Amidst the Fashion Week and Valentine's Day hullaballoo, a billion other people were celebrating Chinese New Year (including a handful of us in the office!). If you're born in the Year of the Tiger—that's 1986, 1974, or 1962—it's said to be your lucky year. To prolong that bit of good fortune, it's important to wear red and gold, relish in your own traits (that's passion, sensitivity, and courage), and look to incorporate some tiger print pieces in your outfits. From an iconic Vivienne Westwood pendant to a chic scarf that could replace your leopard spot one, tiger stripes are the animal print for this new year!
