I spent
much of my childhood years celebrating Chinese New Year dressed in a red and
gold qípáo. Having since moved away from home, slipping into a traditional
qípáo, though sleek, felt more impractical for casual gatherings. Though far from home, I hold Chinese New Year
traditions close to my heart and throughout the year, hunt for modern pieces with
red accents.
This Ted
Baker jacket in particular is to die for!
A jacket so perfect, it could sit in your closet as a stand-alone piece
of art. Reinvented with lux
fabrications, detailed embroidery, and rich pops of color, this bomber
incorporates elements found in traditional Chinese attire with a chic modern
silhouette.
Once an aviators staple jacket, the bomber has made it’s way
into countless fashion houses and closets worldwide… and it seems to be a trend
that’s here to stay. This timeless piece
will pair with just about anything in your closet.
I pieced this outfit together mixing textures and
fabrications. Silky black loungewear
juxtaposed with an intricate jacket was the perfect balance of yin and
yang. The jacket could have just as
easily been dressed up or down - thrown over a chic dress for a night out or
worn with jeans for a casual everyday look.
Chinese New Years is coming up this week, hope you’re
celebrating in style with some red, glitter, and a lux statement piece!
