While red is widely known to be the colour to wear for the Lunar New Year, it can sometimes lead to a case of scarlet fatigue – where one is so bored of seeing all the red surrounding oneself.
To help you remedy this situation, try opting for orange instead. Not only is it usually overlooked by most people when they shop for new clothes, it’s also a great contender to become a CNY colour. Plus, unlike red, orange has a longer lifespan post-CNY, because you can wear it to the office more often without being associated with the Lunar New Year, National Day or Christmas.
To help you stand out this CNY, we’ve gathered a collection of infallible orange items to pop into your wardrobe. Here’s to oozing positivity, joy and warmth wherever you go!
