Red has always been associated as a lucky colour as it signifies luck, joy and happiness. And more often than not, we’re guilty of donning the popular hue over the yearly festivities for many reasons. Some do it to boost their luck and while others do so to ward off evil spirits. But red isn’t the only colour you should be wearing over the Lunar New Year. In fact, other colours such as green, yellow, and gold are also considered auspicious according to Chinese traditions.
But if you’re more superstitious, you’ll probably want to pay more attention to your lucky colours that are based on your Chinese zodiac.
Of course, since Chinese New Year is an annual celebration, you’ll still want to look for wearable and stylish pieces that won’t burn a hole in your wallet and you can wear beyond the occasion. So if you’re not planning to wear a traditional cheongsam, and you’re on the hunt for an outfit in your lucky colour, then you’ve come to the right page. From crowd-favourite brands like Love, Bonito to Pomelo, ahead, we’ve rounded up some of our top picks to wear this Lunar New Year.
