The element for 2023, the Year of the Rabbit is the water element. Just like last year, Black is the principal color and one of my favorite colors to wear.
Each Chinese New Year the auspicious colors change for the upcoming year. The most auspicious colors for people to wear in 2023 are Black, White, and Gray.
Fashion for Women
This year it is auspicious for women to wear all black, this generates authority. White is also a power color for women, so wearing all white also generates authority and power. A woman wearing black and white is the perfect combination.
Some other watercolors that are perfect for women to team up with for success, are Gray, Blue, Purple, and Navy. Metallic Silver & Gold are also very auspicious.
The perfect textures to wear this year are fake fur, feathers, quilted and soft textured garments, and handbags. Wear something flouncy or flowy, and you could give yourself a burst of yang energy by wearing florals and patterns too.
Fashion for Men
The color combinations that work best for men this year are all the colors listed above for women, but the emphasis is on gray! For men, gray and white are the perfect combination. Gray suits are ideal. Men can also wear black but it can be a draining color, so gray is more beneficial.
See below what each color represents.
- Blue: Opportunity, Wealth, Income
- Black: Prosperity, Power
- Red: Success, Joy, Enthusiasm
- Purple: Happiness, Abundance
- Green: Health, Wealth, Growth
- White: Heavenly Protection, Authority, Power

Jewelry
The best jewelry choices this year are real Gold and Silver, Jade, Amethyst, Citrine, Pearls, and Blue Stones. Make your selection by choosing the one you like wearing the best and what suits you. Even if it is good feng shui, please do not choose a stone if you don’t like it, because this could work against you.
Auspicious Handbag, Purse & Wallet Colors for 2023
The most auspicious color handbag, purse, or wallet to carry in 2023 is Red. Red is the color of fame and success, plus it’s energizing for money. Having a red purse is the equivalent of putting a bit of fire in your handbag. If you don’t like red, maybe you could choose a Purple bag or purse to use instead.
