Like any event that sees friends and families gather to celebrate, feast and generally revel in the festive atmosphere, Lunar New Year calls for a fabulous outfit. Symbolising good luck, red is worn to bring good fortune into the new year, though the way the shade is used can vary from the understated to the outrageous.

Maybe you consider yourself on the more refined side of things, opting for just a touch of red and leaning further into accessories. Or though you’re never one to shy away from colour and would rather throw yourself in head-first with a monochromatic red look, beauty included. Whichever camp you’re in, here we curate two Lunar New Year looks for the demure to the daring.

For the more demure

Black and white provide a perfect backdrop to accessorise with poppy red accessories. Start with Dior’s playful bubble-hemmed tulle mini skirt and Scanlan Theodore’s crisp white shirt, then add some flair with the accessories.
