Refresh Your CNY Look With These Outfits Under RM250
CNY is the time to meet your relatives and friends, some of whom you only meet once a year, so you want to dress to impress, right? Get into the festive mood by shopping for outfits from these shops that still won’t break the bank and some shops carry sizes to suit all shapes:
Florette the Label
Instead of traditional cheongsams, the pieces at Florette the Label have been designed with a modern twist. We absolutely love their Peranakan tile patterned mandarin collar wrap dress which gives it some Malaysian flavour and that can be easily adjusted once you’ve had one too many hotpot meals. If you find dresses hard to sit in, opt for one of their mandarin collar wrap tops so that you can truly relax after greeting everyone and collecting angpows.
Prices range from RM104 to RM239.
Dreamscape
Show off your gams (Editor's note: I thought this was a typo and had to google what gams were. They're your thighs) with mini qipaos coupled along with two slits on the side–– and if red is too ostentatious for you, check out this one in a feminine mint shade. Otherwise, if you want to feel like a ‘tai tai’ for the day, you’ll want to get this long qipao that is glamorous yet understated with delicate lace details as well as pearls and beads across the top.
Prices range from RM85 to RM192
The Black Bow
The Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ just became Netflix’s third most-watched show so far so if you want to channel the Addams family character, you can add this oriental all-black short dress to your cart.
If you feel conscious about your arms, this lacy floral cheongsam will be the perfect fit for you and adds a graceful touch.
Prices range from RM99 to RM189
Inch Perfect
If you like to show off a ‘lil skin, this Rui Shi Embroidered Corset is a must-have and if you’re looking to catch the eye of someone special during the festive season, its satin-stitched embroidery design will do the trick. Dresses aren’t your thing? Pick up this jumpsuit with gold waves so that you can feel like a supermodel with each stride.
Prices range from RM49 to RM220
The Daily Lab
Heng! Ong! Huat! It’s undeniable that many things about CNY revolve around money so this cash money overshirt is sure to be a talking point. Want to wear matching outfits with your significant other? These vintage Chinese Tang suits go up to XXXL sizes. We also totally dig their ‘lucky’ socks!
Prices range from RM20 to RM85
