Colors and patterns used in boys' Hanfu can vary depending on the occasion, age, and personal preference. Traditionally, boys' Hanfu tends to feature more subdued colors such as blue, green, or brown, and may have simpler patterns compared to girls' Hanfu, which often features brighter colors and more intricate designs.

Boys often wear Hanfu for special occasions such as festivals, ceremonies, or performances, as well as for everyday wear. It is also increasingly popular among young boys who are interested in traditional culture and fashion.
