As Taiwan enters the "Ghost Month" on the lunar calendar, a Feng Shui master is offering guidance on appropriate attire to ward off misfortune and attract good luck.
Avoid wearing all-black, all-white, or all-red outfits from head to toe, as well as ripped clothing.
Master Wang Yun-bin advises against wearing outfits that are entirely black, white, or red during this period, as such monochromatic choices are believed to attract spirits. He suggests incorporating other colors or bright accessories like bags, scarves, or hats to soften the overall look and project a more vibrant aura.
Ripped clothing can easily 'leak air,' leading to a loss of good fortune and potentially attracting 'poor ghosts.'
Furthermore, Wang cautions against fashion trends like ripped jeans or "broken design" styles, which he believes can lead to a "leakage" of good fortune and may attract "poor ghosts." For women, excessively revealing or off-the-shoulder clothing is also discouraged, as it might attract unwanted attention from "lustful ghosts."
Women should also avoid overly revealing or off-the-shoulder clothing, as it may attract 'lustful ghosts.'
Instead, Wang recommends opting for clean, bright, and neat clothing. He believes that such attire not only enhances one's appearance and energy but also contributes to a more positive mood and outlook. These recommendations are based on folk beliefs and are offered for reference.
Wear clean, bright clothing. It will make you look more energetic and help you maintain a happy mood and positive energy.
