Stressed about choosing the perfect fall piece to add to your closet? We got you, girl! We’ll tell you which trend you should try based on your zodiac sign!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Small Bags

Small handbags were all the rage last week during New York Fashion Week, from influencers to the catwalk. The smaller the bag the better! Aries is one of the fiercest and most passionate signs of the zodiac, and their styles definitely reflect that. This fall, Aries, try something different — something small, understated, but still fierce and chic! My favorites are this one from Urban Outfitters and this one from H&M!

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Chunky Sneakers

Chunky sneakers have been a major trend since the summer! It’s especially seen styled with fancy dresses or skirt, giving any outfit a cool casual touch. Taurus, you crave comfort more than any other sign! This is definitely the perfect trend to try this fall — if you’re not wearing them every day already. My favorites are this one from Urban Outfitters and this one from H&M!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Chic Worker Jumpsuit

Chic worker overalls are a perfect, easy outfit to dress up or dress down. Add heels, layered necklaces and earrings for a night out. Add sneakers and a casual tote for a day running errands. That’s why they’re perfect for you, Gemini! You are amazing at adapting to any situation, so this trend would be a no-brainer for you! My favorite jumpsuits are this one from H&M and this one from Urban Outfitters

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cropped Jacket

Cropped anything has been a trend for a few years now, and for good reason — it looks great! Cropped jackets are great for the transition period, it’s a good light layer for when the temperature is not cold enough yet. Cancer, one of the most loyal signs of the zodiac, this is a sign that you need to spice up your jean jacket. Maybe doing a little DIY and cutting it is just what you need! My favorites are this one from Nastygal and this one from Urban Outfitters.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Lace Slip Dress

Lace slip dress is another trend we saw a lot in #NYFW for the next spring season, but luckily it’s also very present this fall! While at first glance, this might not be the smartest fashion decision when it’s breezy out, Leos already got it all figured out. Just add tights, a coat and boots. And it’s perfect for fall! Leo, embrace your sexiness this season and turn heads at every party (more than you already do) with this trend! My favorites are this one from H&M and this one from Nastygal!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Leopard Print Everything

A trend list is not complete without talking about the biggest one this season: leopard print. Everywhere you turn, you’ll find a million leopard print items and all of them perfect for fall. Virgo, you crave that consistency and organization in life, so you tend to stick with wearing the same pieces in your closet. This is why I’m not asking you to take a big fashion risk this fall, Virgo. You can never go wrong with leopard, it’s easy to style and will add a hint of sexiness in your life! My favorites are this piece from H&M and this one from Nastygal!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

 

Oversized Blazers

One of my personal favorite trends this season, the oversized blazer is a must-have for fall. Especially when paired with a casual pair of jeans, shorts or skirt, giving any outfit a touch of sophistication. Libra, you’re a big fan of timeless pieces and nothing screams timeless like a blazer! Make sure it’s a little over-sized though! This gives your outfit a touch of chic as if to say that you care but you don’t care that much. My favorites are this piece from H&M and this one from Urban Outfitters!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Teddy Coats

Teddy coats are another item that’s been popular for a few years now and show no signs of stopping. They’re structured enough to give a nice silhouette to any outfit, but the texture gives it a very cozy and casual feeling. This is perfect for you, Scorpio! You’re decisive but also experimental! The best of both worlds! My favorites are this piece from H&M and this one from Nastygal!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Fun Patterned Midi Skirts

Fun patterns in midi skirts are a trend that started last spring that is still here in the fall. The perfect statement piece in your closet, these skirts can be dressed up or down in so many ways! They’ll pretty much go with anything! These just scream Sagittarius, the optimist of the zodiac! I’m sure you already own a skirt like this, Sagittarius, but don’t be putting it in storage for the colder months! You can perfectly pair this with tights and boots for a fall outfit. My favorites are this piece from Nastygal and this one from Anthropologie!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Oversized Button-Up Blouses

Capricorn, I understand that you’re very practical in everything you do and that includes fashion. Which is why I chose this trend for you — the oversized button-up blouse. The perfect mix of classic and trendy, these pieces tucked into a pair of skinny jeans instantly make you look so chic and sophisticated. Roll those sleeves up and have a little fun with color this season or simply stick with the neutrals, either way, this style risk will be well worth it! My favorites are this piece from Nastygal and this one from Urban Outfitters.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Pattern Mixing

Pattern mixing is hardly anything new to you, Aquarius! I’m sure you’re already an expert on it! But my challenge for you this season is to mix some of the trendiest patterns. Whether it’s a leopard or snake print blouse with a checkered or polka-dot skirt, remember black tights, boots or a belt are essentials to tying the whole look together. Pay attention to complementary colors or neutral tones — but as the most independent sign of the zodiac, I don’t think you need much of my advice on this.  If you need an example, you can pair up this skirt and blouse from H&M for a perfect outfit!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Flowy Dresses with Chunky Boots

Pisces, as the friendliest in the zodiac, you tend to gravitate towards light and airy pieces. Your almost bohemian style is a no-brainer during the Spring or Summer, but the Fall? You’re kind of panicking and in need of some sweaters. And while you do need sweaters,  you don’t have to say goodbye to all of your summer pieces. Put on some chunky, knee-length boots and throw on a coat if you need an extra layer — and there you go, a perfect Fall outfit! Give it a shot, Pisces, you won’t regret it! My favorite pieces styled with boots are this one from H&M and this one from Nastygal!

Hopefully this list has inspired you spice up your closet this fall. And, of course, the perfect accessory for everyone this fall is a Pumpkin Spice Latte in your hand.
