The best Chinese New Year 2022 capsule collections

According to the Chinese calendar, spring, i.e. Chinese New Year, is upon us again. A joyous harmonious spirit is looming in the air, which signifies hope, prosperity and abundant blessings. It sounds pretty much like what we’re used to every Chinese New Year: spring cleaning, mass-ordering of snacks, workout plans post-festivities, and last but never least—new customary looks to flaunt.

This Chinese New Year, a dominant animal is setting our mood boards ablaze—of equal parts tenacity and allure. The Year of the tiger fears no one; in fact, it’s an emblem to behold with confidence. On the shopping front, tiger stripes immediately come to mind when we think of the majestic feline and Saint Laurent concurs that you can never really go out of style with the iconic print.

At Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo, the big cat is seen dancing across a bed of dreamy florals; Max Mara dials up on the red factor; and if you’re feeling more pastel than ostentatious, Miu Miu has got a few ideas. Otherwise, to make a bold entrance, Dolce&Gabbana intersperses vivid colours with the cat print, even in the form of bucket hats, so you can duck from pesky relatives if need be. Finally, to curb our city’s sweltering weather, consider living in Kenzo’s silk shirt, accented with tigers, of course.
