Chinese New Year will soon be upon us—are you sufficiently prepared for the Year of Snake? If you haven’t done your shopping, you’re in luck. We’ve created this Chinese New Year shopping guide just for you, featuring stylish designer picks in auspicious colours so you can ring in the Lunar New Year right.
Dressing up in vermillion shades for the Chinese New Year isn’t just a style thing. Tradition says that everyone should wear red during the celebrations as it is an auspicious colour representing prosperity and good luck.
However, that doesn’t mean you’ll need to dress in red from head to toe. Other bright colours are perfectly acceptable, and you’re still prosperous even if you only have one article of red in your outfit.

Store your New Year luck in these bags
Bags are an essential part of any Chinese New Year outfit. After all, how else will you store all those angpows you’ll be getting (or giving out)? The boys may not have as much variety as the ladies when it comes to bags in rich shades of red, but for this instance, we’re sure the elders will give you a pass.
Keep your red packets nice and cosy in this ultra-stylish Coach bag. If you’re channeling athleisure, this Gucci belt bags for men will certainly match your outfit. However, if you’re the sort that needs a large bag wherever you go, try this designer backpack for good measure.

Stun the crowd with designer ready-to-wear pieces
While most think you must wear red during the Chinese New Year festivities, modern celebrations are rarely the case. Of course, wearing black and dark, moody colours are still a no-no. Bright colours and prints are the way to go. After all, don’t you want to start the new year with a sunny disposition?
For starters, you can’t go wrong with a button-up shirt in pink. If you prefer something a little more casual, try multi-coloured printed sweatshirt instead. Pair it with light-coloured pants for extra style points.

Walk into the Lunar New Year in style
Some Chinese families practice a culture of buying and wearing new shoes on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It’s significant because the new shoes symbolise not allowing anyone to “step” all over you in the coming year. Of course, we love any excuse to buy new designer shoes to add to our collection.

Embrace wealth with splendid jewellery
Naturally, you can’t miss out on jewellery to complete your Chinese New Year outfit. Part of how you dress and decorate your home for the celebrations is to “attract wealth” with items that symbolise prosperity. What better way to do that than with sophisticated jewellery pieces?
The Tissot watch can be your power accessory move on the first day of the Chinese New Year—no one can say no to that gorgeous timepiece and its teal ombre dial. Amp up the gold factor with the TOMEI Ring. These words of affirmation will surely increase your chances of a prosperous Year of Snake. The LITZ 916 (22K) Gold Bangle is a more subdued version but still has enough gold to usher in wealth for the coming year.
