It seems just like yesterday where we were still hearing the faint sounds of Mariah Carey’s Christmas album on the radio. Now, Chinese New Year is just a week away, so if you haven’t got the faintest clue what to wear this year, we’ve got your back.
It’s commonly believed that since it’s the start of the Lunar New Year, we should buy a new thing to symbolize getting ready for a fresh new start. And if you want to double your luck, it’s best if you wear red as it is a colour that represents luck and prosperity. Other lucky colours like orange are suitable too!
Whether for house visits or fancy reunion dinners, here are 10 red dresses to help you usher in all the huat this year.
Is this dress not the most perfect for stuffing yourself with CNY snacks? We love how flattering the cut is and the wrap-tie waist is perfect for hiding your stuffed belly.
If your style veer towards minimalism, try this cocoon silhouette dress from local label R-y-e.
Planning to party over the CNY break? This one-shouldered dress will do the trick.
If you want something more subtle but still in the unique asymmetric cut, try this Zara dress instead.
This dress from Beyond The Vines is lightweight and made from Tencel, which makes it perfect for visiting in our humid heat.
If you prefer your shades of red a bit more on the muted side, try this maroon wrap mini dress with pleats from Pomelo instead.
A printed shirt from Uniqlo’s collaboration with Marimekko is great for those with a quirkier style. Style it like how they did with a pair of matching red socks and slip-on boots.
Want to stand out from a sea of red dresses? Try one with a fruit pattern instead.
