Zhao Yang Golden Petal Boy Samfu Top (Yellow)

How do I choose his size?

Measure his chest and use the guide below, with age as a starting point only — children the same age vary a lot. For reference, our model is 106cm with a 57cm chest and wears the M. Check the length in the chart too, so you know where the hem will sit on him.

Is the embroidery delicate?

It asks for a little care, the way any embellished piece does — the floral embroidery and sequin accents sit on the outside, so they can catch on rough surfaces. Inside, the lining means nothing scratchy touches him, and the satin is light rather than stiff.

Does it need to be tucked in?

No — the hem is straight-cut and finished to be worn out over trousers, which is how a samfu top is meant to sit. One less thing to keep fixing through the afternoon.

Will he be too warm?

It's lined, so warmer than a plain t-shirt, but the sleeves are short and the fabric is light — comfortable for indoor visiting and air-conditioned restaurants. In full sun outdoors, he'll feel the lining.

What does he wear it with?

Cream, beige or stone trousers, as the model wears it, with loafers or clean white sneakers. Navy or charcoal works too and makes it less dressy. Keep the bottoms plain — the embroidery is the detail.

How do I keep it looking new?

Hand wash cool or dry clean — not the machine, because of the sequin finishing. Close the pankou (盘扣) knots first, never wring it, and dry flat out of direct sunlight. For creases, steam rather than press, or use low heat around the embroidered areas so the iron never touches the sequins directly.

Not sure which size? Start here.

Size by his chest, using age only as a guide. The cut is relaxed and straight, so a little room is normal and intended.
