The Lunar New Year marks the perfect moment to freshen up your child’s wardrobe. It’s all about embracing the new and bidding farewell to the old, following tradition. This Lunar New Year, let H&M add a dash of fun and festivity to your child’s outfits, setting the stage for a prosperous and joy-filled year for the entire family.
Lunar New Year Fashion
If, like us, you enjoy documenting your child’s milestones and picture-perfect moments, then you’ll agree that putting them up in cute outfits during holidays is a part of the whole ordeal. There’s something satisfying about dressing your mini-me in pretty dresses or dapper suits. And it’s become even more interesting with the wide range of choices for kids’ fashion nowadays.
While we always want to help our kids look their best, especially during the holiday season, dressing them up for the Lunar New Year is another ballgame. Not only do you have to make sure they are nicely dressed, but you also have to make sure that what they are wearing is culturally appropriate and they are not committing any LNY taboos.
So, in a nutshell, here’s how to ensure your kids are dressed to impress while respecting the cultural nuances:
How to Dress Your Kids to Impress for the Lunar New Year
Red symbolises good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture, making it the most auspicious colour for the occasion. Red is also a powerful and bold colour that evokes confidence in your kids, allowing them to make a fashion statement.
- Incorporate Traditional Elements
Encourage culturally rich looks from young by incorporating traditional Chinese elements like embroidery, patterns, or accessories.
This year also marks the year of the dragon, so now’s the time to include that in your child’s wardrobe. The dragon symbol represents good luck, strength and health in Chinese culture and better yet, kids think dragons are cool mythical creatures.
- Embrace the new year with new clothes
Wearing new clothes to welcome the new year symbolises a fresh start and invites good fortune into your life.This coming Lunar New Year, take this opportunity to refresh your kids’ wardrobe.
Embrace the spirit of good fortune by jazzing up your kid’s outfits and treating them to a delightful fashion adventure. Shop for new looks, experiment on trends and even let them take charge of what they want to wear.
Remember, a snazzy ensemble isn’t just a look; it’s a statement that invites positivity and exciting new beginnings.
- Dress comfortably but not overly casual
With family gatherings and holiday activities, comfort is key. The festivities can last the whole day so choose outfits that allow your little ones to enjoy them without any wardrobe discomfort. While comfort is important, do also avoid overly casual outfits such as white vest tops and pyjamas, as these may be considered disrespectful during festive gatherings.
While celebrating, remember to dress modestly, especially when visiting relatives or attending religious ceremonies. Ensure that your child’s neckline and sleeve length are appropriate to avoid offending the elders.
