The Best Streetwear for Lunar New Year in Australia

When putting together a list of the best streetwear for Lunar New Year, we have to consider the kicks – whether you’re rocking some tripled red Air Force 1’s or crisp whites with a red hit, we’ve got you covered. 

Tradition dictates that you should be wearing red for Lunar New Year, and you should be rocking a fresh fit from head to toe –  it symbolizes a fresh start for the new year, and who doesn’t want to get the year off to a great start?

Let’s dive in.

Supreme Cross Box Logo Tee White

You just knew there was going to be some Supreme in here didn’t you? The cross box logo tee released at the end of 2020 in a range of colours, all with the iconic box logo crossed over in red. A Supreme box logo is an iconic piece, which made this cross box logo variation much sought after from the moment it was released, and if you don’t yet have a Supreme tee in your wardrobe – this could be the moment.

Now, you could cop the red tee, but we think the white version does enough – it hits hard without being overpowering, and you can pair it with whatever kicks you’re busting out. Plus, it’s easier to wear for the rest of the year, long after the Lunar New Year celebrations are a distant memory.

Fear of God Essentials New Era Fitted Cap (FW20) Red/White

Fear of God Essentials streetwear is the hottest thing in the game right now, so it’s only right that the Fear of God Essentials New Era Fitted Cap is also a hot commodity.

The red colour dropped in late 2020, and like the rest of the collection was an instant sell out. Featuring a gothic F on the front, and coming in nine sizes from 7 to 8, it’s a strong look and gives you some versatility in your fit for Lunar New Year. Break it out for the celebrations, and then rock it all year. It’s a can’t miss.

BAPE Color Camo Big Ape Head T-Shirt (SS20) White/Red

Make no mistake, BAPE still goes hard – the brand has been doing it big since the 90’s, having a massive influence on hip hop and street fashion. Having BAPE in your wardrobe is kinda like having a Supreme tee or some Jordan 1’s – part of the history of our culture and something that will give you instant respect when you rock it. 

And this right here is the perfect tee for Lunar New Year, the BAPE Color Camo Big Ape Head T-Shirt features the iconic ape logo on the front in shades of red camo glory. The back features the reverse print – the back of the ape head, so everyone you pass knows you’re rocking something special. 

If you’re new to BAPE – their tees run smaller than most other brands so we recommend you size up.

Yeezy x Gap Hoodie Red

Can you get away with rocking a hoodie to your Lunar New Year festivities? You can if everyone knows it’s a Yeezy hoodie. The first release of hoodies from the Yeezy x GAP partnership, these dropped in September of 2021 and were an instant hit. Like everything else we get from Ye, there’s no big logos or flashy branding – the garment speaks for itself. 

It features a double layered cotton, with quality finishing throughout – this is one hoodie you’ll need to keep a close eye on to stop your housemates adopting it as their own. 

The red here isn’t a vivid, show-stopping red, more of a dusty, muted red that will allow you to blend in at your Lunar New Year festivities. And let’s be honest, sometimes it’s much better to keep a low profile than be the centre of attention.

Drew House Mascot Hoodie Red

Staying on that hoodie vibe but going away from Yeezy, say hello to the Drew House Mascot Hoodie in red. 

If you’re not familiar, Drew House is the label created by the one and only Justin Bieber (Drew being his middle name), and since he first started releasing pieces back in 2019, the brand has gone crazy. Mostly known for oversized sweats with a focus on comfort, Drew House has become a streetwear brand people need to know about. 

This Drew House Mascot Hoodie in red gives off just the right energy you need for Lunar New Year – you’re sticking to the script with the wave of red, but you’re doing it your way (and staying cozy to the core).

So there you have it – from Supreme t shirts to Drew House hoodies, you’ve got the best streetwear for Lunar New Year. If you can’t get a fit off now, you’re on your own…
