CNY

Kids from Chinese families know to dress in shiny traditional red this festival to please their parents and relatives (for the red packets, of course!), While we are obviously too old to take on that outfit, there are ways to style festive colours which do not involve looking like mascots.

1. Try wearing a darker shade of red like burgundy, plum or maroon, and pair it with white or black.
2. Play up the details and accessories for a more festive look.

• Chloé Faye shoulder bag
• ​Uniqlo V neck cardigan
• Balmain "the day to evening" velvet clutch
• Christian Louboutin Tpoppins - Black Suede
• Acne Studios white mid-rise skinny jeans

3. Wear all-red (wisely) by mixing textures and shades.
4. Glam up with red lips.
Make sure to try out a few reds to see which one suits your skin colour!
