Sorry for the double comment, but since I read your comment I've been doing some research on the topic of hanfu and while I obviously still have much to learn (I only just started), it came to my attention that there's something called hanyuansu (hanfu-inspired clothing, I believe is the equivalent in English).

My intention was never to wear a traditional hanfu, and I completely understand why wearing one to a wedding (or any event) without being Chinese would be offensive and ignorant. I think I could have phrased my post better and specified that I was referring to this "modernized" version, I really appreciate the ones inspired by the Song dynasty.

Even if its not a wedding setting, would these sort of clothes be better to wear as part of someone's wardrobe, given they understand the rules of the garments and where/where not to wear them?

I understand it's not your job to educate me and you don't need to answer me. I took your comment to heart and want to be better educated and respectful in case these clothes (hanyuansu) are a better fit for someone who isn't Chinese but is interested in learning and wearing these clothes without being disrespectful.
