For a number of years, we publish an article about the colours you should wear, according to different traditions in countries around the world, on New Year’s Eve. You may want to know that the colour of the underwear you are wearing when the clock hits midnight, according to them, can bring good fortune, love, money and good health. In Italy and Spain red underwear on New Year’s Eve will guarantee good luck and success for the year ahead. In most countries of South America your best chances for a good year come with yellow underwear. You may be surprised but in Chile you need to wear it inside out and when the New Year comes you take it off, turn it the right way and put it on again.
The only year we missed publishing an article about these was last year… and you all saw what happened to 2020! So we thought, this year, we should bring back this article in order to make a team effort for 2021 to be a great year for all! To revive and continue our very own tradition started in 2017, we made a selection with underwear you can wear on the special night. To the surprise of many (including ourselves when we heard it first time), all traditions agree that black underwear should be avoided that night because the colour is linked with sadness and misfortune. Superstitious or not, we recommend you leave your favourite black pair of underwear in the drawer and put on something colourful, just to stay on the safe side.
Our extensive research over the years came up with the following results for colours you should be wearing when the New Year arrives. Included is also a specific example for each colour which we selected from our shop with a direct link to the product page to get it. Enjoy the read, put the right underwear on and let’s make 2021 special!
