Superstitious Saturday Inside-Out
In Russia, it is believed that putting
your clothes on inside-out is bad luck. Supposedly, doing so invites a beating.
However, in China it is said that if you put your clothes on this way but
immediately put them back on correctly it will bring good luck.
That being said, another source https://www.quora.com/Is-it-good-luck-to-wear-your-clothes-backward-by-accident
states that in China it is bad luck to wear
your clothes inside-out because it foretells a death. But it will bring even
worse luck if you put them back on the right way. The same source says this is
an old gambler’s superstition and is where the word “turncoat” (meaning traitor)
came from.
There are many other superstitions
related to wearing one’s clothes inside-out – some good, some bad. Whether this
applies to costumes or just regular clothes, I don’t know.
