Jennifer Lopez’s wardrobe choice for her Inauguration performance reflected some the most auspicious colors for 2021!

Yellow , white and gold are some of the most auspicious colors for the Yin Metal Ox Year. I’ll tell you why. Have some fun with this!

Chinese philosophy and astrology contribute to the traditions and guideposts for how to celebrate and have a prosperous, lucky and healthy new year.

There are lucky words, lucky foods, lucky associations, lucky symbols to display and, of course, lucky colors.  And although red is thought to be the luckiest color for celebrations, there are other colors that can be worn to imbue a strong resonance with the current year. If you want to be in the “Metal Ox groove” with your wardrobe, here is how to make this year’s colors work for you.

Simple and elegant gold and silver jewelry accentuate the white tee: white, gold and silver create the vibe for 2021

Think of this as more about festivity and vibe, than of utility. If you are the sort of person who likes to have fun with fashion, this could inject a new color scheme into your thinking. If you are easily bored with accessories, this could inspire you to reconsider your choices.  If you don’t have yellow or white in your wardrobe, you can accessorize with a scarf or hat or tote. If these colors don’t flatter your skin tones, think of adding them intentionally  under your outer wear: yep, socks and undies.

If you’re wondering how we arrived at this color palette, the answer lies in Chinese astrology and philosophy. The astrological animal that associates with this year is the Ox. Ox is considered an Earth animal, and the color associated with Earth is yellow or orange. The attribute of 2021 is Metal.  The colors associated with Metal are white, and metallics like gold or silver.

And speaking of the color orange, let’s take a quick detour to edible orange:  you’ll often see tangerines, oranges and pomelos decorating tables at this time of year. The Chinese names for orange and tangerine sound like the words for success and luck. The word for pomelo implies continuous prosperity.  What’s not to like? Eat them or decorate with them!

So if you want to dress for luck in the Yin Metal Ox year, rock your colors and accessories to this color scheme.  Like JLo did.

Have fun with this!

    Interesting! Now I can’t wait to see J-Lo’s dress! Although different shades, this year’s Pantone color is “Illuminating,” a bright yellow. 🙂

      I hadn’t heard about the Pantone color, but maybe they are on the same page! Great minds!

    I loved JLo’s outfit at the Inauguration. I might try a version of this in a craft project, since I have no where to go. 🙂

    But surely this means I could wear orange, too, right? Burnt orange is my absolute favorite color of all time!! I also love ivory and olive green, but not as much as orange.

      Yes! Orange is an earth color, so it resonates with the Ox. But also, when you love a color that adds to your spirit shining! So yes, Jeanine, rock your burnt orange!!
