Do you think Hanfu should have a standard style? I mean, we can wear everything but there is this style which representes Hanfu, I think 齐胸襦裙 could be the best style to represent the standard because it cheap, good quality in general and comfortable! What do you think? Or it is better 袄裙?
Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (image via)
No, I personally don't think hanfu should have an all-encompassing standard style. Rather than somehow mandating a standard style for everyone, I think it's better to let individual groups, organizations, and institutions set their own standard style if they wish.
Furthermore, as I explained in my post on how I feel about the inconsistency of the hanfu revival movement, even if there was a standard style, it would be very difficult to enforce.
If I had to choose a standard style, I'd probably go with the 交领襦裙/jiaoling (cross-collar) ruqun (image via):
I'd choose jiaoling ruqun because it's:
the most representative style of hanfu imo
commonly depicted in media (well-known)
relatively comfortable & easy to wear
unisex
As for the two options you suggested - 齐胸襦裙/qixiong (chest-high) ruqun & 袄裙/aoqun - while qixiong ruqun is iconic as the representative women's hanfu style of the Tang dynasty, it's not as convenient to wear compared to the other two styles (image via):
Compared to qixiong ruqun, aoqun is probably the better choice when considering convenience & comfort. It's also the representative women's hanfu style of the Ming dynasty, and thus more recent compared to other styles (image via):
With that said, I stick by my opinion that a representative standard style is not necessary for the hanfu revival.
Hope this helps!

Di antara banyak bentuk Hanfu, semua orang sangat akrab dengan jenis Hanfu seperti ruqun. Ruqun adalah salah satu jenis Hanfu. Berdasarkan model kerahnya, ruqun dapat dibagi menjadi beberapa macam salah satunya ruqun dengan kerah menyilang. ilustrasi oleh ivoci , foto oleh Yuanyumin Ruqun model ini disebut juga dengan jiaoling ruqun (Hanzi: 交领襦裙 ; Pinyin: jiāo lǐng rú qún). Jiaoling ruqun cukup umum di Tiongkok kuno dan bisa dipakai oleh pria dan wanita. Menurut tradisi pakaian Tiongkok Han, kerah jiaoling ruqun disilang dengan cara jiaoling youren (Hanzi: 交领右衽 ; Pinyin: jiāolǐng yòurèn), membungkus kain sisi kanan sebelum kiri, membentuk bentuk seperti huruf y. Kerah jiaoling ruqun berbentuk seperti huruf y Ciri khas Dibandingkan dengan bentuk hanfu lainnya, jiaoling ruqun memiliki ciri khas yang jelas yaitu bagian atas (ru) pendek dan rok bawah (qun) panjang,. ilustrasi oleh ivoci Secara umum, jika baju atasannya pendek sampai ke pinggang, roknya panjang di bawah tulang pergelangan kaki. Jika baju atasannya panjang, roknya lebar. Adalah tabu untuk membagi ruqun secara merata dari atas ke bawah, itu akan terlihat kaku.

If you don’t mind me askin, do own and hafus? If not, do you have any favourites?
Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (image via)
Yes, I do own a few hanfu. Here's a list of hanfu & hanfu accessories I currently own:
3 quju + 1 matching dachang
1 jiaoling (cross-collar) ruqun set (jiaoling ru + banbi + qun + pibo)
2 duijin (parallel-collar) shanqun sets (duijin shan + moxiong/dudou + qun + pibo)
1 Song dynasty-style set (beizi + shan + moxiong + baidiequn)
1 mamianqun
1 hanyuansu one-piece dress
1 pair of shoes
A few hairpins & a necklace
My favorite is probably the Song dynasty-style set by 上遥居 that I got from Nüwa Hanfu. It has a lovely color palette of lilac, pink, and white, light & ethereal fabrics, and exquisite floral embroidery & pearl accents. Perfect for spring!:
I'm also in love with this gorgeous handmade ronghua hairpin I recently got from 卿子手作 (seriously, the photos don't do it justice):
I'm looking into getting a bag next, since I realized I don't really have a matching bag to wear with my hanfu. In particular, I've been eyeing this cute embroidered swallow-motif crossbody bag from 瞳莞:
Feel free to share favorite hanfu acquisitions in this post! ^^
