so yeah, IMO this would be close to how he'd dress up post-canon, in Haixing anyway.

I guess, aside from the mask, it's not that much more out there than Shen Wei's outfit at the start of episode 1, though Ye Zun does look like he's about to sit down at a grand piano and play something sweeping and dramatic. :D

I'd love to see the Dixing version of this outfit, actually! Fancy white-and-gold robes? A little ponytail, but with longer hair and a ribbon?

Yeah, now that you say that, it's interesting that he kept his plain white robes in Dixing, isn't it? Huh.

I think the outfit is quite a bit more than SW's ep 1 suit, which is still a normal suit, whereas YZ's is more like the dress version. The piano image is definitely apt! And it would fit well at some kind of event you'd dress up for. I bet Ye Zun would love making an impression, even if he gave up on villainy and wasn't being threatening. *g*

it's interesting that he kept his plain white robes in Dixing, isn't it?

Yes! I don't have a good theory as to why, but it's definitely a choice that bears thinking about ...

I think Shen Wei's first suit looks like he's dressed for a wedding. But then, I don't know suits.
