an upper garment named ru (jacket) and a lower garment named qun (skirt). In addition to clothing, hanfu also includes several forms of accessories, such as headwear, footwear, belts, jewellery, and Hand fans. Recently, hanfu is gaining recognition as the "traditional clothing" of the Han ethnic group, despite the lack of a widespread continuous tradition since the 17th century, and has experienced a growing fashion revival among young Han Chinese people in China and in the overseas Chinese diaspora.
