We’ve been anticipating the arrival of spring for what feels like forever, and not just because it means (hopefully) sunny weather, but also because we can finally wear the spring/summer fashion trends that we first saw during the last fashion week back in September of last year.
But after wearing winter coats, oversized jumpers, and knee-high boots on repeat for the last six months, it’s suddenly hard to know where to start now that a new season has arrived, especially since there are so many trends surrounding RN. What about pairing a bomber jacket with loafers? How can you dress nude IRL but not on the red carpet? Are 3D florals still a big deal?
As it turns out, the answer may literally be written in the stars: James Justice, founder of streetwear brand Altory, analysed the SS24 runways and matched each horoscope sign with the new season trends that would best suit their personality traits.
Aries (March 21st to April 19th)
Passionate Aries are born trendsetters. Embrace the bold hues of spring’s hottest color trend, as seen on the runways of Valentino and Isabel Marant, with an eye-catching red statement piece. Awaken the pioneer within you by accentuating the color with a flowing crimson slip as a spring wedding guest dress and sophisticated crimson accessories.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus craves luxury and comfort, and the high-rise pant trend seen at Loewe, Moschino, and Louis Vuitton is the perfect combination of the two. There are so many ways to wear them, from the office to date night. Pair them with a button-down shirt for an elegant look, or throw on a cropped cardigan for a slightly cozier, yet still chic, look.

Unconventional Aquarius should make their own style statement with ultra-cool micro shorts, as seen at Gucci, Max Mara, and Hermes. Team them with an oversized leather jacket and cowboy boots for a Western-core edge that Beyoncé would approve of, plus extra coverage!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
While the idea of incorporating florals into spring may not be groundbreaking (to quote The Devil Wears Prada), flowers were seen all over the SS24 shows. Simone Rocha used fresh roses among layers of tulle, while Alexander McQueen opted for XL-sized print motifs paired with sculptural silhouettes like oversized petals. No matter how you wear it, the trend is all about creating a dreamy, feminine look, perfect for a whimsical Pisces.
