Your Shopping Style: Lots of Capricorn women prefer to save time, money and trouble by employing a stylist or using a complimentary personal shopper service. Your career comes first, and clothes come second. You are the most patient person in the zodiac and will happily put your name down for an It Bag, and wait six months for it to come in. You’re a saint!
Your Signature: You dress for your job, so if you’re a bohemian artist, you’ll be seen in shredded leggings. If you’re a corporate queen, you’ll be famous for your beautifully cut jackets. If you’re a full-time mum, you’ll do the Yummy Mummy look to perfection. Your weekend wardrobe is usually spectularly sloppy and comfortable, as you love chilling out.
Your Colours: Your sign is associated with workwear shades and patterns like grey, black and pinstripes – but particularly navy blue, which is the ultimate corporate colour. Capricorn is the sign which climbs the ladder to ultimate success.
Capricorn Fashion Influences: Kate Moss is a true Capricorn who dresses to suit her job – it’s not easy being a boho bad-girl supermodel!
Ideal Gifts for You: A designer laptop case is a good Capricorn gift. So is a luxurious dressing-gown for your downtime.
Your Shopping Style: You like to shop at unusual times of the day to avoid the crowds. You believe in supporting unknown designers, so you enjoy browsing to discover them. You’re an eccentric at heart, and you enjoy shocking other people with your look – or at least raising eyebrows. You don’t like conforming and you never, ever follow a trend.
Your Signature: No Aquarian dresses like another, and you perfect your own unique look as the years go by, picking and choosing to suit yourself, rather than anybody else. You don’t really care what other people think, so you go your own sweet way. You don’t ever really start a trend, though. You’re too hard to imitate because you are a true one-off in every way!
Your Colours: You are ruled by Uranus, the planet which is linked to electricity, so you often lean towards colours which are neon-bright. Your sign is also associated with plastic and synthetics, even though you are a true environmentalist.
Aquarian Fashion Influences: Paris Hilton is an Aquarian, but so is Cathy Freeman! Both dress for themselves and not for other people.
Ideal Gifts for You: The best thing to do with an Aquarian is ask her what she wants – you’ll seldom be able to make a guess.
Your Shopping Style: You’re psychic, so you shop intuitively, or even ask your angels to lead you to the right frock or pair of shoes. Even if you don’t know it, most of your decisions are made with your gut feelings, not your head. You are ruled by your imagination and have an inspired look, drawn from ideas you pick up on TV or in films, as well as the real world.
Your Signature: Totally impractical shoes, crazy colours and anything which looks like it came from an art gallery or an old 1950s film set is very Piscean. You don’t do ordinary! You find it hard to dress for work, and can spend hours deliberating over a look which works. You like chiffons, sheer fabrics, and anything with floats – you are a fairly floaty person by nature.
Your Colours: All the colours you see in an aquarium work for you, from the bright orange stripes on a tropical fish, to the sleek grey of a shark in the tank. You are so imaginative you can make almost anything work for you – and get away with it.
Pisces Fashion Influences: Drew Barrymore is a good example of an anything-goes imaginative Piscean dresser.
Ideal Gifts for You: A voucher for a spa is ideal as you come alive when you are in water. An original artwork or piece of jewellery would also be perfect.
Your Shopping Style: You can run up the escalator faster than your rival shoppers, so you usually snap up all the sales bargains before anyone else. You’re not afraid of haggling in markets, and enjoy competing with your friends for the best discount discoveries. You’re an impatient shopper and expect super fast counter service!
Your Signature: Your wardrobe signature is cutting-edge, strong and a little masculine. There are plenty of jeans and pants in your collection. You prefer flat shoes or trainers, as high heels hold you up. You are always one season in front of your friends and enjoy being first with the latest look. You pioneer trends, and aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd.
Your Colours: Aries is ruled by Mars, the red planet, so all shades of red are traditionally associated with your sun sign. Even if you don’t wear red clothing, you may sport red-rimmed glasses, or stick loyally to scarlet lipstick or a bright red purse.
Aries Fashion Influences: The outrageous, pioneering British designer Vivienne Westwood is an Aries – so is supermodel Elle MacPherson.
