Chinese New Year Outfits for Tweens

Grown-up cheongsams, dresses, jumpsuits and printed separates for tweens up to 16 years. Cuts are longer and simpler than our little-girl styles, so older girls feel comfortable wearing them to reunion dinner and visiting.

  • For a classic look: the straight-cut Cheongsam or Peony Cheongsam.
  • For girls who prefer separates: a printed Ashley or Amanda Top with Nicole Pants.
  • For one easy piece: the Kodi Jumpsuit or the Blair Dress.

Questions parents ask

What can my tween wear for CNY if she thinks cheongsams look too young?

Choose the Kodi Jumpsuit (S$68.90, 8Y to 16Y), which has a halter mandarin neckline and jade buttons, or pair a printed Ashley Top (S$42.90, 8Y to 16Y) with Nicole Pants (S$42.90, 6Y to 14Y). For a dress, the Blair Dress (S$81.90, 4Y to 16Y) has flutter sleeves, a tiered skirt and a tie waist.

Which cheongsam suits an older girl?

Choose the Cheongsam (S$74.90, 4Y to 14Y). It is straight-cut and midi length, with capped sleeves, side slits for walking and a double lining, so it looks grown-up rather than frilly. The sleeveless Peony Cheongsam (S$74.90) is the same straight midi shape. If she has outgrown 14Y, our women's cheongsams start at XS.

What sizes do your tween CNY outfits come in?

Up to 16Y in the Ashley Top, Blair Dress and Kodi Jumpsuit, and up to 14Y in our cheongsams, Amanda Top and Nicole Pants. Fitted styles such as the Peony and Drop Waist Cheongsams are close-fitting, so go one size up if she is between sizes.

Can she wear these again after Chinese New Year?

Yes. Nicole Pants come in plain Off-white, Pastel Blue, Light Peach and Red, and the Ashley and Amanda Tops work with jeans. The Blair Dress and Sasha Dress are good for weddings and parties too.

Can she match her mum?

Yes. The girls' Amanda Top (S$42.90) and women's Amanda Top (S$89.90) both come in Red Vases and Cream Floral Bamboo. The girls' and women's Sasha Dress both come in Red Vases. The girls' Peony Cheongsam matches the women's Mini Peony Cheongsam in Pink Teapots and Pink Tiles.
