How to Wear Red: 15 Streetstyle-approved Chinese New Year outfit ideas
mis à jour le 12 February 2018 à 10:4315 more reasons why you should wear red for the festivities this Chinese New Year!
At the risk of sounding like a traditionalist (and that naggy relative we all have), we have to concede that we believe - no, love - rocking the colour red during Chinese New Year.
In case you're not sold on rocking this hue for the festivities, here's a brief background on the symbolism of the siren shade: in Chinese culture, red represents good fortune and joy, which is why it's symbolic to start the new year on that note.
Granted, you might think it's so cliched or date to wear red during the festivities. However, on the contrary, beyond its cultural significance, red can be such a fresh, on-trend colour to rock all season-round, with Chinese New Year being no exception.
So if you're not one to bust the cheongsam, but want to still honour the tradition of wearing red on CNY, get inspired on how you can wear this shade this Lunar New Year in the gallery above!
