Here are a couple of ways to incorporate these colors in your wardrobe without looking like a walking red Chinese packet or a gold bar:
__________________________________________________________________

INNER SHIRTING COLLAR:

 

 

 

Match the lucky colors inside the collar and the inner cuffs of your shirt sleeves to boost you luck.

A good example would be white with pink underneath. Classic and not over the top.

In our Bespoke Shop, you can have the freedom to choose your cloths according to your taste. 

 

 

 

 

ACCESSORIES:

Match your tie and pocket square using your lucky colors works well too. Here are some of the examples. Click here for our ties selection.

 

     

LINING:

You can match your lining color to your lucky color this year. I would suggest to choose a color that you are most comfortable with. 

Hope you guys have a great ending to 2018 and lets all move forward together into a good year 2019!
