If you’re still looking for outfits for Chinese New Year, you’ve come to the right place! Read on and find our top picks for the whole family.
The Golden Colours this Lunar New Year:
Red is always a sure-win during the Chinese New Year festivities, but during the Year of the Fire Rooster, the most auspicious colours are also warm-toned. Think golds, yellows and browns.
Mummies:
Don’t want to show up looking too getai in an all-gold ensemble? Try pairing a white blouse with brown pants and instead simply accessorizing with chunky gold jewellery. Check out this blog for more lookspiration!
Daddies:
Don’t be afraid to throw in a splash of colour! Ever owned a pair of yellow pants? Maybe now’s the time – try this butter yellow pair from Forever 21 if you want something a little more subtle.
Kids:
Okay you know what, we’ll leave this part short – because the best part about your little ones is that they’re likely going to look adorable no matter what you put them in!
Where to buy outfits for Chinese New Year?
Chinatown is an obvious and safe bet, especially if you want to make a trip out of it and soak in the festive CNY vibes while you’re at it. Alternatively, and given the time constraint, it’s worth checking out your neighbourhood shopping centres! There are pop-up stores all over shopping centres from Pasir Ris to Joo Koon. You might also want to explore Level 2 of Bugis Junction – we spotted price slashes of up to 50% for men’s, women’s and children’s outfits!
