What To Wear For Lunar New Year 

Red Dresses

Red is a core colour when it comes to new year festivities. It is a symbol of passion and luck. Picture a flowing red dress to embody the spirited joy of Lunar New Year festivities. Red is more than a colour, it is a beacon of energy, and it is the perfect shade to adorn yourself in this season. Wear a full length or off the shoulder red dress with matching red heels for your celebration.

 

Gold Dresses & Jewellery

Under the golden sun, a shimmer of gold takes centre stage. Gold represents wealth, abundance and good fortune. A golden metallic dress or golden jewellery can be worn to your next celebration to mirror the richness of tradition and the promise of a prosperous new beginning. Choose a dress with golden embroidery or metallic accents for a look of sophistication. Gift yourself or your loved ones with some gold earrings to ring in the new year.
