What do Chinese people wear on Chinese New Year?

Answer 1

For the Chinese, it is custom to wear new clothes for Chinese New Year.

For the younger generation, it is not as important as what they wear so long as it is new.

For the older generation or for the more traditional, some females may wear cheongsams. Men may wear what western society has dubbed a smoking jacket. Both would be made from Chinese silk material. The men's may be darker in color while the female's is much more brighter.
