Quick math shows that unfortunately, Mondays through Fridays account for more days of the week than Saturdays and Sundays. So it only makes sense that practical folks prioritise CNY clothes that are also work-appropriate.
You won’t be at risk of looking like a stereotypical OL with the modest yet flattering apparel from Mds. From cinched waistlines to below-the-knee “mermaid” cuts, their dresses help to accentuate that hourglass figure so you’ll look like you had a glow up since last year’s reunion, all while being well put-together at work once festive season ends.

Rule number one of prudent CNY shopping: don’t buy something that you wouldn’t wear otherwise.
If you refuse to be caught dead wearing firetruck-red prints in any other month of the year, Love & Bravery carries versatile, neutral essentials you can easily dress up or down, depending on the occasion. Amp up the glamour during CNY home visits with accessories like a statement bag, or keep it effortlessly chic for future weekend hangouts just as it is.
