3 Ways to Make CNY Fashion More Affordable

According to Chinese tradition, wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year symbolises a new start and fresh hopes. So, with CNY just around the corner, apparel-buying may be on your to-do list. Given how much you've already spent for CNY, however, you may be worried about your thinning wallet. You're not alone. According to a poll held by the United Overseas Bank , an average Singaporean intends to spend an average of S$2,503 during the festive period.

There’s also an additional advantage to shopping online instead of in-store–you'll never be short on inspiration for what to wear for CNY. Many online retailers feature fashion edits that highlight outfits suitable for CNY. Some local blogshops, like the MGP label, The Closet Lover, and Anticlockwise even go the extra mile to launch CNY-themed collections. Many blogshops also offer 10% off your first purchase, so be sure to make use of available first-timer voucher codes where possible.

Buy Pieces That Will Work in a Capsule CollectionIf you're a female looking for a suitable CNY dress, you may wish to reconsider opting for a cheongsam–a one-piece, traditional ethnic clothing. As classy as they are, cheongsams are rarely worn for everyday occasions and will most likely languish in the back of your closet after CNY. Besides, with most retailing at about S$30 per piece, they're pretty expensive for a 'one-time use' fashion piece.

If You Want To Stand Out, Get Quirky CNY Themed ShirtsIf you really want to stand out and be remembered for your choice of clothing this CNY, why not consider getting a quirky CNY-themed shirt? You don’t have to be dressed head-to-toe in new apparel; a new T-shirt holds the same lucky symbolism, after all. These T-shirts can also be a fantastic conversation starter, perfect for relieving any awkwardness from meeting up with relatives you haven’t seen in a long time.
