Style Horoscope: Sustainable Summer Style For Your Zodiac Sign
The summer solstice has passed and it is officially summertime, which means our Cancer, Leo, and Virgo babies are in their element! On June 5th, Venus entered Leo, where it will remain through October 8th. (*Cue “Summer Love” by One Direction*.) This summer, love will be a major theme for each of us, in some way, shape, or form. Venus in Leo sets up a playful energy for the early summer (hedonists arise!)
Alas, as our dearest gay icon Oscar Wilde professed, introspection is essential in the pursuit of beauty, and the energy will shift toward reflection when Venus retrogrades from July 22nd through September 3rd. This retrograde will call us to reflect and heal patterns surrounding love, intimacy, pleasure, and beauty (hedonists, take a breather!), and is also responsible for this period being one of Venus’ longer transits through a sign (almost four months!).
While Venus is retrograde, Mercury will also station retrograde in Virgo from August 23rd to September 15th.
Love and retrogrades are defining our summer, but how will they affect our style? Scroll down to find out ;)
Reminder: these style horoscopes are based on your rising sign and are, ofc, informed by Ms. Chani Nicholas.
Nurture your creative inklings this summer and pursue moments that will excite your inner child! Retrograde season is also a great time to reflect on past creative practices. Boyko’s Suzy Dress is a bright, fun, and airy piece that will pair perfectly with the childlike wonder that you exude this summer.
Focus on infusing your home space with pleasure and/or reevaluating your family values. For days when you need to rest and recharge in the refreshing AC at home, the Hope Macaulay Chunky Knit Wave Skirt will be there for you.
Routines don’t need to be drab. Decorate your days with a little extra sparkle. You may also be writing during this time as this transit passes through your third house of communication. Shake up your daily ring set with Vitaly’s Ruin ring; it screams, “I look and create amazing things on the daily” and is made from recycled steel.
You’re finally getting that bag (and/or revising how you maintain it)! This summer is all about making money moves in silence. Banzo’s deconstructed skirts are perfect for a night out after work where you show off finally being able to afford drink prices…
Major Leo placements, you’re looking sexy AF this summer (as per usual) but especially because Venus is passing through your first house of self. Your personal life will be full of sweetness and pleasure! Venus retrograde will be a time of rethinking limiting beliefs surrounding your self-worth. Dyspnea said it best when they labeled this piece the “hot bitch summer top”.
You’re experiencing beautiful moments when it comes to your spirituality and refining your mental well-being. In case you’ve forgotten, you and your beautiful mind are born from the stars, and the Aisling Duffy Star Bag serves as a reminder of that.
There’s never a dull moment when you’re surrounded by the people who know you best, and this summer, revisiting old friendships may also inspire some inner child work. Wear Serendipitous Project’s Princess Necklace while you play mermaids with your companions this summer.
You’re experiencing growth and connection in your professional life. Like the agave plant, you’re nurturing yourself and others with your sweet water. The Santos by Monica Agave Tote is the perfect accessory as you girlboss your way to an abundant career.
Scratch your itch to travel, explore, and learn this summer. You might find yourself sipping a cold bev on the Amalfi Coast with an incredibly hot Italian person. The Caro Uccellino Mermaid Set is begging to be worn during your coastal vacay era.
Find ways to make money through your collaborations with others. Teamwork makes the dream work is the vibe and this Stefania Vaidani Linen Top will tell your collaborators you’re all about that business, but you’re also still young and hot.
Venus is passing through your 7th house of romance and you’re experiencing all the love and relationship drama it has to offer! If you do end up accidentally getting back together with your ex, Ugly Garments’ I <3 Ugly Top will prove that you’re in it for the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It’s a wellness gurl summer! You’re put together, you’re taking it easy, and you’re working on your best you. Embody your watery nature with PH5’s Nova Wavy Mini Skirt as you flow through the summer and refresh those you interact with.
