Welcoming the Lunar New Year has long gone hand in hand with refreshing one’s wardrobe as a symbolic gesture of optimism, renewal and readiness for the year ahead. As we usher in the Year of the Horse, themes of movement, protection and looking forward naturally take centre stage, with fashion houses leaning into auspicious details and structure to mark the occasion. From stunning reds we’ve come to expect, to subtle and symbolic motifs, the collections this season carry the feeling of fortune beyond the festivities as — rather than fleeting statements — brands are crafting Lunar New Year offerings that embrace both longevity and mindful indulgence.
Gucci and Fauré Le Page, for instance, approach the season through the lens of legacy, reworking iconic house emblems into refined designs with enduring appeal. And at Sandro, a Parisian springtime elegance is woven in for looks that’ll last past the merry season. If you’re in search of pieces you won’t want to wear just once, read ahead to discover the collections both celebrating the Year of the Horse and fitting you for the new year.
The Best Fashion Brands for Lunar New Year 2026:
Gucci
Gucci’s Lunar New Year campaign, The Gathering, is centred on moments that feel familiar and familial. Shared meals, conversations around the lazy susan, and memories with family—the good and the bad—the 2026 festive season for Gucci is about connection. Featuring a close-knit cast, including lovebirds Davika Hoorne and “Ter” Chantavit Dhanasevi, the campaign styles its stars in the maison’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, La Famiglia.
Among the pieces in the collection, the monogrammed GG coat as seen on Davika, otherwise known as the “La V.I.C”, is for those who are looking for timeless outerwear that also doubles as a dress. In contrast, Ni Ni opted for a refined and polished all-black “Gallerista” look, accentuated with the gold GG Marmont pendant chain necklace. For a festive touch, the red “Incazzata” ensemble—with its bright red Wool natté coat as the highlight—adds a whimsical 1960s flair, perfect for the New Year celebrations.

Ralph Lauren
What better way to celebrate the Year of the Horse than with an equestrian touch? The Ralph Lauren Lunar New Year collection features pieces dipped in an auspicious shade of red—including knits, silk twill blouses, and Polo shirts. Bags such as The Ralph tote, shoulder bags and the Play bag from the Polo lineup are also available, now enriched not only in red but in a warm shade of tangerine to enliven any wardrobe.
The crowd favourite’s Polo Bear too, get festive. Along with the new equine friend, the print can be found on wool crewneck sweaters as well as the fleece hoodies from the menswear selection. From the men’s Polo offering, camp shirts and Oxford shirts—in corduroy or chambray—take the spotlight. These wardrobe staples are adorned with Chinese frog buttons and two pockets, recalling the elegant silhouette of traditional Tang jackets.

Fauré Le Page
Maison Fauré Le Page charges ahead with Lucky U—a festive collection inspired by the Year of the Horse with gorgeous reds and a horseshoe motif—to welcome protection into the new year. The horseshoe, an enduring symbol of strength and good fortune, is unveiled as a sculptural “U” in the collection, in subtle reference to the house’s metalwork legacy and signature scale pattern. Detailed with seven hobnail-like scales as a nod to luck and resilience, each piece oozes with elegance in a limited-edition canvas.
The collection spans refined everyday essentials, including wallets, totes and the practical yet fashionable Daily Battle Vertical and more, designed with a distinctly unisex appeal. Polished, refined and radiant, Lucky U captures the optimism of the new year where fortune and prosperity feel close, and always in motion.

Tory Burch
Tory Burch’s Year of the Horse collection feels assured and confident, focusing on pieces that carry a refined presence. The palette of the festive collection is rich, paired with varying textures for contrast—perfect for welcoming the new year in an easy and elegant manner. As we’d expect from any festive collection, each piece is embedded with auspicious symbolism, but let’s be frank, we’ll be wearing these long after the celebrations.
For when you want to sparkle, the Kira Shoulder Bag in deep burgundy has a quilted finish, with chevron stitching to add dimension, while the dual T logo brings a soft gleam rather than a statement shine to an outfit. It’s a bag that settles naturally into your wardrobe, ready for festivities, parties, as well as daily routines—a true all-rounder.

The collection takes cues from movement and renewal, weaving in horse motifs and fluid lines. Even with relaxed and everyday silhouettes, fortune seems to find its wearer.
Among the highlights are the Milano Straight-Leg Trousers—a purchase that will outlive the celebratory season. Cut from structured Milano jerseys in a deep navy, they hold their shape while staying comfortable, finishing with pressed creases and clean tailoring for a put-together look. Embracing the season’s theme of longevity, an adaptable, smart pair of trousers is something you’ll return to week after week, and year after year—this one’s a snug fit in that category.
