马面裙：优雅、流行又百搭的古典裙装款式

The horse face skirt is a classic and fashionable style of skirt, originated from the Ming Dynasty and was very popular. There are two rectangular smooth surfaces on the skirt piece without pleats, resembling the face of a horse, hence the name horse face skirt. There are two common skirt shapes for horse face skirt: parallel pleats and trapezoidal pleats. The parallel pleats look slender and elegant, while the trapezoidal pleats look gorgeous and luxurious. The horse face skirt can be worn alone or paired with other Hanfu items to create different styles and temperament.

Wearing method

The horse face skirt is a one-piece skirt that needs to be wrapped around the body and secured with a tie. There are two rectangular smooth surfaces on each skirt piece, called skirt doors. When worn, the front and back skirt doors will overlap, but not sewn together. The reason for this is to facilitate ancient people riding donkeys or horses, they can separate the skirt pieces. Therefore, when wearing a horse face skirt, it is best to wear safety pants or shorts or skirts underneath to prevent exposure. Of course, if you don't mind this style, you can also use magnetic clasps to close the skirt doors, or choose an underskirt to make the horse face skirt look more fluffy.

Choosing the right size

There are many ready-made horse-faced skirts available on the market. Generally, merchants will provide reference values, such as waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip difference, height, leg length, total skirt length, skirt waist width, and so on. These data are all important because they will affect the effect and comfort of horse-faced skirts. For example, if your waist-hip difference is greater than 25cm (i.e., hip circumference minus waist circumference), then wearing a parallel pleated horse-faced skirt may cause the side pleats to spread out. This is not a mistake, but a matter of personal preference and aesthetics. If you want the side pleats to fit better, you can choose a trapezoidal pleated horse-faced skirt or a customized horse-faced skirt. Customized horse-faced skirts can be made according to your personal data and requirements, such as choosing different fabrics, colors, patterns, techniques, number of pleats, etc. Although customized horse-faced skirts may be more expensive than ready-made ones, they can ensure a better fit and satisfaction.

Multiple matching methods

The horse-faced skirt is a very versatile item that can be paired with different tops and accessories according to different occasions and moods.

If you want a retro and elegant feeling, you can choose a turtleneck or a long shirt as the inner layer, exposing some horse-faced skirt hem to show a sense of layering. If you want a stylish and casual feeling, you can choose a T-shirt or a shirt as the inner layer, tie the horse-faced skirt's belt into a bow, and add a cute and lively atmosphere. If you want a magnificent and luxurious feeling, you can choose an embroidered or jacquard horse-faced skirt, and match it with delicate accessories such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., to enhance your aura and nobility.
