The years come and go, but a tiger never changes its stripes, nor do they go out of style.
Feb. 1 marks the first day of the Lunar New Year, celebrated by many Asian cultures around the world. Following the Chinese Zodiac, this year is the Year of the Tiger, which is the third of the twelve animals on the Chinese calendar cycle.
For those born in the years 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010, this is your year especially. The time is now to show off your stripes and roar extra loud to welcome in some much needed changes and adventure following the Year of the Ox which was marked by hard work and perseverance.
No matter what animal of the Zodiac you identify with, the upcoming Year of the Tiger is for everyone. To help embrace the fierce animal, we rounded up some brands that are helping to welcome in the Lunar New Year, from fashion brands like Coach and Radley London to beauty brands like Estée Lauder and Dior.
