It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new look. But how do you know what look works best for you? Well, we think you should look to the stars – which is why we’ve come up with this New Year fashion horoscope.
Aries
Uranus is moving through your Image Sector, which means you will be shaking up your image a lot. Sometimes it will work in your favour, and sometimes you’ll shake things up too much. But your fearless, experimental mood will ultimately keep you from caring too much what others think. So try that outfit or colour you’ve been too scared to try. You’ll probably end up loving it. Try something bold and unapologetic like this bright lime body con dress from F+F.
Taurus
Evolution is your buzzword for 2014, so you have to make sure you’re staying true to yourself. When it comes to your fashion, that means sticking to your preferences and tastes, even if they change throughout the year. Your success is particularly tied to your look, and more specifically how you feel about how you look, so feel free to change as your mood dictates. Get some solid basics, like this cool blue Zara pencil skirt, and add pieces that enhance your best features to make the most of your new look (or looks).
Gemini
This year, the creative and compassionate Neptune will be travelling through your Career Sector. That means your career – and your subsequent look – will be heavily influenced by creative or charitable industries. Luckily, you should be able to get a pay rise or a well-paid job at the beginning of the year, so you’ll be able to afford to dress like the stars you admire. For the office, why not try this fitted black leather dress from Reiss (once you get that big promotion)?
Cancer
Jupiter will be exploring your Image Sector in the first half of the year, making it an ideal time to really come out of your shell. Take a leaf out of Jupiter’s book, and create a look for yourself that is light-hearted and fun. In the second half of the year, Jupiter moves into your Moneymaking Sector, and all that joviality will pay off: you can expect to have lots of success in the latter half of the year. From a fashion point of view, that means you can pretty much do no wrong with your look – even when you sport this fluffy mesh skirt from Asos.
Leo
While Jupiter is in Cancer’s Image Sector, it will also be in your Spirituality Sector, bringing you lots of joy in your solo pursuits. That means you should dedicate the first half of the year to more introspective pursuits. Jupiter shifts to your Image Sector in the second half of the year, though, so that’s when you can start playing around with a dramatic makeover. Be bold and splash out on your new look, and it will soon pay off for you. Try out a kimono to reflect your more spiritual beginnings to the year, like this one from Topshop.
Virgo
You’ll have a solar eclipse falling in your Adventure Sector in April, and Jupiter will be in your Social Sector for the first half of the year. That means it’s a great time to be incredibly sociable and adventurous. Say yes to the many invitations you get, and take trips overseas when the opportunities present themselves. Dress accordingly, but make sure you impress your company, too. Your future successes may well depend on the people you meet at this time. This jacquard dress from Next is perfect for your new-found approach: it can go from the office to the weekend to a trip abroad with just a few changes of accessories.
Libra
At the first half of the year, Mars will be in your Image Sector, whilst Jupiter will be in your Career Sector. That means you’ll have the confidence to go after what you want in your work. This year, your look will be all about the power dressing – if ever there was a time to dress for the job you want, this is it. And as it happens, Neptune will spend all year in your Work Sector, so you’re likely to have the most career success in creative industries. So take your power dressing, and give it a creative twist. This flecked linen blazer from French Connection is a great way to get started.
Scorpio
Unfortunately for you, Scorpio, the first half of the year isn’t going to bring many changes for you. Fortunately, that all changes when Jupiter moves into your Career Sector in July. Then, you’ll be primed to get a great job in a glamorous industry. At the end of October, you’ll have a solar eclipse in your Image Sector, which will give you the energy and the inclination to have a radical makeover – perfect timing for your new career! Try this imitation suede biker jacket from H&M to bring some punk rock attitude to your glamorous new life.
Sagittarius
For the first seven months of the year, Jupiter will be in your Intimacy Sector, which can lead to new or deeper relationships. The planet will then move into your Adventure Sector, bringing you new an exciting opportunities. So start the year off reflecting your new romantic side, then be ready to dress the part, whatever you end up doing at the end of the year. It could be travel, or it could be writing a book, learning something new or something else that expands your horizons. This heart print shirt from Oasis is great: it’s as romantic and expansive as you will be this year.
Capricorn
This year will be a rollercoaster for you. You’ll suffer from a lunar eclipse in your Career Sector at the beginning of the year, which could mean bad things for your job or an assignment you’re working on, but a solar eclipse in April will open up new romantic opportunities – either you’ll find a new partner or you will get a big surprise from your love. Whatever happens, you’ll want cosiness and security, so thing big snuggly jumpers and comfy dresses. This cashmere waterfall cardigan by Autograph will match your mood perfectly, whether you’re in the mood comfort or a bit of romance.
Aquarius
Uranus is your ruling planet, and it is roving through your Communication Sector through most of the year. That means you’ll be more inclined to speak up when you disagree with majority consensus, and that risk-taking and bold confidence will spill over into lots of aspects of your life. From a fashion point of view, that means doing your own thing, regardless of what’s normally done. Wear bold shoes or bright colours, or clash it all up with this dress from River Island. Just make sure you’re doing it for yourself.
Pisces
To say you’ll be imaginative, sensitive and creative this year is kind of like saying roses will smell kind of nice. Still, Neptune, your ruling planet, will be travelling through your Image House this year and at the beginning of the year, Jupiter will be wandering through your Creative Sector, giving you a huge creative boost. Let this artistic power influence your look – maybe now’s the time to customise or even start sewing your own clothes. Try “P.S. – I Made This”, the DIY fashion bible by Erica Domesek.
