Will wearing ripped jeans during Lunar New Year cause financial loss?

You cannot look at the holes in someone’s jeans during Lunar New Year and conclude that financial loss is certain throughout the year. In a previous discussion of Lantern Festival taboos, one said torn clothes could lead to financial loss. If you accidentally tear something, mend it or change clothes. There is no need to keep dwelling on it.

For trousers deliberately designed with holes, consider what they mean to the wearer. If you think they look good, enjoy wearing them and do not view the holes as something bad, that taboo cannot simply be applied across the board. Some older people unfamiliar with the design may assume the clothes have worn out and the wearer is reluctant to replace them. People interpret the same garment differently. We need to consider not only its form but whether it troubles your own mind.
