What to Wear This July, According to Your Horoscope

We’re in the dog days of summer, and as the temperatures get hotter we may be asking ourselves: What should we be wearing? Luckily, the stars have got the answers. While we might not be doing much in the heat, the planets will be doing plenty of movement for all of us, starting on the 4th of July when fierce Mars enters steady Taurus and chatty Mercury enters sweet Cancer. This 4th doesn’t start with a bang but with quiet wave as this planetary combination encourages us to slow down and look back on our favorite nostalgic looks: Vintage, Y2K, thrifting, etc.

However, things will really heat up during the middle of the month when Mercury enters Leo on the 19th, followed by the sun moving into the lion on the 22nd. Even the shyness signs will feel the boldness of Leo in all of their looks. This is an ideal time for bold colors, dazzling prints, and showing some skin, especially during the new moon in Leo on the 28th which will encourage everyone to enjoy life.

So what do the cosmos have planned for your wardrobe this month? Check your stylescope below, and remember to check your sun, rising, and Venus sign to get the best insight (and more outfit ideas).

Aries (March 21—April 19)

Embrace the hot season by looking like a million bucks when your ruling planet, Mars, enters your value zone on the 4th, making it an ideal time to invest in pieces that you’ll be wearing all summer long—and even into other seasons. Try out bold colors and fun patterns when the sun enters your creativity zone on the 22nd.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

While it’s not your season, you’re really feeling yourself this month when Mars enters your sign on the 4th.

Gemini (May 21—June 20)

Be careful, Gemini, we’re in “summer blowout sale” season when everything is at a discount—or is it?
