CNY 2019 is around the corner, which means it’s time to temporarily ditch the Marie Kondo philosophy for the ‘more-is-more’ rhetoric. After all, the spring cleaning you’ve done has made space in your wardrobe for a few more outfits. Here are some CNY looks that will please even the harshest of critics (i.e your ah-ma).
If you predict you’ll be playing more than a few rounds of mahjong this CNY, slip into something chic yet comfortable so you can mo pai with ease. We recommend Love, Bonito’s Pomeranc Mandarin Collar Crop Top in Vermillion ($39.90) and Livienne High Waist Sash Pants in Wisteria ($53.90).
Chinese New Year is a yearly challenge for those of us who feel our best in black. There’s just no other hue that as accurately represents the darkness of our souls, amirite?
Fortunately, Pomelo has blessed us with the Midi Two Tone Floral Wrap Dress ($64). A modern take on the cheongsam, this pretty piece is floral enough to please our grandmothers, yet black enough so we still feel fashun.

If you’re the type of girl who isn’t afraid to sprawl on the grass in your grandparents’ backyard just to get The Shot, this ensemble’s for you.
The fuschia tones of Pomelo’s Chinese Frog Knot Cami Jumpsuit ($45.99) ensure your outfit pops against a variety of backdrops, while Love, Bonito’s Alexa Circular Handle Bag in White ($16.90) is the most stylish ang pow carrier a girl can get.
I mean, if you didn’t take an OOTD during CNY, did you even CNY?
No rich husband, no problem. Feel and look expensive in Love, Bonito’s Roxith Cape Sleeve Midi Dress in Vermillion ($49.90), a luxe number that looks best paired with minimalist accessories and a bright red lip.
With this dress on, drinking packet chrysanthemum tea at your cousin’s place will feel like you’re sipping on Imperial Oolong at TWG.
If you want to attract abundance and prosperity into your life, you better look the part too. Thankfully, online shopping in Singapore means we don’t have to jostle with crowds to get our festive frocks. Huat ah!

No, I did not find the love of my life here.
