1. Round-Collar Robe (Universal Style in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu)
As a most widely used style within Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu (960-1279 AD), it features a closed round collar and optional narrow/wide sleeves with an inner lining collar—adapting to both administrative and daily needs of Song men. Wide sleeves suited officials during government affairs, while narrow sleeves were favored by commoners for daily activities, reflecting the versatility of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu.
A strict color hierarchy in this style defined social ranks of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu wearers: after the Yuanfeng Institutional Reform, "purple for officials above Grade 4, crimson for those above Grade 6, and green for those above Grade 9" (Collected Drafts of the Song Dynasty's Institutional Records). Nobles chose fine silks like ling (damask) and luo (gauze) for this robe, while commoners opted for dark-colored linen or cotton versions. Officials’ leather belts (a key accessory of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu) were graded by plaques (jade for Grade 3+, gold for mid-levels), a detail confirmed by tomb artifacts from Kaifeng, Northern Song Dynasty.
2. Lanshan (Scholarly Formal Attire in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu)
Evolved from traditional Hanfu long shirts, Lanshan is a refined formal style exclusive to scholars and students in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu. It adds a horizontal hem band (lan) to symbolize the ancient "upper garment + lower skirt" tradition—a core ceremonial element that distinguishes scholarly attire in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu.
Typically made of plain fine cloth or light silk (consistent with the modest aesthetic of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu for scholars), it has wide sleeves and is paired with a waist belt. The plain color palette (white, light cyan) and structure of Lanshan are corroborated by the unearthed specimen from Huang Sheng’s Tomb (Southern Song, Fuzhou, Fujian)—a physical example of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu.
3. Daopao (Zhiduo) & Zhuzi Shenyi (Casual & Ritual Subsets of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu)
1) Daopao (Home Robe): A casual staple in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu for scholars and commoners, with a straight collar, right-side overlapping placket, and side slits attached to hidden pleats (three cloth panels stitched with folds). It reaches the ankles, with wide sleeves for comfort—embodying the daily practicality of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu. Silk versions for nobles and linen ones for commoners are verified by Zhou Yu’s Tomb artifacts (Southern Song, Jintan, Jiangsu); the monk-specific Zhiduo (called "straight-seam robe" for its central back seam) is a religious variant of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu recorded in Record of the Capital's Prosperity.
2) Zhuzi Shenyi (Ritual Robe): A ceremonial style in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu designed by Zhu Xi based on The Book of Rites (Zhu Xi's Family Rituals). It has a crossed placket, 12-panel skirt (symbolizing 12 months), and round sleeves with square collar (implying "heaven is round, earth is square")—reserved for sacrifices, reflecting the ritual function of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu. Its 形制 is evidenced by Song Dynasty brick carvings.
4. Duanhe & Futou (Functional Components of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu)
1) Duanhe (Coarse Short Robe): A workwear style tailored for laborers in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu, made of rough hemp with short narrow sleeves and matching trousers. Murals in the Bai Sha Song Tomb (Yuxian, Henan) depicting farmers confirm its practical design—catering to the working needs of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu wearers.
2) Futou (Headgear): An indispensable accessory to complete a set of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu. Officials wore "straight-foot Futou" (long extended sides), while commoners used "soft-foot" or "curved-foot" versions—this hierarchical difference in Futou styles is a key status marker of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu, documented in History of the Song Dynasty·Treatise on Costumes and Regalia.
II. Key Features of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu (Reflecting Song Culture and Social Order)
1) Strict Hierarchical Markers in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu: Colors, fabrics, and accessories of Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu were rigidly tied to social status. For example, commoners were banned from wearing purple/crimson or using jade/gold decorations on Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu (History of the Song Dynasty: "Non-officials shall not wear purple"), making rank distinguishable at a glance.
2) Neo-Confucianism Influence on Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu: Designs in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu like Zhuzi Shenyi’s "rules of heaven and earth" and Lanshan’s "ancient respect" reflected Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism’s emphasis on order—an academic view cited in Study of Song Dynasty Costumes.
3) Balance of Innovation & Tradition in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu: Practical innovations in Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu (Daopao’s hidden pleats, wide sleeves for comfort) coexisted with ritual preservation (Shenyi’s ceremonial structure), embodying how Song Dynasty Men's Hanfu integrated daily utility and traditional etiquette
This Song Dynasty wuxia cross-collar robe is extremely dashing. It is made of highly breathable fabric. The main body features a black upper garment paired with dark wine-red skirt panels, and the color combination creates a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The cuff design with wrist guard details adds a sense of neatness and chivalrous spirit. The exquisite pattern design and tailoring of the garment can instantly give the wearer a visual effect of "gaining 10 centimeters in height", which is quite eye-catching. When worn, it makes one feel like a heroic martial arts master from the Song Dynasty in an instant.
The black cross-collar upper garment looks extremely neat and concise. A circle of red trimming at the neckline adds a vivid touch to the entire outfit. There are exquisite floral embroideries on the sleeves, which have quite an oriental charm and seem to contain auspicious meanings; the chest of the long outer robe also features the same floral embroidery, creating a harmonious overall echo. The wrist guards are made of printed leather fabric, which can perfectly modify the arm lines and add more heroic spirit of martial arts to the look.
To fully capture the essence of Song Dynasty men's Hanfu, this round-collar robe pairs beautifully with several antique-style pieces:
- A plain white stand collar inner garment: its neckline adds subtle layers when exposed, echoing the layered silhouettes of traditional Tang men’s Hanfu.
- Wrist guards: these bring a touch of martial spirit, referencing the military and equestrian influences in some Tang-era styles.
- A waist belt: Opt for a double-button belt or a diéxiè belt (adorned with nine ornaments, which can hang small items like pouches—both practical and decorative, just like belts in historical Tang men’s attire).
- Hanfu boots: Neat, closed-toe boots complete the look, as footwear was a key detail in authentic Tang-era men’s ensembles.
- A wide-sleeved dàchǎng (outer robe): Draping this over the round-collar robe enhances the grandeur of the outfit, capturing the essence of formal Tang Dynasty men's Hanfu.
Wearing this ensemble feels like stepping back into Dongjing (the Song capital) a thousand years ago. Its retro, eye-catching style stands out on the street—while staying true to the authenticity of Song Dynasty men’s traditional attire.
This set of clothes includes an upper garment, a skirt, an outer robe, a belt, and wrist - guards.
