The biggest night of the year is fast approaching. Have you given any thought to how you'll welcome 2020? Now is the moment to plan your attire, add-ons, and hairstyle. Which shade should you pick to win over the White Metal Rat?
Attracting Good Fortune on New Year's Eve
Feng Shui practitioners advise incorporating these hues into both clothing and home décor: pale yellow, violet, gold, gray or silver, white, blue, and green. Let's examine what each color represents in greater depth.
Pale Yellow

This tone embodies hope and a positive outlook. It is closely tied to feelings of joy and coziness. After all, who doesn't wish for happiness in the coming year? Many people shy away from yellow because it doesn't suit everyone and can be tricky to pair. But there is a workaround! If a yellow gown feels too risky, opt for bright accessories in that shade—like spectacles or a belt.
Violet

For centuries, this hue was regarded as truly regal due to its scarcity and high cost. It signifies grace, romance, and femininity. With purple, moderation is key. If you pick a dress in this color, steer clear of clashing shades and bulky jewelry to avoid looking overdone. Decorate your home with lilac tones or choose violet lighting for a trendy party. Incidentally, deep magenta pairs nicely with yellow, blue, and orange.
Gold

This shade stands for wisdom, prosperity, enlightenment, power, triumph, and joy. It also represents task completion, premium quality, and a business-oriented focus. Gold is the color of sunlight, heat, passion, and love. Feel free to wear a golden dress or suit. It harmonizes well with red, orange, green, brown, and purple.
Gray or Silver

This neutral shade conveys comfort, safety, dependability, wisdom, motherhood, and compromise. Silver dresses have long been linked to New Year festivities and are an ideal pick for honoring the White Metal Rat. Interestingly, gray blends well with light blue and purple.
White

White symbolizes perfection, purity, safety, simplicity, generosity, morality, and flawlessness. If you'd rather not sport a white dress or suit for the New Year bash, dress your holiday table, Christmas tree, and room in this shade—and luck will follow!
Blue or Light Blue

This color represents peace, relaxation, hope, good health, serenity, harmony, trust, and security. Concepts like creativity, intellect, inspiration, art, advancement, freedom, infinity, comfort, and stability are deeply connected to it. Adorn your party table in blue hues or choose a blue dress—you'll be stunning!
Green

This is nature's own color—the shade of spring and vegetation. It signifies a fresh start and life energy. Pick green home décor, such as Christmas ornaments, candles, and napkins. Even better, go for an emerald dress or turquoise outfit on New Year's Eve.
Which Accessories to Pick?

Once you've settled on your outfit and its hue, it's time to consider accessories. The hot trend this New Year's season is star-shaped jewelry. These can adorn handbags, shoes, wallets, necklaces, belts, and clothing. Additionally, feathers have made a comeback. They draw the eye and highlight the accessory. For instance, you could embellish a hat with a lovely, elegant feather.
Regarding fabrics, smooth textures are preferable. Keep this in mind: leather and patent accessories matched to your New Year's ensemble look especially stylish. Incidentally, if classic, flowing, feminine materials aren't your thing, feel free to choose cashmere or latex. Both are currently trendy.
And Your Hair?

When deciding on a hairstyle for New Year's Eve, factor in your hair type and length. But note that sleek, silky hair is in vogue this season. Long, well-maintained curls appear attractive and feminine. After washing, dry your hair with a blow-dryer using a large round brush. This tames unruly strands and adds extra volume.
If you have bangs, you can simply curl the ends slightly. This style flatters every face shape. By the way, bangs are currently fashionable—thick, long, with individual strands. They are likely to catch people's attention. As for coloring, trending shades include coffee-brown, red-brown, and purple. But if you're not up for experiments, just book a colorist to refresh your current shade.
How to Decorate Your Home?

Feng Shui experts and designers agree that home decoration should prioritize purple, white, and green. Deep purple contrasts nicely with black, white, violet, and cream. Various shades of green can be combined to foster a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
Another good approach is mixing colors in interior design—for example, calm blue with yellow. You can also play with contrast. Decorators suggest pairing orange with blue, yellow with green, red with black, and purple with pink. Incidentally, the boldest can try truly daring combinations: glossy black with red, or purple with red. However, these work only in spacious rooms.
In smaller rooms, light green, blue, and yellow are especially effective. They create an illusion of more space. For a more intimate setting, choose subdued tones like brown, beige, and yellow rather than flashy ones. And remember, if you use purple, it should not dominate.
