Greetings ladies and gentleman! Fall is here and it is truly glorious. We have said goodbye to the summer heat practically melting the skin off of our bodies and hello to the crisp cool air that welcomes the holiday season. Hopefully the planets have been kind to everyone so far this semester. With Mercury entering retrograde yet again on Halloween, it is going to be so tempting to blame every minor and major inconvenience on the rocky planet’s funky orbit. No worries though! We are here to alleviate the added pressure of figuring out what to wear this fall. No more blank stares into the dark abyss known as your closet. Here is our official guide to fall fashion based on your zodiac sign!
Aries (March 21-April 19): Animal print, Warm colors (as statement pieces or as accents), Black and White, Minimal Jewelry, Oversized Sweaters
It’s no secret that fiery Aries are bold, ambitious folk. With that being said, this fall, you may find it difficult to express how you’re feeling about certain aspects of your life. But you are full of life and you are ready to let your clothes speak for themselves! Put yourself out there in the best way by showcasing your style.
Being that you are the very first sign in the zodiac and a fire sign, you are dominant and you love to be the best at everything. Opt for warm tones this fall such as red, yellow, or orange, whether it be your main statement piece or just an accent one. Red is Aries signature color so maybe spice up a neutral ensemble with a red bag, belt or socks.
While you should definitely stick to your roots in terms of color palette, black and white seems to be a go-to for many Aries. Solid pieces such as black jeans, white sweaters, and black boots are of course perfect for the colder weather. You can also spice up these ensembles a bit with some minimal jewelry like a simple necklace or even one with a pop of color.
You appreciate fashion but you also want to stay comfy this fall/winter. Loose fitting sweaters are the perfect choice for any Aries. Maybe instead of pairing that black sweatshirt with regular jeans, opt for an animal print pant to give the look a little something extra.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Warm tones (Particularly oranges and yellows), Bold patterns, Chunky Boots
I know what you’re thinking Leos. Summer has wrapped itself up and it is no longer “your” season. But guess what? Every season is Leo season because you’re ruled by the almighty sun and you know how to thrive under any circumstances. Let your fashion be a mirror of yourself this fall/winter! Things are going well for you, so let the world know you’re flourishing.
You ooze self-confidence so don’t be afraid to play with bold patterns. Whether you like to admit it or not, you want all eyes on you, so bust out those colorful funky sweaters you’ve been keeping hidden all summer. Just like your fellow fire signs, you are drawn to warm tones and since Leo’s signatures colors are yellow and orange, find a way to incorporate those into your outfits. Orange is always a popular color for the fall so maybe rock an orange plaid pant or maybe layer a pumpkin colored turtleneck under a dress or t-shirt.
Playing around with shoe choices is always a nice way to bring something different to an outfit, and you want to stomp around campus with style. Chunky boots are the perfect way to go and whether you’re rocking some classic Dr. Martens or a 90s-style platform, you are going to look like a million bucks.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Patterns, Purple, Jeans, Feminine, Sneakers
Archers, your season is nearing and you want to be sure to enter it in style! This is the perfect time to try new things and be open. While you can apply this advice to your everyday life, you can also use it to sculpt your own person style. Fall is your time to shine, so make the most of it.
You’re adventurous in life, but that goes without saying. Of course, you would be the same when it comes to the clothes you wear. Play with patterns this fall like different variations of floral, pastel striped sweaters, or even a plaid pant. You may find yourself dressing in very feminine clothes such as light colored maxi dresses, or cozy cardigans paired with skirts. The color purple is a staple of the Sagittarius sign so make sure to incorporate it into your wardrobe in one way or another.
You may be on the go and not have much time for layering, so my advice is to make sure you have a couple pairs of go-to jeans handy, preferably light wash. You can mix and match various patterned sweaters or sweatshirts with them and add some light jewelry for an effortless, put together look. As for shoes, you should go for a comfy pair of cute sneakers like Converse, Vans, or Sketchers.
