It’s that time of the year where we figure out if our Chinese zodiac sign falls under the lucky or unlucky category. Since this year’s the year of the Fire Rooster, fellow Roosters your luck is not looking very good this year. According to Chinese astrology, the Chinese zodiac year of your birth sign is the most unlucky year in the 12-year cycle. Other zodiacs that fall under the unlucky category are the Dog, Rabbit and Horse zodiac.
But in theory, 2017 will be the best for those born under the rule of the Dragon, but also great for Ox and Serpent, along with the Tiger and the Rat zodiac. Whereas for Pigs, Goats and Monkeys it will be an average or relative year depending on how you run your show.
If you are under the Rooster zodiac, it is advisable to avoid red colour and go for your lucky colours which are gold, brown, and yellow. Head to Zalora to find the perfect outfit!
Whereas, the other zodiacs can go for red hues that are in favour or complement of the fire Rooster element. Colours from the Wood element such as Greens and Browns can enhance your luck too. Such as these pieces from COS Chinese New Year and Spring Summer 2017 collection.
But take note, the colours to avoid are blues (Water element) and blacks (Earth element) which could clash with fiery red. If you only have black and blue lingerie, you can head to XIXILI or Triumph to shop for their Chinese New Year collection to add more red into your wardrobe.
But anyhow, fashion is all about mixing and matching so if you’re not superstitious, you can just play around with your favourite colours. Have a prosperous Chinese New Year!
