The Auspicious Shirt Color Guide: Unlock your Luck in (Thai) Style!

Hello, lovely readers! Remember the seven colors for seven days from my last post? If you missed it, no worries! You can click on this link to catch up. Now, I’m back to delve into shirt color options for every day of the week. Let’s dive in!


Lately, I’ve been hearing a ton about personal color, and I’ve noticed how colors can either make or break someone’s appearance. But, have you ever had one of those days where everything just goes south, despite digging through your closet trying to nail that perfect look with the right colors? Well, maybe it’s time to consult “The Auspicious Shirt Color Guide.”


The Auspicious Shirt Color Guide is an ancient Thai astrological belief. According to this belief, colors and planets are interconnected, with each planet associated with a specific color. Additionally, the days of the week in Thailand are named after these planets. That’s the gist of it. I’m not an astrologist, so I can’t elaborate more on the subject. This belief is extremely popular among Thai office workers that it has become a guiding principle for office attire.

This chart lays out the seven days of the week. For each day, there are recommendations for shirt colors that are supposed to boost your power, bring in the money, enhance your luck, keep you healthy, unlock your love life, and even make your superiors your biggest fans. And let me tell you, that last one’s a big deal because in Thai society, seniority is practically a superpower.

The guide also suggests the colors you should steer clear of because they bring misfortune and chaos. We can’t quite put our finger on how colors manage to swing our day from good to bad, but many office folks, myself included, tend to steer clear of those supposedly bad-luck colors, just to play it safe. However, if you feel a bit overwhelmed by this table guide, no worries! Your surefire key to avoiding bad luck is to just throw on the color of the day and bid farewell to misfortune.

And now I’m curious about your culture. Do you have any color beliefs or quirky wardrobe rules to share? Please share your thoughts!
