What to wear in November 2023—based on your horoscope

November means dwindling daylight and dropping temperatures. Summer is long gone, and it’s time to lean into the darkness—a perfect metaphor for moody Scorpio season. Mercury and Mars take center stage this month. Mercury is the quickly-moving planet of communication, while Mars rules action and assertiveness. An emphasis on these two planets indicates a time of great movement and an abundance of ideas. However, the tempo of the month isn’t totally consistent as Mercury and Mars both connect and clash with the other planets, especially around November 11th and 25th.

With the stop-and-go pace of November likely to cause some frustrations, you’ll need to find ways to stay motivated throughout the coming weeks. Opt for practical yet bold and statement-making pieces that will keep you excited to get out and about. So, what should you wear this month? Check it out below! And if you know your full chart, be sure to cross-reference your sun, rising, and moon signs for the most complete and insightful information.
