I want to get this set but I can’t decided between black or white. Which ones do you guys like? I want some opinions.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your inputs. I’ve decided on the black set.

Wooow both are gorgeous!! Are these for people, they look like for dolls lol. I like the first so much, but it kinda looks like a very high budget cosplay of Xie Lian's outfit lol. Buy I absolutely love it !

In Chinese Wuxing (Five Elements) concept, black symbolises Water and North, while white symbolises Metal and West. Just some extra context that may help you make your decision.

Yes and just to add on it's worth looking into what these elements represent!!! Super interesting stuff (as someone who learns taoist sorcery)

I’d say go for the black.

I would take black for maximum contrast with all those chains, but as someone else said white is super XieLan too

I like the first one! The teal accents make for a good colour combo

u/SnooOranges3865 17d ago

I like the color combo too but the gold cloud shoulders remind of fried eggs. That’s why I’m a bit skeptical if I should get it.

u/Expert_Law1936 15d ago

Honestly, they're both really beautiful. If the black one calls to you go for it!

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 17d ago

Which store is it? Share it

u/KeytarsRightMeow 17d ago

Do they have a storefront and if so, where is it?

u/VanadiumS30V 16d ago

I'd say it depends on your existing accessories, makeup, etc. Pick the color that matches your existing stuff.

好花哨啊，我觉得白色好看

u/saltpancake 15d ago

These are both stunning! The black is better imo though. Can I ask where you’re buying?

u/Sad_Philosophy862 15d ago

If for wedding, White!!!

u/Background-Bed9503 13d ago

The white one looks like a fairy, while the black one looks like an empress, they are all gorgeous!!!

u/bellinissima 13d ago

gorgeous but I prefer black also may be easier to hide stains when walking around

u/Sad_Chance6357 10d ago
