Year of the Dragon: The best fashion collections to shop now

Every year the Japanese-founded French fashion house Kenzo creates a Lunar New Year collection of ready-to-wear pieces for both men and women. This year my favourite item from the collection is this hooded sweatshirt, complete with a large embroidered dragon in red, yellow and green on the back.

In an online exclusive Versace has ‘Barbie-fied’ their iteration of the lunar new year symbol, embroiding a giant pink dragon motif onto the front of a classic white t-shirt. I love how Versace has made this their own whilst still celebrating.

Made from 100% organically grown cotton, this Paul Smith sweatshirt is perfect for every season. Complete with a number of small embroidered red dragons on both the front and back, this would look amazing on New Year's night with a sequin red mini skirt and pair of knee-high boots.

Ultimate French girl-coded brand Maje has come to play this LNY with a collection of dragon-inspired delights. My favourite has to be this denim jacket imprinted with tiny dragon motifs. Tres chic!

Unfortunately, this necklace is not yet available to shop, but I have a sneaky suspicion it won’t be long before it’s live. In true Bottega fashion, this Dragon necklace is as luxurious as it gets. Made from hand-enamelled 18k gold-finished sterling silver, each fragment is designed to move like how a dragon's tail would.

Keep cosy and warm on February 10th with a Lunar New Year-inspired Burberry cashmere scarf. I love how this scarf can be reversed to show either the iconic Equestrian Knight Design or a buttery yellow block colour.

Specifically crafted for the year of the dragon, this Swarovski timepiece is the epitome of Swarovski’s famed savoir-faire. The case is set on an adjustable metal bracelet that has been adorned with leather featuring a dragon-skin print, while the case back is also engraved with a dragon-skin print and the year 2024. Of course, the face has also been encrusted with an array of clear crystals to mark the hour's. 

This is possibly the cutest Lunar New Year dedicated collection io have ever seen. Famed fashion giant Fendi has teamed up with  FRGMT and Pokémon to create a range of pieces adorned with Pokémon’s very own dragon character, Dragonite. I love the colourway of this luxurious 100% silk shirt and love it even more knowing there's also a pair of matching pants to go with.

Keeping things causally cool, as per usual, Off-White has launched a special, limited edition pair of 2024 Lunar New Year Out Of Office sneakers. The red and white colourway is perfect for both celebrating the New Year and staying on trend, as after all, red is still on every notable fashion mogul’s favourite colour list.

If you're a football fan, specifically a Manchester City then this jersey is for you, and it might just bring you and your favourite team a little luck.
