When my Aunt May and her family visited my mum and I on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I noticed that most of us were decked in shades of red. Even their maid wore red. Red clothing is commonly worn throughout the Chinese New Year because it is believed that red will scare away evil spirits and bad fortune. The Chinese will also wear new clothes from head to toe to symbolize a new beginning for the new year. Wearing new clothes also symbolizes having more than enough things to use and wear in the year ahead.
