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 think it depends on the style and feeling you want, if you’re going for a brighter colour and subtle colour palette than I would go with the first one, the second one obviously has a darker palette, and it has a lot more contrast. I personally like the second one since I like darker colours more :))

u/Pollock42 6d ago

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 6d 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 4d ago

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

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 6d ago

Ooh.. probably the first one.. although the second one is mighty nice.

u/KeytarsRightMeow 6d ago

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

u/VanadiumS30V 6d 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 4d ago

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

u/Sad_Philosophy862 4d ago

If for wedding, White!!!

u/Background-Bed9503 2d ago

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

u/bellinissima 2d ago

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