Aquarian Style
So far, we’ve talked about Scorpio and Sagittarius style, but Aquarius season is fast approaching. So, for our Aquarius’ out there, this one’s for you. Or, for those of you who maybe have an Aquarius for a best friend or family member and are looking to know what you should be shopping for their upcoming birthdays. First, let’s get to know a bit more about the Aquarius personality.
Those born under the Aquarius sign are known to be progressive thinkers, extremely independent, (almost to a fault), intellectual beings and generally they are very idealistic. Aquarius are a fixed sign which means they definitely have a streak of stubbornness which can often be interpreted as being hardheaded, but we promise they mean well. Basically, once an Aquarius has decided on something, there’s very little you can do to change their mind. They are much like Taurus’ in that way as well. Since this sign is very idealistic, there’s little that an Aquarius can’t do once they put their minds to it. They are extremely optimistic and have the brilliance to match any idea they dream up in their heads.
Some of our favorite Aquarians are Kerry Washington, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston and of course the Harry Styles. Each of these famous Aquarians are known to be very creative, independent, and of course successful celebrities. When we take a look at each of these Aquarius’ styles, we get a different story from each but there is a golden thread that we think unites them all and that’s that they are all iconic in their own unique ways. Just like a typical Aquarius. Someone like Mr. Styles would be seen as an experimental Aquarius with his infamous Gucci collaboration producing colorful statement pieces and of course his music covering a range of genres. Musician Alicia Keys and starlet Jennifer Aniston are trend setters in their own right with each of these women expressing themselves in iconic hairstyles like the “Rachel” and Ms. Keys often known for her intricate braiding styles.
So now we know that the Aquarius is someone who sets trends and doesn’t follow them. They are someone who stands out and strays from the normal and likes to make bold statements with their style. So, how can you truly lean into your Aquarius style and embrace that boldness? We suggest finding statement pieces such as jackets, shoes and handbags to spice up your wardrobe. It’s an easy way to add to your closet pieces that reflect your natural Aquarian ability to stand out and express your identity.
These Giuseppe Zanotti Bebe Platforms in the color Fuchsia are exactly what we’re talking about. We think this is something that Harry Styles could even appreciate. The velvet texture of these shoes and their platform shape and fuchsia color checks all of or boxes for Aquarius style. They’re funky, sculptural and anything but ordinary. We also like the boot version of these platforms; the Morgana Boots are a great alternative to their sky high counterparts and an excellent statement boot for winter.
Keeping in line with our velvety texture theme, these Elie Saab Velvet Pants are definitely not your everyday “mom jeans.” These bell bottom, wide leg pants in Laurel Green are a great option for a statement pant to add to your wardrobe. Plus, there’s a blazer to match. We also like this Pleated Lame Skirt with Removable Chain from Christopher Kane. We love this skirt for so many reasons. For one, it’s Gunmetal silver sheen makes us think of Game of Thrones-esque armor but with a fashion twist. We love the pleating on this skirt and the maxi length as well but the standout feature on this skirt is the removable chain belt embellished with crystals that wraps around the waist and cascades over the skirt. It’s the literal definition of statement skirt in every way imaginable.
Finally, no look is complete without of course, the proper handbag. In this case, we’re suggesting this Anima Iris Baby Zuri Bag. It’s hexagon shape, bright orange snakeskin texture and print is the perfect Aquarius statement bag. This bag is small, but mighty and the fact that it’s a “micro mini purse” only adds to that big statement Aquarians love to make. So, do any of these items align with our Aquarius readers? Do they leap out to you in ways you didn’t think they would? We want to hear from our Aquarians as to whether or not we hit the nail on the head with these statement pieces and of course, we want to wish you all a very happy birthday!
