New Year is a holiday that many Kyrgyzstanis eagerly await. It is celebrated both at corporate events and in the company of loved ones. In this regard, people often ask the question: "What to wear?"
To help our readers decide, 24.kg turned to stylist Zuhra Tabaldieva for advice.
Clothing According to Astrology
According to the Chinese calendar, the year 2026 will be under the sign of the Fire Horse. This means that, according to Zuhra, it is worth choosing outfits in red and orange tones. Brown shades, such as mocha and dark chocolate, are also suitable.
"The horse is associated with leather, so you can confidently use leather items, whether it's dresses, suits, or pants. Don't forget about gloves, which are back in fashion," the stylist added.
A pantsuit or a dress with slits would be perfect. Add elements that remind you of sports.

As for accessories, it is better to choose jewelry with golden elements. While silver details were popular last year due to the sign of the Snake, this year the focus is on gold.
It is advisable to avoid airy looks, as, according to Zuhra, a heavier astrological period is coming, and lightness in outfits is inappropriate.
Colors According to Pantone
For fashion lovers who follow the Pantone palette, the stylist recommends choosing deeper and richer shades.
Pantone has chosen mocha as the color of the year, which also corresponds to astrological trends. It looks especially good in chiffon, adding an interesting shade to the look.

According to her, red color perfectly matches the spirit of the horse, and among accent shades, lime or green can be chosen, which pair beautifully with brown. For romantic looks, powdery tones will work well. Natural earthy shades will also be in trend.
"This color scheme is suitable for pragmatic people who want their clothes to last long, as well as fashionistas who appreciate accents. If you already have a basic suit, add burgundy or lime accessories," the stylist noted.
For men, Zuhra advises paying attention not to the usual black, but to brown and burgundy shades. A basic suit can be useful later as well.
"I am against buying clothes just for one event. If a man decides to choose something new, it is worth adding elements related to equestrian style, such as wool tweed suits or checks. This will be appropriate both at the event and in everyday life. A shirt and jacket in a small check would be perfect," Zuhra added.
Dress Code for Corporates
Many companies set a dress code or theme for New Year's parties: the '90s, 'The Great Gatsby', sport-chic, etc. The stylist advises not to ignore the dress code and to let your inner fashionista shine.
"This is a unique opportunity to create a carnival mood, as there are not many occasions like this throughout the year. So don't miss the chance to create an interesting look," she believes.
To avoid unnecessary expenses, Zuhra recommends using items you already have in your wardrobe and complementing them with new accessories.
For example, if the dress code is sport-chic, you can add sporty glasses to a regular casual outfit. This won't be expensive but will help maintain the style.

"If you want to make an impression, then why not? Once a year is fine. It would be boring to spend this time in a regular work suit. Add at least one bright element — bright jewelry would be perfect for girls," the stylist noted.
Individual Style
For those who are not tied to specific clichés, comfort and convenience come first. They can choose how to dress: festive, in casual style, or homey.
In our society, a variety of styles is perceived quite normally. At events, you can see not only girls in dresses but also those who prefer pants or jeans.
For those planning to shop before the holidays, Zuhra advises being cautious: a dress bought in a moment of emotion may cause discomfort at the celebration.
"For example, a dress with slits may look attractive, but you'll spend the whole evening adjusting it. Therefore, it's important that the festive outfit matches your inner state. Are you ready for increased attention? It's important to maintain a balance and understand how ready you are for a new look," she emphasizes.
In the end, the main thing is that your outfit not only looks stunning but also feels "like you." The New Year is about mood, joy, and time for yourself. Choose what brings you happiness and comfort, so your look continues to live in your wardrobe even after the holidays, and the evening doesn't end up being spoiled.
