This Lunar New Year, elevate your style and attract good fortune with these three must-have accessories.
1. Vibrant Headbands
Headbands are a magical accessory that instantly enhances any look. They can transform your hairstyle and add a striking touch to your ensemble, especially during festive occasions like the Lunar New Year. Opt for colorful headbands to brighten up your outfit and embrace the celebratory spirit.

A wide, highly saturated red headband not only adds a unique vintage touch but also keeps your hair in place. Note that red is a bold color, so pair it with black, white, or more red for a stunning combination.
Aside from red, a light pink headband exudes sweetness when paired with dark hair. For a harmonious look, match your outfit to the color of your headband.
White headbands brighten your face and complement any hair color. For a more sophisticated touch, incorporate pearl accessories to create a focal point.
Tortoise-shell headbands offer a classic and elegant alternative, complementing both light and dark hair colors while enhancing the overall pattern of your outfit.
Knit headbands are also popular this year, providing warmth and a playful touch to your style. However, thick knit headbands can make your face appear smaller, so those with rounder faces should opt for thinner, less fitted styles.
For a creative twist, fashion-forward Parisians often use silk scarves as headbands, adding an artistic and unique flair to their ensembles.
2. Lucky Gold Jewelry
During the Lunar New Year, don’t miss the opportunity to adorn yourself with jewelry that attracts wealth and exudes elegance. Gold has a unique allure that enhances any outfit. If genuine gold is out of your budget, gold-plated accessories can also elevate your look, as long as they appear high-quality.
Simple gold earrings, paired with red lips and a black outfit, evoke a captivating Hong Kong-inspired style.
Experiment with different earring styles, from long to short and big to small, to find the perfect match for your face shape.
If you feel that a single pair of earrings isn’t enough, complement them with a matching gold ring and watch for a cohesive look.
Gold jewelry adds a bold touch to any outfit, while pairing it with white creates a regal and relaxed vibe.
3. Stylish Scarves
Scarves are timeless accessories that remain fashionable despite changing trends. Over the centuries, scarves have evolved in design, fabric, and color, but their primary purpose—to keep you warm and stylish—has endured.
In the colder regions of the north, scarves serve both functional and fashionable purposes. A red scarf, symbolic of the Lunar New Year, will instantly elevate any outfit.
If you find a red scarf too bold, opt for a classic white scarf to brighten your look.
Knit scarves, a popular trend in 2024, can also be seamlessly incorporated into your 2025 Lunar New Year wardrobe.
In the warmer climates of central and southern regions, pairing a silk scarf with an áo dài (traditional Vietnamese dress) exudes sophistication and grace.
