The Chinese New Year 2023 of the Water Rabbit also known as the Lunar New Year begins on the 22st of January, 2023.
Besides the usual preparations, decorations, and food prepared for New Year, those who celebrate this event should wear new clothes, in order to attract luck and happiness to their side. All of these aspects symbolize the idea of change, the idea of a new beginning.
If all your clothes aren’t brand new, don’t worry. It is enough to wear at least one new accessory and the effect will be the same. The new thing that you are wearing will help the New Year prevail over the old one and all your troubles and disappointments which you have faced will wither away, and the New Year will be able to bring good health, happiness, and good luck!
In China, traditionally, the people wear Qipao (traditional dress for women) or a cheongsam (traditional suit for men). Also, men wear the Tang suit (唐装 / táng zhuāng), which consists of a jacket that combines the riding jacket “Man” (from the Qing dynasty) and the occidental dress.
The old traditions say that you should wear red on Chinese New Year in order to drive away evil spirits. In addition to that, you can combine them with the lucky Feng Shui colors of the year 2023. Although, you should avoid black and white, due to their heavy association traditionally with mourning.
