My favorite gem of knowledge was What to Wear on New Year’s Eve Based on Color Meaning. One of Brazilians that is equally style-obsessed told me about the Brazilian tradition of wearing white on New Year’s Eve to symbolize bringing peace in the new year.
There are other colors that are worn to bring love, wealth, and all sorts of good things. Brazilians mostly stick to white for peace, yellow for success, and red for love. I did some research with the help of my Brazilian fashionistas, and we found 14 other meaningful color choices.
