Why does modern-day Ye Zun have a shift/train rather than a billowy cloak like the Envoy’s?

I think it's a mix of dressing to impress and his innate sense of style, so yeah, IMO this would be close to how he'd dress up post-canon, in Haixing anyway. (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?) How he'd dress for lounging around at home, I have no idea, but presumably not like this. *g*

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

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

[trobadora]

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*

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.

As much as I don't think this outfit can possibly be improved (but I'm always willing to be persuaded :D), YES PLEASE, I want this. :D :D

"How he'd dress for lounging around at home, I have no idea, but presumably not like this. *g*"

I hope it's like this, lolol. If he can clean his clothes with his powers, he can lounge around in an impeccable white suit. :D :D

LOL! What an image. Now I want to see that, Ye Zun in this suit in all kinds of mundane situations at home. Hee!
