Chinese New Year is a time to dress up and celebrate with your family.
And when it comes to your outfit, you don’t want to put on just anything. It should be something special to mark the occasion. More often than not, Singaporeans are experimenting with more traditional CNY themed clothes to get themselves in the Lunar mood.

Little Qipao, a mainstay of Singapore’s children’s clothes market, specialize in kids’ cheongsam, a traditional Chinese dress. While their collections are inspired by the past, their designs are created with the modern consumer in mind. Their 2019 collection is bursting with color, making it the perfect addition to your CNY celebrations. Thanks to their Chinese heritage, any of their colorful cheongsam will fit in well but we, of course, recommend opting for any of their red numbers.