Ideal Gifts for You: Gym membership or a subscription to a personal trainer are great gifts for Aries women. So is a fast red sports car - or anything else red for that matter!
Your Shopping Style: Taureans are either serious savers or big spenders, and there is usually no middle ground. You typically splurge on major investment pieces at eye-watering prices – or dig for the biggest bargains. In either case, you are particularly drawn to anything which increases its value, like collectible jewellery.
Your Signature: Taurean women either look like a million dollars (because they’ve nearly spent that much!) or they deliberately dress down, so that casual observers have no idea how rich or poor they actually are.
Your Colours: Taurus is associated with earthy browns and the lush range of green shades found in nature. If you can’t accommodate this in your wardrobe, you will probably incorporate it into your decorating scheme at home.
Taurus Fashion Influences: Audrey Hepburn was born under your sign and her pearls and little black dress reflect the true Taurus mindset.
Ideal Gifts for You: Lottery tickets are a great idea for Taureans. Gift cards will go a long way too – you’ll plan every cent you spend.
Your Shopping Style: You are the best-informed shopper in the zodiac and spend a lot of time doing your homework on the web, or reading local and international fashion magazines. You think hard about your wardrobe and enjoy the mental challenge of mixing old and new every season. You know your fashion history as well, and usually have a few fashion books.
Your Signature: Gemini women are ageless dressers and even in old age, will still look cool and contemporary. Their mobile phone is a key part of their signature style and will usually be cutting-edge or tucked away in a designer cover. Geminis usually have two distinct looks – each one reflects one of your twin selves. You avoid getting into a fashion rut.
Your Colours: Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so quicksilver – silver – is a natural colour for you. Gemini is also associated with cool, light pastels. Anything too strong or heavy doesn’t really work for your sign. You prefer to keep it light and bright.
Gemini Fashion Influences: Miss Kylie Minogue is a Gemini, and so is the gorgeous Angelina Jolie. These women really think about their image!
Ideal Gifts for You: Books and magazine subscriptions work well for Gemini. So do iPods (Geminis love tuning into their fave podcasts.)
22nd June - 22nd July
Your Shopping Style: You often shop with other family members or your partner, because it’s natural to turn to your clan for fashion advice. You trust the opinions of your nearest and dearest much more than you trust a shop assistant! You hang onto old favourites in your wardrobe for years, and will only update them when you have to. You’re a true traditionalist.
Your Signature: Cancer rules the breasts, and you may intuitively dress to show these off – whatever cup size you are! The Cancer look is comfortable, rather than try-hard. You have no problem dragging out a favourite jacket from the past, and matching it with a new pair of jeans. You’re a sentimental dresser and associate clothes with favourite memories.
Your Colours: Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so white is your colour. You are also associated with the sea, so a range of turquoise blues and soft, watery greens often appeals to you. These colours are often channelled through your jewellery.
Cancer Fashion Influences: Timeless retro dresser Debbie Harry is a Cancerian fashion icon who reflects your blast-from-the-past taste.
Ideal Gifts for You: Photo albums appeal to Cancer, as memories can be stylishly tucked away. Cookbooks are also a firm favourite.
Your Shopping Style: Leo women like to purchase from newly famous Australian designers, imported styles from London, Paris and New York or restrict their buying to a tiny handful of exclusive boutiques. They don’t like being part of the crowd, and they would rather stay at home than copy what everyone else is wearing. Leos adore good service too – preverably grovelling!
Your Signature: There is nothing ordinary or invisible about Leo wardrobes, as this sign wants to make a statement and be noticed. Women born under the sign are a sucker for a designer label, and will happily wear vintage Dior or new Gucci. Leo is associated with royalty, and thus the hat industry. You love Melbourne Cup day for this reason – or winter berets.
Your Colours: Royal colours like gold and purple have traditionally been associated with the sign of the lion. Jewel colours are also linked to women born in late July through late August. You may wear these, or just be intuitively drawn towards them.
Leo Fashion Influences: Coco Chanel is the most famous Leo fashion influence of the century, and a little Chanel in your life goes a long way.
Ideal Gifts for You: A voucher for a luxurious facial is a great Leo gift. When you think of Leo, think Princess!