Capricorn (December 22- January 19): Darker earth tones, Blazer, Two-Piece Sets, Practical, Vintage
Oh, practical Capricorns. If you’re interested in succeeding in all endeavors this season, you may want to hone your communication skills and of course, dress for success! Not only are you responsible, but you’re also a bit distant, so try not to keep things bottled up. Showcase that practicality in your style this fall/winter. Whoever says conservative clothing has to be boring is absolutely brainless.
You’re a powerful, successful earth sign, so own it. Stay true to your element by wearing earth tones such as dark browns, forest greens, and creams. You’re independent and you appreciate work so bring that style to the table by rocking some classic preppy pieces like blazers, two-piece sets, and anything plaid. Ladies, Cher Horowitz from Clueless is your best friend this season. Her put-together ensembles perfectly embody a capable Capricorn woman. Maybe opt for some more neutral colors, as hers could be a bit flashier than what you’re comfortable with. Men, plaid pants will make you look like a 70s dream and you’ll be surprised by how many compliments you get, so branch out!
A sweater paired with a mini skirt and tights would be the perfect simple outfit for class. Make sure to incorporate some vintage pieces into your wardrobe to truly make your outfits stand out. Maybe go to the local thrift store and try to find a nice fur coat for when it starts to get extra chilly. You will be classy and you will be warm!
Taurus (April 21-May 21): Earth tones, Pink, Textures, Flannels, Jewelry
Things are getting easier for you it seems, young bull. You’re still just a stubborn as you’ve always been, but life appears to be working out in your favor. You love the material things in life and appreciate beauty, so tis the season to focus on yourself while you have the free time to do so. Read a book, treat yourself, and most importantly, go shopping!
You enjoy being seen but not necessarily being the center of attention. Maybe toss the flashy colors this season and go with your native earth tones. Let the clothes speak for themselves. Play around with textures this fall by wearing some corduroy, wool, or something knit perhaps. Taurus are all about looking their best but comfort also plays a key role, so make sure you have some cozy sweaters or even some oversized flannels lying around. Army jackets would also be a nice staple this season for men and women alike. Outerwear is key.
You are ruled by the lovely planet Venus, so incorporate some pink into your wardrobe to showcase your feminine side. And speaking of feminine charm, the easiest way to spice up an outfit is by adding jewelry, so make sure you have some nice affordable necklaces, earrings or broaches to add some flavor to your fit. Some other accessories you may want to incorporate are large handbags, headbands and simple rings.
Virgo (August 23- September 22): Effortless, Layering under t-shirts, Textured earthy tones, Sneakers, Loose fitting pants or jeans
Ah, Virgo. You are one with the sea and one with the earth. Keep your dreams big this season and your mind open. While you are both analytical and structured, your style may not seem this way. You have an effortless way about you even though you probably spend more time getting ready than you want to admit. Show the world that you’re playful and daring! Defeat the stereotypes, because believe it or not, Virgo’s can be the life of the party.
Virgos, you tend to have a flower child air about you since you’re connected to the earth, so feel free to embrace your roots. T-shirts are always great to mix and match with different patterns and you know how to dress them up perfectly. When it’s cold, try layering a long sleeve underneath, either plain or patterned! As far as color goes, of course earth tones are great but maybe go for some more textured ones like a charcoal instead of just jet black. Teal or light blue graphics against a dark tee always make for an interesting combination, so try it out!
You may be structured at heart but give your legs some air with some loose-fitting pants or jeans. As a matter of fact, a lot of your outerwear like sweaters, and coats can be a bit oversized as it makes for a more comfortable wear. Sneakers are going to be your go-to shoe because you always want to be prepared for any spur of the moment nature walks.
Gemini (May 21- June 20): Yellows, Bold colors, Denim pieces, Fun accessories
Fall is the perfect time for self-reflection, Gemini. I know it may be hard, but try to shift focus on yourself rather than the drama that surrounds you. You’re curious by nature, so channel that curiosity into your personal style! Figuring out what to wear may be one of your greatest challenges in life since your indecisiveness is just a part of who you are, but make it easy on yourself by following these tips, so you can be ahead of the game this season!
