From Aries to Pisces, here’s our pick.
Every sign of the zodiac has a completely different emotional aesthetic. You may be charismatic and loud like a Gemini, or balanced and pleasant like a Libra….but every color in the rainbow can be morphed to match you and your personality. What follows is a color you need to wear this Summer for each sign, as well as some style inspiration from designer runways and well-known celebrities. Hopefully–you’ll give it a try.
Aries–you’re a natural born leader. (A total fit for the start of our line-up.) You’re bold, brave, (and probably the first to make plans in the groupchat.)
Red should line your wardrobe this season; a choice for the ‘spectacularly inclined.’

Gemini– you’re all for standing out. Eyes are already drawn to you–why not make it worth their while? You’re charismatic, tons of fun, and your style should communicate as well as you do. A hot pink dress with matching eyeliner is definitely your Summer look.

Light/heather Gray is soft, subtle, and simultaneously a statement. (Just like Cancers–who are known to be perfect extroverted introverts.) With the right accessories, this color is versatile. It’s perfect for a picnic, a job interview, or a first date.

Leo–you’re witty, creative, and generous with your time. I don’t doubt for a moment your Summer schedule is packed to the brim. Purple is the color for the plethora of plans you hop to all season long. (You may as well look cool doing it!)

Dark brown is definitely giving dark academia vibes. For Virgos, I can totally see it. This Summer, make that color your own–and bring a touch of Autumn to sunny days.

Libras are charming, intellectual, and totally stylish. Light purple is the move for this Summer. In my opinion, it’s the definition of chic. (Try a white eyeliner look with matching purple shadow to perfectly compliment the fit.)

Scorpio–you’re authentic in everything you do. In fact–you’re one of the only signs I trust to pull off a color as bold as you are. No matter your aesthetic, I’m sure you can incorporate orange into your Summer wardrobe flawlessly.

Yes, I know, maroon already had its moment. But, Sagittarius, it’s up to you to bring it back. As Sagittariuses are accidental trend setters, and known for their creativity, I’m sure you’ll come up with something-

Capricorn, it’s time to add a touch of something sophisticated to your wardrobe. Whether it’s through a skirt, a pair of high socks, or neat new go-go boots–there’s certainly room for dark gray in your Summer plans.

While most associate Pisces with the color blue and softer tones, I challenge you to move outside the confines of your connotation and rock some bolder and brighter choices. Add a shocking yellow eyeshadow and a fun pair of boots–and you’re an instant trendsetter.

While a lot of the style inspos above are, well, impossible to replicate without wealth or fame…. I hope each gives you a good idea of every color’s potential. As Landsend Magazine writes, “Any color can be a Summer color.” Ditch the notion that only pastels have a place in your closet this season.
For some ethical shopping recommendations, I vote TheRealReal.com, thrifting to reduce your carbon footprint, Depop (if you can avoid the overpriced nonsense), Ash & Rose’s virtual store, Bullshit Clothes’ monthly thrift drop, and many more you can find online.
