How to dress according to your lucky colours in 2019
Make 2019 your best year yet by dressing in your lucky colours
image

According to the Chinese horoscope, 2019 is the Year of the Earth Boar. In order to balance the energy flow during this year, colour choices should represent the elements of Fire and Metal as they are complementary to Earth.

In layman terms, it means that the general lucky colours for 2019 should represent either a burning flame or shiny minerals. Think of hues like red, orange and pink for fire, as well as white, gold and silver for metal.

However, nothing is universal — each zodiac has its own auspicious shade for the year. Dying to find out what’s yours? Check out our list below:
