The Fire Horse will rule the upcoming year 2026. To win its favor, it's essential to choose your festive outfit thoughtfully, paying attention to the colors that are believed to attract luck. On Instagram, Ukrainian stylist Olena Shevchenko explains which shades to choose for a festive look.
Which colors are best for celebrating the New Year 2026
Fiery shades: Red spectrum
Red, burgundy, and ruby are the main colors of action and activity in 2026. They symbolize determination, courage, and the readiness to take responsibility for your goals.
The shades can be warm or cool. The main thing is that they convey strength and confidence. The red spectrum is ideal for those who plan to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with an attitude of "I take what's mine," ready to act and unafraid of new challenges.

Coral, fuchsia, orange: Dynamism and boldness
Bright, warm tones, such as coral, fuchsia, peach, and terracotta, highlight energy and dynamism. They particularly suit tan, warm-toned women, creating a mood of movement, excitement, and forward momentum.
Orange and peach symbolize determination and courage in new beginnings.

Gold and metallics: Financial success and status
Metallic shades, especially gold and soft bronze and brass tones, will be your allies in 2026 if your goal is to attract finances and elevate your social status.
Warm gold hues (from yellow to champagne) create a sense of nobility, wealth, and prosperity. They fit perfectly into a festive wardrobe and boost self-confidence.

Green: Growth, development, healthy decisions
And don't forget about green, which is a symbol of growth and vitality. Emerald, forest green, and rich grassy green help maintain balance and harmony in 2026. They support the energy of the Fire Horse, helping you move forward and make the right decisions.

Colors to avoid
In 2026, avoid wearing total black because it absorbs energy and creates a feeling of heaviness. Also, avoid light blue and blue as these cool tones extinguish the fiery energy of the Fire Horse.

Gray tones, such as dirty gray, and dull browns, also create a sense of stagnation, suppression, and emptiness, which goes against the active and vibrant atmosphere of the year.
