WHY VENUS?

In astrology, something Venus represents is beauty and style. So it can advise you how to dress.

ARIES VENUS / 1H VENUS / MARS-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Acute, bold, eye-catching, playful.

Your style should convey your energy. You absolutely rock shorter pieces. Think crop tops, shorts, cropped trousers, cropped jackets. Colour-blocking (wearing contrasting colours) also works for you. Might look good in athletic wear as well. Playful jewellery can go a long way. Let every part of your outfit stand out. Style should be youthful (Aries energy is the baby of the zodiac 👶).

TAURUS VENUS / 2H VENUS / VENUS DOMINANT

Keywords: Sensual, romantic, luxurious, reliable.

Your style is very femme-fatale coded. A very comfortable place for Venus. You look great in silk, velvet, any luxurious materials. Clothes should flow near the skin. Style should also be reliable — Taurus energy needs stability. Think fancy dress for fancy occasions, but practical elegance for everyday life. Need to wear clothes that make you feel good (physically and emotionally 😌).

GEMINI VENUS / 3H VENUS / MERCURY-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Casual, playful, multipurpose, matching.

Your style makes people wonder how you can turn ‘casual’ magnetic. Here we have the casual but cool dressers. The ones that can make a T-shirt and jeans the hottest trend. You look good in shorter pieces with subtle details. Think cropped ripped jeans and crisp button-up blouses. Short or tapered sleeves are your friends. Denim altogether can also work. Colour-blocking. Style is concert-wear coded. 👖

CANCER VENUS / 4H VENUS / MOON-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Comfortable, modest, emotionally resonant, homely.

The girl-next-door style was made for you. Your outfit is your shell; your protection and comfort. Very autumn-wear or winter-wear vibes. Your go-to pieces are (or should be) jumpers, waist-length coats, knitwear, snug shirts or trousers. Clothes should be draped but not baggy. Neutrals suit you best. Always have a jacket, cardigan or wrap with you. 🧣🦀

LEO VENUS / 5H VENUS / SUN-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Dramatic, attention-grabbing, expressive, shining.

The starlets of fashion. Never unprepared for the red carpet. Think flamboyant dresses, expensive brands, silver, gold, jewels, sequins. Ruffles, embroidery and beading are also welcome. On the more simplistic side, bright colours or shine will do. Skin-tight clothes are ideal. Dramatic statement pieces. Whatever boosts your confidence. 👗

VIRGO VENUS / 6H VENUS / MERCURY-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Detailed, perfected, practical, thoughtful.

Casual-chic is the go-to for you. Your outfit needs every detail mastered. These people sometimes won’t even go out if they don’t look ‘good enough’. The small details matter with them — think buttons, zips, embroidery. Waist-defining pieces are also great. So belts, high-waisted trousers, etc. Generally, shirts, blouses, trousers or maybe skirts are great. 👩‍💼🧑‍💼

LIBRA VENUS / 7H VENUS / VENUS DOMINANT

Keywords: Graceful, balanced, social, poised.

Your style? The runway charmer. This is another comfortable place for Venus. You look good in thought-out, elegant pieces. This would favour pencil skirts, symmetrical accessories, modest (elongated) pieces, neutral colours, long dresses, skirts and trousers. Waist definition is also your friend. So add high-waisted skirts, delicate belts, and tapered waistlines to the list. ⚖️

SCORPIO VENUS / 8H VENUS / PLUTO-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Deep, intense, brooding, mysterious.

Your style should be crisp, dark, magnetic and somewhat taboo. Black and white as a combo really suit you. Your style can be quite versatile, accommodating casual looks like jeans and a t-shirt but also blazers and dresses. As long as it’s darkly magnetic (literally) or invites an air of mystery. Having one or a few shocking statement piece/s can bode well for you. Challenge people with your style. 🦂

SAGITTARIUS VENUS / 9H VENUS / JUPITER-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Adventurous, free-spirited, philosophical, educated.

You’re bohemian royalty when it comes to fashion. Think flowing dresses, skirts or trousers. A-line dresses and skirts too. Wild patterns everywhere. All sorts of crystal jewellery. And on the more mellow side, these people can also rock the scholar look. But on the even wilder side, frills, equestrian style and even eccentric bags can work. 🤠

CAPRICORN VENUS / 10H VENUS / SATURN-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Professional, mature, reputable, intentional.

Your style should be almost office-chic, but you’re the boss. Blazers, blouses, trousers and skirts (preferably long) are great. Large (but decent) jewellery statements are welcome. Clothes should lean more toward neutral colours. Otherwise, clothes should have sharp and angular lines. Looking and feeling good could even karmically reward you. 🌟🧖🧖‍♀️

AQUARIUS VENUS / 11H VENUS / URANUS-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Individual, authentic, relevant, trendsetting.

Your style is eccentric — yet trendsetting. It’s fascinating how your individualism can inspire fashion. Opt for mismatched pieces, colour contrasts, statement accessories. Longer pieces can be more fitting. These are also the type of people to wear political statements on their clothing. You may also like wearing merchandise of your favourite bands, celebrities, et cetera. 🎸

PISCES VENUS / 12H VENUS / NEPTUNE-INFLUENCED VENUS

Keywords: Dreamy, ethereal, elusive, blended.

Your style should make people look twice, unsure if what they’re seeing is real (in a good way). For this reason, shapeless pieces, loose clothes and dangly jewellery is a good choice. Watercolours aid this effect. Oversized clothing can also work (tastefully). You may like clothes with multiple designs, printed pictures, et cetera. People should see a whole other world in the way you dress. 🧚‍♂️

A Cute Party Dress For The Spring/Summer Season

See, this is exactly why I hate winter. But if you have to add a coat to an otherwise perfect outfit, consider: there are loads of other things you can add!

Some winter accessories that you can mix and match as you like:

Hats, and not just beanies! I love a good winter beret-- it can be cute and très français, or moody and intellectual, or a touch of polish for a rock & roll fit.

Gloves. Knit or cashmere are fine but I'm partial to leather, and bows or shearling trim can take it up a notch with very little effort. Don't be afraid to consider a fun, classic print like houndstooth that goes with everything!

Scarves. Wrap it around your neck and tuck it into your coat, or throw it over your shoulders and pin it with a big ol' fancy brooch or something. This is another great place to add a pop of color-- match it to the coat and hat for a monochrome look, or use it to introduce a fun contrasting hue.

Earmuffs. An underrated winter accessory!

Umbrellas. Yes, the umbrella counts. Make sure it's on point.

Leg warmers?? Controversial, but I have a friend who swears by them, especially with dresses and sheer tights, or even tucked into boots. Not gonna lie... I'm intrigued.

It's also worth considering if a different style coat would make you happy. I understand the practicality of having a big puffy coat for really bad days, but would it also be worthwhile to have on hand a sleek, sophisticated wool peacoat for nice days that just happen to be cold? Or a trench coat, especially in a great color like red or cream, for mild rain? I've found that having a small (3-5) collection of coats goes a long way toward making me feel like I have options that match my outfit.

Imo the ideal coat collection is:

Black

Brown

White or cream (optional, but incredibly sophisticated and you will get so many compliments you will feel like a supermodel)

A color (I love red or pink, but navy, green, or a print would work just as well. My current "color" coat is actually yellow/green/orange/brown plaid and it RULES)

A "weather" coat (for really bad days, depending on where you live)

And these don't all have to be separate coats! A trench works just as well as a regular brown coat as it does in the rain.
