Play it up with the prints

Instead of solid colours like red, why not play it up with some prints? Have a go at something fun apart from the regular floral prints you find at CNY gatherings.

Rat – red, yellow
Ox – pink
Tiger – gray
Rabbit – pink, yellow
Dragon – red, ruby, gray
Snake – light yellow

Go for warm hues: think yellows, orange, browns and nudes

An option to looking fresh this CNY without red would be to steer closer to warmer hues. Oranges, yellows and nude neutrals are a good option for the festive season. Ps, the colour yellow is meant to also signify good luck – so have at it!

A pop of colour

While some may frown upon black-and-white outfits during the CNY season, one hack is to accessorise with a pop of colour. Not only will it bring your outfit to the next level, but it’ll also save you from the stares of disapproving relatives.

What better way to usher in the Year of the Rat this year than with a mouse print itself? Gucci’s done it with Mickey Mouse, Zara did it with Tom & Jerry – so you should get in on the trend, stat.
