5 Ways to Work the Colour Red Into Your Office Attire

Here’s to good wealth and fortune!

While the first day of the year might seem like forever ago as some of us are back to the daily grind, New Year festivities for others are only just beginning with Saturday 25th January marking the start of the Lunar New Year - the first new moon of the lunar calendar.

Typically celebrated by the Chinese and other cultures around the world, some celebratory traditions include extravagant parades, 10-course meals, offering envelopes of money, and wearing red. The colour red is a symbol of good luck, believed to scare away spirits of bad fortune, so whether you celebrate the Lunar New Year or not, to add the bold shade to their palette wherever you can.

And for those not completely sold on superstitions, adding a pop of red to your workwear wardrobe is an easy and refreshing way to add colour to your 9-5 normalities like black, white, navy and grey. Here are some of our favourites.
