WHAT TO WEAR FOR LUNAR NEW YEAR

The annual marathon of dragons, dancing and delicacies is just around the corner! To help you go the distance, here are our styling tips for three occasions you’re bound to find yourself at this Spring Festival.

When it comes to getting lost in frenzied crowds on the hunt for clothes, candies, sunflower seeds and decorations, prioritise comfort and thematic accents for a festive edge. We suggest two bags—a hands-free crossbody for your small personal belongings, and a large tote that’s a stylish solution for carrying supplies.

On the eve of Lunar New Year, it may be your turn to bring your nearest and dearest together to feast on glutinous rice cake, sweet rice balls and longevity noodles. It’s also the time to pop your best bottle (or two) of bubbles, so don’t be afraid to dial up the dress code. Embrace the upcoming year of the metal ox with cool and crisp shades of white, silver and aqua.

Easy separates are perfect for hours spent lounging or curled up on the sofa, but now’s the time for carefully considered colours. In the company of others, keep spirits high by sporting an auspicious red to represent happiness and passion, and gold for good luck. Pro tip: Along with a beautiful box of tea, arriving with a bunch of blooms in hand is a gesture that never goes out of style.