Your color palette is all over the place, so you can really try anything in terms of shades. The world is your oyster! One color that is fun to work into a fall wardrobe is yellow, so maybe pull out a pale-yellow jacket or a mustard yellow sweater. 80s colors are in style this fall so maybe play around with bold pinks, blues, or greens and team them up with some neutral pieces. And speaking of neutral, don’t be afraid to take advantage of denim. Jean jackets, blue jeans, colored jeans, denim hats, denim bags! The possibilities are endless.
Being the chameleon you are, you tend not to stick to one particular style, but you are always put together quite nicely since you know how to accessorize. Don’t be afraid to add some cute ankle socks for a pop of color or a fun tote bag! You also love jewelry, so even just pairing your favorite silver or gold necklace with your outfits will make for a truly composed look.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Pinks, Blues, Floral, Handbags, Mix-Match Styles
Lovely Libras, your season has come to a close. Relationships are looking good and so are you this fall! You’re a social butterfly as well as a good listener, so use that to your advantage. We know you can be avid people pleasers, but maybe spend less time worrying about what others think of you and instead focus on what you’re wearing this season. Great style makes a great impression!
Like Taurus, you are ruled by beautiful Venus. Your colors are pink, light blues, and white so take advantage of that sweet feminine side by wearing soft patterns and flowy skirts of these tones. You are flirty and fun, which means a floral maxi dress is right up your alley. Dress like you’re going to a picnic on a nice crisp fall afternoon. For extra coverage on those colder days, pair it with a cute cardigan. Since you also like to mix and match styles, you could even go with a leather jacket of some sort to contrast the sweetness. If you’re looking for a more professional but cute look, wear a floral button up blouse with some nice fitting jeans. This can go for guys too, as men look great in floral!
As far as accessories, handbags are a must. Heck, buy one in every color! Sunglasses can really tie your look together as well, so have a cute, small white pair on hand to go with all your outfits. You love jewelry but never too much. You of course have a few simple ones that are your go-to, so just try to integrate those into your outfits more often to add something extra.
Aquarius (January 20- February 18): Layering, Patterns & Textures, Blues, Silver Jewelry,
You maybe feel the need to start cracking down on yourself Aquarius but fear not, there is still time for play in 2019! After all, being the most eccentric sign in the zodiac, you tend to walk to your own beat anyways. Use this to your advantage and let all of your creative ideas play out. Speaking of creativity, bring it into your wardrobe this fall and sport some unique ensembles that will turn heads everywhere you go!
You’re inventive with your style, so try some heavy layering this season. Don’t be afraid to mix-match patterns, textures, colors, and accessories. Try some fishnet sleeves under a t-shirt or go for a monochromatic look with different shades. Nothing is off limits! Because you’re a true air sign, your colors are going to be blues and greys. Play around with shading and bold coloring. A popular layering choice for the fall is tights, of course. Opt for some funky patterned or textured ones that will add something extra to your fit. If you’re looking to go even further and guarantee you’re wearing a one of a kind look, maybe find a cool jacket at the thrift store and paint it however your heart desires. It can be super fun and you’ll be a show stopper for sure.
Instead of wearing a plain turtleneck or long sleeve under your shirt, try a ribbed one for more added texture. Adding this small detail to an outfit can really amp it up from a good look to a great one. As far as jewelry goes, silver is the way to go. Layer up necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings for a bold look.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Dark colors, Leather jacket, Dark floral dress, Mini Backpack, Belt
You’ve been forced to come out of your shell a bit this year, Scorpio. There’s nothing wrong with opening up and being vulnerable every now and then. But, if you’re still in the process of taking it one step at a time, I suggest you use your clothing as a way to break free of your internal hang ups! You’re extremely passionate in all your endeavors, so why not sculpt a personal style that reflects how you’re feeling?
