Good fortune, wealth, happiness and longevity: these are the key foundations that symbolise Chinese New Year. People around the world are currently celebrating the Year of the Monkey by honouring ancient traditions.

Cleaning house and discarding unwanted things are the initial activities in the run-up to the beginning of the festivities. After the clean-up, purchasing new clothes to wear during the 15-day celebration period symbolises a fresh start into the New Year. To mark the new beginning in a stylish manner, following are 5 fashion items to add to your closet that should spread good fortune:

1. Beaded prom dress, £235, Karen Millen

Inspired by the colour red symbolising good luck, this exquisite embroidered red dress is from Karen Millen’s 20-piece Lunar New Year capsule collection.
