Chinese New Year is around the corner and you can tell by the amount of red on display especially on mannequins in clothing stores located in shopping malls.
Red is the standard color of CNY, but what if you want to wear a blue dress or just not feeling a bold red shirt on the first day, without bringing dishonor to your family?
Here are some subtle ways to have red in your CNY outfits:
1. Nails
Your nails say a lot about you, and what better time to get them done than in the festive season?
With so many nail parlors around the town, you’re bound to find one that’s both affordable and has great quality!
2. Earrings
Dangly earrings are all the rage right now. Several jewelry stores have hopped on the trend and offer a bunch of dangly earrings of almost all colors, red included!
3. Bandana
They’re coming back, bigger and redder than ever! Super trendy AND it keeps your hair from your face? A win-win!
You can even tie in around your neck or on your bag for that pop of color.
4. Phone case
Nothing like spicing up your phone with a bit of red! There are a bunch of phone accessory stores popping up everywhere, offering cheap and high-quality phone covers!
5. Lipsticks
It’s a no brainer – bold, bright, beautiful red lips that make your cousins go ‘why are you wearing so much makeup?’
6. Eyeliner
Yes, eyeliner! Spice up your eye look with red eyeliner – even if it’s dark red. The best part? You can even use eye-safe lipsticks for this – save some $$$.
7. Bags
Bags come in funky and bright colors nowadays and we’re all on board. Whether it’s a clutch, shoulder bag or sling bag – there’s bound to be a red one that’s great for CNY and all year around!
8. Hats
The first things most people notice is your hat – so make a statement out of it. Whether it’s something casual like a cap or more formal like a beret, a red hat is something worth rocking at any CNY event!
