What to Wear This October, According to Your Horoscope

We’re fully into autumn this month, which means the weather is cooler and we finally get to embrace fall fashion. If you felt a little off last month, things will get lighter when Mercury leaves retrograde on the 3rd. With the planet of communication moving forward into stylish Libra on the 10th, this is a great time for dates, fall fun, and looks that can’t miss.

Our personal style gets a little darker and “witchier” starting the 23rd when both the sun and Venus enter mysterious and passionate Scorpio. As we get into the spooky season, our wardrobe matches accordingly and we will move to a darker color palette of black, gray, and deep blood reds. Break out the velvet, leather, and dramatic looks to make every day look like Halloween. 

Speaking of dramatic, buckle up because the end of the month will give us more tricks than treats when Mars goes into retrograde in Gemini on the 30th where it will stay until 2023. This can be a stressful retrograde where things feel slower than usual. Don’t make any big purchases on things that you won’t wear for longer than a season and make sure your outfits are versatile for any situations you find yourself in.

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).
