5 Ways to Keep Kids Cool This CNY

Singapore's heat + CNY visiting = sweaty, cranky kids. Here's exactly what to dress them in so they stay comfortable all day long.

CNY Header

1. Go Sleeveless

Maximum airflow = maximum comfort when you're outdoors between houses.

Shop:

- Jersey Luna Cheongsam (tweens)

- Sleeveless Dress (girls)

- Naomi Cheongsam (girls)

- Summer Dress (girls)

Sleeveless styles

2. Choose Jersey for Comfort

Jersey fabric stretches, breathes, and wicks sweat. Save woven styles for Day 1 dinner only.

Shop:

- Polo Tee (boys)

- Jersey Cheongsam (girls)

- Romper (baby boy)

- Onesie (baby girl)

- Hayley Dress (tweens)

Jersey styles

3. Opt for Loose, Flowy Fits

Tight clothes trap heat. Look for gathered waists and pleated skirts that allow air circulation.

Shop:

- Wrap Cheongsam (girls)

- Wendy Cheongsam (girls)

- Sasha Dress (girls)

- Naomi Cheongsam (girls)

Loose, flowy styles

4. Shorts > Pants

Shorts keep kids cooler and still look festive.

Shop:

Pair any of our tops with matching shorts from the collection.

Shorts styles

5. Day 1 vs Casual Visiting Days

Reunion Dinner:

Air-conditioned / indoors → opt for woven cheongsams

Reunion Dinner

Day 1 & 2:

Outdoor visiting → choose jersey and sleeveless cuts

Day 1 & 2

Day 3–15:

Everyday dresses for relaxed, comfortable wear

Day 3-15

Your CNY survival kit: sleeveless styles, jersey fabric, and loose fits. Shop the full collection and you'll have happy, comfortable kids for all 15 days.
