Lunar New Year will be here in three weeks – so now’s the time to start planning for your outfits – because trust us, it’s never fun to be caught in a mad rush to find something beautiful and appropriate for ushering in the new year.
You know what the Lunar New Year season means – no black or somber colours. While red is always popular and will earn you brownie points from your elders regardless of the year, we’ve also included some other colours for those who prefer something less fiery (such as pink and orange) – still vibrant and Spring-like – very much suitable for the fresh connotations a new year usually signifies.
Yellow for example, has always been associated with royalty in ancient Chinese culture, while gold, with all its associations with wealth and prosperity, is another fail-proof option. Lighter shades of green bring to mind of jade, which has always been popular with the Chinese for its reputed power to avert evil and bad luck while encouraging good health and fortune. And bonus: they’ll look extra pretty for all those OOTDs you’ll be taking. Happy New Year in advance!
