As we approach the vibrant celebrations of Lunar New Year on January 29, 2025, it's time to refresh your wardrobe and embrace the festive spirit. This year marks the Year of the Snake, symbolising renewal and transformation. Here’s a guide to key fashion pieces and styling tips to help you celebrate CNY in style, including standout options from Umbi’s collection, particularly their signature custom-made collar pieces.

Festive Colours: Embrace Red and Gold

Lunar New Year fashion traditionally revolves around red and gold, colours that symbolise good fortune and prosperity. Incorporate these hues into your outfits through:  

  • Dresses and Tops: Look for dresses or blouses in rich red tones adorned with intricate patterns or snake motifs to honour the zodiac year.  
  • Accessories: Add gold accents with statement jewellery, such as earrings or necklaces featuring snake designs, to elevate your festive look.  

Key Pieces for Your CNY Wardrobe

1. Traditional Attire with a Modern Twist

Consider wearing a cheongsam or baju kurung that blends traditional elements with contemporary styles. Look for pieces that incorporate modern cuts or unique fabrics while maintaining cultural significance.

2. Casual pieces from Umbi

3. Umbi Signature Custom-Made Collar Pieces 

One of Umbi Signature's standout offerings is their award-winning custom-made collar pieces. These unique accessories can transform any outfit into a statement look. Here's how to incorporate them:

  • Elevate Your Outfit: Pair a simple top or dress with a custom collar piece from Umbi to add a touch of elegance and individuality.
  • Versatile Styling: These collars can be styled in various ways—layered over blouses or worn with dresses—to create a distinctive look that reflects your personality.

4. Versatile Bottoms

Invest in versatile bottoms like tailored trousers or skirts that can be dressed up or down. Opt for styles in festive colours or subtle prints that complement your tops.

5. Comfortable Footwear

Choose stylish yet comfortable shoes for long hours of celebrating. From minimalist flats to fancy trainers, ensure your footwear allows you to move freely while looking fashionable.

Styling Tips for a Festive Look

  • Layering is Key: With Malaysia's warm climate, layering lightweight fabrics can add dimension to your outfit without overheating. Consider a light cardigan over a dress or blouse.
  • Mix Textures: Combine different textures like silk, cotton, and linen to create an interesting visual appeal while maintaining comfort.
  • Accessorise Thoughtfully: Use accessories to enhance your outfit—think red handbags, gold bangles, and festive scarves that tie your look together.  

As you prepare for the Lunar New Year 2025, remember that fashion is about expressing joy and celebrating culture. By incorporating festive colours, key pieces like those from Umbi’s casual pieces, and unique custom-made collar pieces, along with thoughtful styling tips, you can create stunning outfits that embody the season's spirit.
