Stumped over ways to introduce it into your Chinese New Year wardrobe, or just feeling fatigued of the colour in general? Isabel Ong brings you through 8 refreshing ways to incorporate pops of red without succumbing to the same old silhouettes.
Floral dresses are pretty much everywhere during CNY. To make yours stand out, do what British fashion blogger Susanna Lau did and layer a sheer floral dress over white or beige separates.
We like this baby blue dress with a colourful Aztec print, which you can match with a chilli-red blazer.
Take it from us – It’s a great way to distract people from asking one too many embarrassingly personal questions. How to pull off clashing prints: Do what this fashion show-goer did and pair a bright-coloured bottom with a dark-coloured top.
The streetstyle star’s Chanel get-up is smart, sharp and super on point. Opt for one in houndstooth prints like Cao, or just go for a mono-coloured outfit (check out how these stylish folks pulled it off from head to toe).
Nope, no normcore here: This sweater’s chunky, oversized zippers add a quirky, edgy appeal.
It’ll take you from a relatives’ gathering to the club seamlessly (just be sure not to over-indulge at your steamboat dinner).
Cropped, plain or floral = basic. Ones with big, oversized sleeves = the new It wardrobe piece to have.
Follow this show-goer’s lead for a sleek, sophisticated “too-cool-for-you” vibe. Put on a bright red cropped jumper over an all-black outfit and minimal accessories, pull hair (and fringe) back into a tight bun, and keep those graphic frames on all day.
