If you have been bidding your time to shop for Chinese New Year, chances are that you might be too spoilt for choice. Besides the trove of exclusive festive capsules available to usher in the new year, it may be time to think out of the box. While capsules often embody the season, one might consider a more timeless approach to their Year of the Dragon haul. A festive wardrobe rotation with little throwaways and single-use pieces is a sustainable angle to consider if that’s within your 2024 resolutions.
How do we keep our attire in theme but also wearable on other occasions? When shopping, focus on colours of the season rather than emblematic prints and sigils. Spicing it up with a palette of orange and pink can also be quite apt and attention-grabbing for the season, especially in the sea of red garments that your family and friends will most likely be donning. For individuals who are inclined towards the more minimalist end of things, accents of the above colours go a long way. Look for accessories like earrings, bracelets, shoes or a classic bag to supplement a neutral ensemble (black is a no-no, if you aren’t already aware).
Still unsure where to find timeless picks for the season? Not to worry, you can peruse Vogue Singapore’s picks below for Chinese New Year-appropriate items that you can wear all year round.
