Avoid Bad Luck This Ghost Month—Here’s What To Wear

Article (news)

<p><strong>Ghost Month</strong>, or the seventh month of the lunar calendar, is traditionally observed in parts of East and Southeast Asia as a time when wandering spirits are believed to enter the human world</p><div><br/></div><p>The period is closely tied to remembrance, offerings, and respect for ancestors. In 2026, the seventh lunar month runs from <strong>August 13</strong> to <strong>September 10</strong>, with the <strong>Hungry Ghost Festival</strong> on <strong>August 27</strong>.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786621480466BANNERS (2).png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>Dressing for good energy during Ghost Month can be approached as a simple exercise. In an interview with <strong>Master Hanz Cua</strong>, the Feng Shui expert advises people to avoid wearing yin colors such as black, white, and grey, as they are strongly associated with the yin energy, especially mourning.</p><div><br/></div><p>Instead, bring more visual warmth into your wardrobe. Red, yellow, and orange, or yang colors, are vibrant choices that create a brighter, more energetic look. Try a red blouse, golden accessories, an orange bag, or even a colorful shoe as a subtle way to introduce these shades without overhauling your style.</p><div><br/></div><p>Accessories can also carry symbolic meaning. Consider wearing a<strong> Chung Kwei </strong>amulet, traditionally associated with protection, or a <strong>Dragon</strong> amulet, a classic symbol of power and auspicious energy.</p><div><br/></div><p>For a more contemporary approach, stack or wear a<strong> Black Onyx </strong>bracelet<strong></strong>,<strong> Black Obsidian</strong> bracelet, <strong>Tiger’s Eye</strong> bracelet, or <strong>Black Tourmaline</strong>. These stones are commonly associated in Feng Shui and crystal traditions with grounding, protection, and stability.</p><div><br/></div><p>Read more fashion stories on Metro.Style</p>
