The Fall 2024 Trend to Adopt Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Everyone has that one friend in their life that they text when they need updates about niche topics. I happen to be one of those friends you text. My messages always include inquiries from the girlies about two topics: fashion and astrology. If I’m not getting asked what’s worth investing in for fall, then I’m being asked what planetary alignments are making their lives particularly challenging. Lately, the latter seems to be dominating the discussions in my DMs, which isn’t surprising considering that so much has been happening in the cosmos. Eclipses? Rare conjunctions? Mercury retrograde? Check, check, and check. The effects of all these transits will continue to act as a catalyst for people to make changes in their lives, whether by force or their own volition.

While not every change will be in our control, there is one powerful tool we can wield when it comes to embracing this energy: personal style. Sure, adopting a few fall trends isn’t exactly reaching for the stars compared to making life-altering shifts, but it’s still effective! In an effort to help you usher in this era of evolution effectively, I’ve decided to treat you like you’re a member of my group chat. Using my self-professed expertise in astrology and fashion, I’ve identified the best fall/winter 2024 trends for each zodiac sign based on optimal colors, personality, and current and upcoming planetary transits. Remember that you’ll want to look at your rising, Venus, and sun sign placements to get a holistic view of which trends are worth the space in your closet this season. Whether you’re well-acquainted with your entire birth chart or are new to this astrology thing, I’ve got you covered.

Is life feeling rogue lately, Virgo? Before you spend your birthday season in a full-blown panic, please take a deep breath. There’s been a lot happening cosmically. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, just came out of retrograde, Uranus and Pluto just began their backspin in the sky, and there’s an upcoming partial lunar eclipse on September 17. All these transits have translated into you grappling with unexpected challenges regarding your health, close relationships, and carefully laid-out plans. Rather than stressing out about the outcome of a situation, use this time to channel the chaos around you into creativity. If that’s easier said than done, start small by carving out time to take up a new craft or upgrade your closet. With the latter, I’d suggest adopting one specific fall trend: rouge knitwear.

Across the fall/winter 2024 runway shows, brands featured knitwear styled in slightly chaotic ways. Cardigans were haphazardly tied over the shoulders at 16Arlington, Ulla Johnson, Aeron, and Fendi. At the same time, knitted pieces used draping to create a similar illusion at Brandon Maxwell’s and Tod’s shows. While each designer embraced the messiness differently, every version of this trend will remind you that navigating curveballs can be pretty chic.

Libra, have you been as tired as a runner during the last mile of a marathon? In all fairness, you’ve been experiencing the cosmic equivalent of a game’s final quarter since the south node transitioned into Libra last July. Ruling over the karmic path in this lifetime, when this node transits into a specific sign, it marks the start of a period of massive transformation—which you’ve likely begun to witness regarding your career, relationships, and health. It’s second nature for you to make a game plan to grapple with change, but with Chiron in retrograde, it’s best to use this period to catch your breath on the bench. However, if sitting on the sidelines doesn’t speak to you, prioritize activities that bring balance back into your daily life, such as trying a new athletic routine, learning a new skill, or changing your style. Should you be leaning toward the latter, there’s no fall trend better suited to you than what I’m dubbing “back in play”—classic sportswear with contemporary twists.

Throughout the fall/winter 2024 collections, we saw designers give staples—such as tailored trousers, oversize button-down shirts, workwear jackets, and crewneck knitwear—a sense of playfulness. It’s an approach you could benefit from this fall.

Scorpio, you’re one of the few fixed signs that handle change exceptionally well—so much so that you’ve been dubbed the phoenix of the zodiac. Recent cosmic alignments have likely made your life feel slow moving as of late, leaving you craving change. Fall will give you a chance to clean the slate. Not only are we entering eclipse season, but Uranus and Pluto have also begun to retrograde in your seventh and third houses, challenging you to cultivate a better connection to the world around you. Of course, change doesn’t come without a cost. For things to be different, you must do things differently. That might mean letting go of people, perspectives, and personas that no longer suit you. Thankfully, your ruling planet, Mars, has just moved into a beneficiary placement, giving you the cosmic backing to make these massive transformations. Should you be unsure of where to begin, the easiest way to signal your fresh start is by wearing one shade this fall: gray.
