Here Are Five New Ways To Wear Red This Chinese New Year
Up your game this year starting with your CNY outfit of choice.
According to Pantone, there are about 40+ shades of red and we see them almost everyday—and apart from that, hundreds of unaccounted for reds. There are about 28 basic types of fabrics you can choose from to fully express festivity and abundance during this upcoming festive occasion. In essence, we haven't really seen the color red in its fullest potential! That's why it's only fitting to see this color with a new pair of style lenses, we give you five new ways to wear the color red this Chinese New Year!

Apart from that, we will be showing you five new or familiar silhouettes that will definitely pique your interest. From a sheer avant-garde dress, a power suit, a patterned ensemble, a strong leather jumpsuit, to a body-hugging ostrich feather-trimmed dress, we might just have a CNY outfit for every type of fashion girl in the gallery down below.

Wear Something Bolder
Red is already a bold color by itself but Burgundy Red is a whole other experience. The Belted Wool and Cashmere Coat from Joseph and the High-Waisted Trousers from See by Chloé is a fool-proof power suit ensemble. Attract power and good fortune this CNY by styling this look with your best gold jewelry pieces. PRO tip: Elevate the look with a statement pair of loafers or heels if you’re feeling extra.

Wear Something Groovy
There's no reason not to be in a dance-ready outfit on CNY. Apart from all the 'tikoy' we will be having, expect a night of red wine with your beau or your closest friends. This Cult Gaia Joey Printed Linen and Tencel set prepares you for a groovy night. In case you didn't know, red patterned outfits are just as lucky as solid-colored ones! Style this with a white pair of block heels or a bright red scarf around your hair for extra luck.
