If you’re celebrating Chinese New Year, then you know that it began on January 22. But like with any event in the social calendar, there’s always a reason to think about what you might wear for such an occasion.

I wanted to know how much you needed to stick to traditional ways of dressing but also how to avoid offending anyone. She gave me three tips anyone can easily follow, but she also pointed out the one thing you shouldn’t do when picking out your look.
While traditions are still present, the event has definitely become more modern, so it’s surprisingly simple to find an outfit. Keep scrolling for four dressing rules to follow for Chinese New Year.
