For those born in: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Lucky Colours: Red, Orange, Green

Since 2026 is the Year of the Horse, we’re starting with its lucky colours and easy ways to incorporate them into your everyday routine. If you’re born under the Horse zodiac, consider investing in red, orange, and green items.

The easiest way to work these colours into your routine is through make-up, accessories, and clothing. Red is a great choice for beauty products, such as the CATKIN x SUMMER PALACE Lipstick Set (S$55.19), which adds an instant pop to your complexion. Green works best as outerwear, like Uniqlo’s PEANUTS Coach Jacket (S$59.90), a versatile unisex option. Orange may feel trickier to pull off, but incorporating it through accessories like an Apple Watch Strap (S$25.99) makes it subtle and wearable, with multiple sizes available to fit your preference.

2. Goat

Lucky Colours: Cream, Light Green, Pink

Next up is the Goat zodiac, with lucky colours in cream, light green, and pink. It’s the perfect time to pick up Charles & Keith’s Xylia Shoulder Bag (S$79.90) in cream, ideal for high tea with the girlies, or Chinese New Year visits. Light green works for everyday essentials, such as the Owala Star Wars Water Bottle (S$49.24).

For pink, Peripera Syrupy Tok Cheek (S$13.90) adds a natural flush to your complexion, with multiple shades available (Fluffy Pink is the cutest of them all). Not into blush? Try foptics, Singapore’s first blush lens, with prices starting from S$39.90 for the basic tier.

3. Monkey

For those born in: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
Lucky Colours: White, Silver, Light Blue

If you’re born in the Year of the Monkey, your lucky colours are white, silver, and light blue. While white isn’t traditionally auspicious during the Lunar New Year, you can still incorporate it through footwear like Adidas Samba Jane Shoes (S$129) for the ladies (especially the one that comes in white and light blue), or Adidas Samba OG (S$159) for the gentlemen.

For silver, opt for chain accessories from Vitaly Design. Most pieces use stainless steel, such as Cuban Chain (S$66) and Cell (S$88), and with their ongoing sale, you’re bound to find something that suits your style. As for light blue, look beyond footwear and add a softer touch with Lovisa’s Light Blue Fabric Bow Clip (S$23.99), a perfect pick for cottagecore girls.

4. Rooster

Lucky Colours: Gold, White, Earth Yellow

Roosters, it’s your time to shine with lucky colours in gold, white, and earth yellow. While pure gold may feel like a splurge, affordable options exist, such as a pair of Monday’s Made Carved Sunflower Stud Earrings (S$99), crafted from 18k gold vermeil. Men can opt for trendhim’s 8mm Gold-Tone Chain Bracelet (S$54.90) for a subtle touch of shine.

For white, you can’t go wrong with wardrobe staples like Uniqlo’s Dry Colour Crew Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt (S$7.90). Prefer something dressier? Get the Uniqlo Dry Pique Polo Shirt (S$29.90) for a more polished look. Earth yellow may feel trickier to pull off, but H&M’s Scarf-Detail Satin Dress (S$64.90) proves it can look effortlessly chic.

5. Dog

For those born in: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
Lucky Colours: Red, Green, Brown

People with the Dog zodiac, be sure to dress in your lucky colours of red, green, and brown before you get out. Swap Peripera’s blush for Rom&nd Juicy Roll Cheek (S$8.10), for a brighter, redder flush that stands out from the clean girl look. If makeup isn’t your thing, the Nike Brasillia (S$42) offers a practical way to carry your workout essentials.

Green works well for footwear, such as the New Balance T500 (S$120), a simple pair with subtle green accents for everyday wear. As for brown, now’s the time to upgrade your wallet, with trendhim’s Lincoln Tan & Dark-Brown Leather RFID-Blocking Wallet & Card Holder (S$74.90), which makes a timeless and functional choice.

6. Pig

For those born in: 1942, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
Lucky Colours: Blue, Black, Silver

Surprisingly, those born in the Year of the Pig won’t find pink among their lucky colours this year. Instead, blue, black and silver take the spotlight. For blue, Pull&Bear’s Super Baggy Jeans (S$69) stand out as a solid pick, especially with the current 50% discount on their website.

Black remains a foolproof choice, and instead of the usual footwear or outerwear, we recommend the Snowflake Obsidian Geometric Bracelet (S$39.90) from NewAge FSG. Known for repelling negative energy, this crystal piece offers protection you can wear all year long.

Wrapping things up, silver shines through GVN’s Baguette Bag (S$75), available at Fromthereon. Its sleek design makes it perfect for special occasions, from birthdays and bachelorette parties to weddings.

7. Rat

Lucky Colours: Blue, Teal, Silver

If you’re born in the year of the Rat, your lucky colours are blue, teal, and silver. Beyond baggy jeans, consider Misty Daydream’s Personalised Leather Photo Keychain (S$24.90). While it comes in various colours, the Navy Blue option offers both a sleek look and maximised luck.

Teal makes a bold statement, so we recommend a pair of Turbo Teal Classic Crocs (S$74.95), paired with customisable Jibbitz of your choice. Finish the look by adding a touch of sparkle with Sephora Colourful Eyeshadow Mono Glitter (S$19) for shimmering eyelids.

Oxen, kick off 2026 with your lucky colours of purple, maroon, and yellow. Stay on track with your fitness goals by sporting Under Armour’s UA Motion (S$49) in purple.

Prefer something dressier? Choose Charles & Keith’s Patent Black-Hell Mary Jane Pumps (S$59.90) in maroon, a standout piece that pairs effortlessly with neutral-toned outfits.

Yellow may feel too bold for clothing or bags, but it works perfectly as an accessory. Add a pop of colour with the Frangipani Flower Hair Claw Clip (S$8.99), a practical pick to brighten up your mood on your toughest days.

Despite common misconceptions, Playhood’s pieces are gender-neutral and work just as well in neutral, everyday styling.