Your Shopping Style: You focus on details when you shop and seldom make a random run for the stores – instead, you are well-prepared with a list, an agenda and a budget. You put together your look in the most careful and discriminating way, so even something as small as a scarf can take you days to find. There is nothing random about your shopping habits.
Your Signature: Virgo women pay attention to the finer points of stitching and cut, so that even a simple white shirt, jeans and ballet shoes can look stunning on them. They pay a great deal of attention to a no-make-up look, and very few people will ever guess how much work has gone into looking natural. They believe good health is their best fashion accessory.
Your Colours: Virgo is ruled by Mercury, like Gemini, so all shades of silver are your domain. Virgo is associated with all colours, but particularly those used in fine patterns or tightly constructed checks. Most Virgos love clever fabric patterns.
Virgo Fashion Influences: Supermodel Claudia Schiffer was born under your sign and typifies the neat, pulled-together Virgo look.
Ideal Gifts for You: A case of designer mineral water is a Virgo fantasy. A Blackberry could also be high on Virgo’s list.
Your Shopping Style: You love shopping and fashion, and can happily spend whole weekends browsing the stores and markets. Your love life is your biggest fashion motivator, and a new date always means a new frock. Even if you are in a steady relationship, you will dress to please your partner. Anything he dislikes goes to the back of the wardrobe.
Your Signature: The Libran look is exquisitely feminine, and you are not afraid of pink or girlie florals. You avoid wearing anything too extreme, powerful or strong as your mission is to flirt and make friends – not to put people off. You love clever underwear that emphasises your curves, and heels that elongate your legs. You prefer to look all-woman.
Your Colours: Libra rules the scales, and if you were born under this sign you may be drawn to pairs of colours which work well together. Some Librans mix black and white, others have a fixation with beige and white. It’s all about the symmetry.
Libra Fashion Influences: Gwyneth Paltrow is a good example of a famous Libran who understands your need for extreme femininity.
Ideal Gifts for You: If you’re single, a hot blind date would be your perfect gift. If you’re in love, flowers are always a huge hit with you.
Your Shopping Style: You keep fashion secrets like no other sign, and if you find a great discount store or a hot new designer, you will keep it to yourself. You like to control your wardrobe as much as you control the rest of your life, and you don’t do random shopping! Instead, you source the best finds online and only add to your wardrobe when you are ready to.
Your Signature: It all begins with the lingerie for Scorpio, as your sexuality is very closely linked to your sense of self-confidence and identity. You enjoy wearing the most erotic underwear beneath your work clothes, and new boyfriends are often amazed when you take off your suit. You like to look powerful, sexy, in control, and never too ‘normal.’
Your Colours: Black is your primary colour, and you are one of the few signs who can carry it off. You are also linked with nude and flesh tones, and any fabric or texture which is normally associated with erotic dressing – like fishnet or patent leather.
Scorpio Fashion Influences: Scorpios look sexy forever and spend a lot of money on maintenance – think Scorpio Demi Moore, for example.
Ideal Gifts for You: A beautiful journal or diary, preferably with a lock, suits your secretive style. An erotic book of poetry or luxury lingerie is also ideal.
Your Shopping Style: You’re a great traveller so pick your best pieces up when on the move. You also use the internet to get inspiration as to what is happening around the world. You are typically drawn to French and Italian designers, but you also have crushes on other countries, so one year you may be in Chinese cheongsams and another year, you might wear an all-American girl look.
Your Signature: You get bored easily so in fashion terms, you are always moving on, and very hard to pin down. Most of all, you are concerned with your body size and shape (big, small, tall, short) and spend a lot of time dressing to disguise the bits you don’t like. You can usually spot a Sagittarian by her luggage. She spends a lot of time and trouble on it!
Your Colours: Sagittarius rules riding and horses, so anything you find in the equestrian world is associated with your sign. Various combinations of black, white and brown belong to Sagittarius, and so do designs with fringing, spots and patches.
Sagittarian Fashion Influences: Sagittarian Brad Pitt’s jeans, leather jackets and leather boots are typical of your sign – and they’re gender-less.
Ideal Gifts for You: A horse and stable. A one-way ticket out of the country or anywhere in the country. A website design package.
