How you can wear your lucky colour with you all the time

Have you already planned an auspicious outfit inspired by your Zodiac animal and lucky colour for Chinese New Year? You might be missing out on an important aspect of your outfit!

And while you want to keep your lucky colours close to you, there’s one extremely easy way to go about it: your intimates. Here, we’ve scoured the stores for the most stylish lingerie (in every colour for every zodiac animal) that is easily incorporated into your everyday life. 

1. WHITE: Rat, Ox, Rooster, Dog

Founded by homegrown Singapore girl Kate Low, Perk by Kate was conceived with the ambition to have lingerie brands such as Samantha Chang and Claudette there were not available in Singapore to be sold in one place.

Since then, the e-commerce store now has its own in-house label famous for their fluttery and delicate lace designs.

Take, for instance, Perk by Kate’s Aurora Strappy Push Up Padded Bralette. Crafted into an elegant push-up style for maximum comfort and visual appeal, the Aurora in white is complete and pure, offering a sense of peace and calm. What we love most about this bra is the front strap detail that adds a touch of femininity and sex appeal to your look.
