As we all prepare for the New Year festivities, a pressing question arises: “What should you wear to not only look fabulous but also attract good luck?” Well, THE WED team is here to help you assemble the perfect outfit approved by the Wood Dragon for 2024. The symbol of the Wood Dragon, highly esteemed and beloved in Chinese culture, is believed to bring luck, prosperity, and new opportunities.
In Chinese astrology, each year, following a 12-year cycle, is represented by a specific animal sign and one of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. 2024 marks the Year of the Wood Dragon, a wise mythical creature known for its positive influence.
To enhance your good fortune, we recommend embracing the Dragon’s favorite colors as you step into 2024. The key rule this time is the more color and sparkle, the merrier. Think metals, passionate reds, and emerald greens.
Green
The color of renewal, growth, healing, and harmony perfectly resonates with the Wood Dragon’s spirit. Incorporate natural greens reminiscent of leaves, moss, or emerald into your New Year party ensemble. Add green accents with makeup, accessories, or green-stoned jewelry.
Red
A win-win color for your New Year party look, red is not only the hottest shade of the season but also considered the luckiest color in Chinese culture. It symbolizes wealth, happiness, and confidence—qualities appreciated by the Dragon.
Purple
Charming and mysterious, purple embodies leadership, luxury, and power—qualities loved by the Dragon. Opt for rich and deep hues instead of lighter pastels when choosing the perfect purple piece for your New Year ensemble.
Gold
Choosing something sparkly and shiny, like gold, is believed to attract exciting possibilities and good fortune. Whether it’s white gold or yellow gold, sprinkle some in your party wardrobe to gain the Wood Dragon’s approval.
Silver
Similar to gold, silver represents financial success and positive changes. Say “Yes” to sequined-trimmed tops, skirts, and dresses in silver for your New Year’s look.
Brown
A perfect addition to your New Year party outfit, brown, especially in its chocolate shade, aligns with the Wood element. Pair it with lighter pieces like golden-beige to make the brown pop and create a stylish, balanced look.
White
For those aiming for a clean start in 2024, consider wearing something white. Pure and classy, white seamlessly blends into the festive vibe and captures the essence of winter with its snowy charm. Opt for elegant fabrics like satin, silk, and organza.
