The Power of Color: How to Dress Your Desires for 2025 🍀

Have you already decided what color you are going to wear to start 2025?
All over the world, there are traditions and rituals that fill the arrival of a new year with magic and hope. From eating 12 grapes to attract good fortune to taking a walk with suitcases to guarantee trips, every detail counts. Among these customs, the color of the clothes we wear on New Year's occupies a special place, with its own meaning that reflects our wishes for the future.

The Meaning of Colors

Each color has its own history and energy. Here are some of the most popular ones and what they evoke:

• Yellow: Prosperity and abundance. It is the color of gold and wealth, perfect for those looking for a year full of success.
• Red: Passion and love. In some places, it is used in underwear to attract romance.
• White: Peace and harmony. Very popular in Brazil, where people wear white to welcome the new year on the beach.
• Green: Health and balance. Ideal for those who want a year of stability and well-being.
• Gold: Success and wealth. This color brings a touch of glamour to any celebration.

Cabalas with Colors

Color is not only in our clothes, but also in rituals loaded with intention:

• Colored underwear: According to tradition, wearing underwear of a specific color reinforces your wishes for the coming year. For example, yellow for money, red for love, and white for peace.
• Light colored candles: These represent our wishes and fill the home with good energy. If you are looking for tranquility, light a blue candle; for prosperity, a gold one.

My Choice for 2025

This year, I've decided to wear yellow, a color that radiates joy and prosperity. For the occasion, I knitted a special t-shirt using Príncipe Real yarn, a wonderful blend of 50% linen, 36% cotton and 14% silk. It's so light and fresh that I'm sure it will be perfect for welcoming the year!

But that's not all: I'm preparing the pattern to be the first design of 2025. This way, you too will be able to knit a special garment to accompany you in this new stage.

And you?

I invite you to reflect on your wishes for 2025 and choose a color that represents them. If you need inspiration, I have prepared a New Year Color Moodboard . Maybe you will find the perfect color for your next knitwear or to combine in your outfit!

May 2025 be filled with creativity, good wishes and lots of knitting projects.
