Spoiler alert: New Year's Eve plans rarely set the tone for the year ahead. We've celebrated with sticky, basem*nt college hangs and quiet nights in with our fam, and all of it has led to the same old mix of good and bad. Still, there is one superstition we'll keep in mind while welcoming the year ahead: The color of our underwear, which is said to determine the type of luck a person will have for the next 12 months.
To be honest, we're still unsure when we first found out about this tiny detail, but for most of our lives, we've played along—even as a small way to help bring about love, wealth, and friendship. For the most part, it's just a fun little game, but many countries actually do have long-held traditions of associating underwear color with luck. Even astrologers agree that different colors contain different types of energy.Dressing for your auramight just help to alter your mood and overcome obstacles, while Pantone's Color of the Year is said to help you manifest.
So, if you want to start the new year on a positive note, take a look at the meanings behind each underwear color, then prepare to break out your chosen pair before the clock strikes midnight.