It’s no secret that Scorpio’s are the misunderstood bad boys of the zodiac. With that being said, you know how to pull off eye catching colors of darker tones. Deep wine reds, cherry tones, and dark purples are going to work in your favor. Pairing these colored pieces with neutrals such as black and grey will make for an outfit you feel completely comfortable in! Don’t be afraid to rock an all-black ensemble. Whether you are putting together a black long sleeve t-shirt, black jeans and shoes or going for a black dress, black tights and a leather jacket, you are going to look amazing. You may not be one for patterns, but if you want to stick to something familiar with a touch of femininity, try out a dark floral maxi dress. Long dresses are a must have for fall and with this totally 90s inspired garment, you can look sweet and mysterious all at the same time.
You are normally minimalist when it comes to accessories, so make sure you have a few nice bags of various neutral tones to go with any outfit you create. Mini backpacks are perfect for carrying all kinds of things if you’re spending the day out or don’t plan on packing anything bigger than your wallet and keys. You can find them pretty much anywhere nowadays including your local thrift store! Make sure you also have a nice solid belt to go with your clothes. You tend to like to splurge on nice quality simple pieces so don’t be afraid to spend a little extra on something you know you will get a lot of wear out of!
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Oversized clothes, Comfy pieces, Light watery tones, White sneakers
You’re a natural nurturer, but this year instead of focusing on everyone else’s needs, you need to shift attention to yourself. Self-care is one of the most important things, so don’t put it on the backburner. Relax and learn more about who you are and what you want. Go buy that fall candle you’ve had your eye on, get a facial, and shop til you drop!
Feeling comfortable and confident in what you are wearing can play a big part in how you feel. While you Cancers love to be comfortable on the inside, you also appreciate clothes that make you feel cozy and bundled up on the outside. The oversized clothing look is in, so play it to your advantage. Big sweaters and t-shirts paired with looser fitting cropped pants look great and so many off duty models have been sporting this very look. Layering comfortable pieces is also a way to stay warm in the coldest of days, so try out a t-shirt with some sort of baggy flannel or button up blouse over it. Your sign’s colors consist of very light watery cool tones like greys, blues, greens and whites. These light shades are great for color blocking as well as showing off the true nature of your sign!
You enjoy jewelry, but you like to keep it to a minimum with pieces that are simple, yet elegant. Dainty necklaces mesh well with casual looks as they tend to up the ante a bit. Sneakers look nice with casual ensembles, so make sure you have a nice white pair to go with you looks. Air Force 1’s, high top Converse, Vans or any platform sneaker would be perfect.
Pisces (February 20- March 20): Deep ocean colors, Loose clothes, Flirty patterns, Simple stones, Textured bags
This season may bring about questionable motives, paranoid thoughts and playing all the right moves, but as long as you’re aware of your surroundings, you will easily float to the top! Being expressive is something that comes easy to you, so don’t fight it. You’re known for being quite the creative, so why not use those urges to put together your perfect wardrobe this fall!
You are ruled by Neptune, the god of the sea. Deep oceanic colors like dark greens, blues, and mixes of both, perfectly emulate your fluid self. Clothes with lots of room to move in such as loose pants, flowy tops and baby doll dresses are great for the season. Maybe try a long Neptune green dress with a lot of fabric if you want to feel lovely in a way that is otherworldly. Flirty patterns and textures are also the key to maintaining that ethereal glow. Furry or fuzzy cardigans can be put over top of an outfit for either a girly or edgy vibe depending on what is underneath. Don’t be afraid to mix and match those cool tones or even create a color blocked fit with maybe some green pants and a blue top.
A necklace with a stone such as sapphire, emerald, cobalt, or peridot would be something simple to wear with an outfit if you’re into something nice but not too showy. Hair clips have also come back in style and have become a hot accessory in the world of fashion, so try those out if you’re feeling bold! If you’re having trouble figuring out what sort of bag you should wear, I would suggest maybe a faux alligator handbag or green tinted snake skin one. Texture suits you well, and you can find that in purses as well as clothes!
