Red is the Color of Money: The Chinese New Year Guide to Designer Fashion - Luxe Living

During Chinese New Year (February 5, 2019), red is everywhere. It hangs on the walls as lanterns and decorations, given to children through shiny envelopes called âng-pau, or worn on the body as festive garments. To the Chinese, red is an important color for their culture. It is the color of fire, which symbolizes good luck and good fortune.

It isn’t unusual for members of the family to sport red outfits while reigning in the New Year. In preparation for your celebratory events for the Year of the Earth Pig, we thought we’d compile a list of the latest red garments released by our favorite designer labels…
