New Year, New Confidence: Underwear Tradition To Ring In The NEw Year
New Year’s Eve Underwear Colors
and what they mean for 2025
Over the years, I’ve shared my family’s tradition of wearing red underwear on New Year’s Eve to bring good luck. It’s a fun Italian superstition that I’ve embraced without fully knowing its origins—until now! After doing a little digging, I discovered that many cultures assign specific meanings to different underwear colors for New Year’s Eve, each with its own unique way of manifesting good vibes for the year ahead.
So today, I’m excited to share a fresh take on this tradition, featuring my favorite underwear picks and the meanings behind the colors. Ready to set your intentions for 2025? Let’s dive in!

Red:
GOOD LUCK + LOVE
Wearing red underwear is a classic way to invite romance, passion, and good luck into your life. Popular in cultures like China, Italy, and Spain, red symbolizes energy and positivity—perfect for setting the tone for an exciting new year!
Yellow:
SUCCESS, WEALTH + GOOD LUCK
If you’re manifesting financial success or happiness, yellow is your go-to color. This is especially popular in Latin American countries, where yellow is thought to boost wealth and good luck. Some traditions even suggest wearing your yellow underwear backward or inside out for extra luck!
Green
PROSPERITY + NATURE
Green is a symbol of renewal and growth, perfect for those wanting to connect more with nature or attract financial prosperity. It’s a fresh and hopeful color that feels grounded and abundant.
Blue
HEALTH, WELLNESS + TRANQUILITY
Feeling like 2025 should be your year for balance and wellness? Blue underwear is said to bring health, tranquility, and peace of mind. Think of it as your color of serenity for the year ahead.
Pink
LOVE, HARMONY + STRENGTHENED FRIENDSHIPS
For a softer, sweeter take on love, pink is your color. It’s all about finding harmony, strengthening friendships, and creating warm, loving connections in your life.
White
PEACE + NEW BEGINNINGS
White is a universal symbol of peace and rebirth. In Brazil, wearing white on New Year’s Eve is a popular tradition for inviting joy, harmony, and a fresh start. If you’re looking for a calming and optimistic color, white is always a great choice.
BONUS TRADITION:
POLKA DOTS & PROSPERITY
Here’s a fun twist: In the Philippines, wearing polka dots on New Year’s Eve is believed to bring prosperity. The round shapes symbolize coins, making polka dots a playful way to manifest financial abundance.
Multicolored Underwear? Why Not!
Wondering if wearing multicolored underwear can double (or triple!) your good fortune? Maybe it’s time to embrace all the vibes and cover all your bases for 2025. Asking for a friend… 😉
