Style Tips And More To Ring In Prosperity For 2025
Bienvenue en 2025! There’s something so invigorating about the clean slate of a new year. It’s the ideal time to start fresh and set intentions. On January 29th, we’ll enter the year of the wooden snake. According to the Chinese zodiac, the snake represents wisdom and transformation, while the element wood symbolises creativity and growth. Quelle chance !
To take advantage of this unique time, we’ve put together a guide to setting intentions for 2025, from what to wear to mindful practices.
Dress For Prosperity
Just as sequins are a quintessential part of the New Year’s wardrobe in the West, red is a must to ring in the Lunar New Year. The fiery colour symbolises joy, luck, and prosperity in many Eastern countries, including China and Japan. Dress in a bold palette of red to invite good fortune into the year ahead.
Accessorise For Abundance
The snake zodiac and wood element are both deeply tied to nature and growth. We can synchronise with this year's bountiful energy by incorporating earthy tones into our lives. Arrange potted or hanging plants in your home and accessorise your outfits with green accents to foster abundance in 2025.
Clear Out The Clutter
Make space for new opportunities, both mentally and physically, with a deep clean. Decluttering is a New Year’s tradition in many cultures that allows us to let go of the past and start fresh. Like a snake sheds its skin, this is your sign to roll up your sleeves and finally clear out that closet or cabinet space you meant to get to last year.
Articulate Your Goals
Lastly, writing down your plans for the future is a powerful way to manifest change. Not only does this practice help you organise your thoughts, but neuroscience has also shown a correlation between vividly describing your goals and achieving them. While resolutions are one of the oldest New Year’s traditions, the snake zodiac is associated with strategy and patience, making this year a particularly ideal time to set long-term plans in motion.
Bonne année et à bientôt!
