Fall is officially here, meaning it's time to pack away our summer clothes and finally start breaking out the autumn wardrobes. This is many a fashion lover's favorite time of year, and for all the style mavens who like to stay astrologically aware, we've got you covered! While our fashion recommendations are based on rigorous testing and careful reviews here at Reviewed, we've compiled a fall fashion guide for our readers who look to the stars.
This October we find ourselves in the midst of Libra season, but a pair of eclipses injects extra cosmic action into our lives. Throughout human history, eclipses have been associated with major events and the beginning and ending of major chapters. A solar eclipse in Libra on the 14th brings opportunities to start new journeys, while a lunar eclipse in Taurus on the 28th generates great emotional energy.
Eclipses can be volatile, so self-care practices are encouraged. And when it comes to feeling secure and confident, is there any better place to start than with a great outfit? You can check out our style suggestions based on your horoscope below. If you know your full chart, be sure to cross-reference your sun, rising, and moon signs for the most complete picture.
Aries: March 21 - April 19
This month, think about where you focus all of your attention, Aries.
"Commitment" is a big word for you this month, Aries. The solar eclipse occurs in your house of relationships, while the lunar eclipse happens in your house of money. You might find yourself called to explore new facets of your closest relationships (both professional and personal), while elsewhere, a wake-up call related to your finances or resources indicates where your priorities could use a shift. Let go of the attachments that no longer serve you.
A black coat isn't exactly the most exciting prospect, but it is certainly a wardrobe workhorse and a worthy investment. The oversized, military-inspired Thea Italian Wool Coat is a classic style that you'll reach for day after day this fall. Shop this style in women's sizes XXS to L.
This long wool coat will come in handy as we go deeper into chilly fall months.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
October will be productive for you, Taurus. Get to each task in style.
October is a big month for you, Taurus, with the eclipses activating your houses of wellness and self-identity. Taking steps to better yourself, big or small, can lead to important self-discoveries. This could feel like an intense time, so be sure to pace yourself and look out for a particularly productive and easy period on the days surrounding the 22nd.
Get active in style with an athletic-inspired dress, like the Doing Things Dress by Outdoor Voices. Available in three colors and in women's sizes XXS to XXXL, this piece provides ample support and comfort while you run around town.
This athletic dress has a built-in shelf bra, along with a full liner (with pockets!).
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
Stay moody and glamorous in a floral-print maxi dress from Farm Rio, Gemini.
Moody and curious is your vibe for October, Gemini. The approaching solar eclipse occurs in your house of self-expression, and the lunar eclipse stirs your subconscious. Artistic endeavors and creative expression could be especially fulfilling at this time. Spend some time exploring your inner world.
Gothic, dark florals are big this season, and the Black Ainika Sparkle Long Sleeve Maxi Dress by Farm Rio is a lush and colorful take on the trend. Shop the dress in women's sizes XXS to XL.

Cancer: June 21 - July 22
Community and safety are key this October, Cancer.
For you, Cancer, this month should reveal a lot about your sense of belonging. The solar eclipse on the 14th is in your house of home life and family, urging you to think about your roots and the places you feel safest. Meanwhile, the lunar eclipse on the 28th happens in your house of community. Pay close attention to your loved ones at this time.
Flats have been making a comeback this year, and a fashionable new pair could be just the thing for both at-home hangouts and an evening out with friends. We're fond of the Janina Flats by Sam Edelman and how they strike the right chord between classic and contemporary. Shop this style in women's shoe sizes 5 to 11.
These flats feature a stylish encrusted buckle that’ll add a homey touch to any fall fit.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
For a bold business-inspired look, Leo, reach for a strong-shouldered blazer.
October sees a continuation of last month's business-minded concerns for you, Leo. The upcoming solar eclipse is in your house of communication, suggesting a time for mapping out new ways to express and assert yourself. Meanwhile, the lunar eclipse later in the month will light up your house of career and reputation. Be prepared for epiphanies and acknowledgments in your professional life over the next few weeks.
Many designers looked to 80s power dressing for inspiration this season, and if there's one sign that can pull off a bold shoulder pad, it's you! Master the look in Zara's Tailored Double Breasted Blazer, complete with sharp shoulders and flashy buttons. Shop this piece, available in five colors, in women's sizes XS to XL.
This distinctive blazer has just enough 80s power-dressing flare.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Focus on financial matters this month, Virgo.
Personal values are a big area of focus for you this month, Virgo, as the eclipses activate the parts of your chart concerned with both money and morals. Deep reflection on your priorities, beliefs, and the things that you hold as important should prove useful at this time. Ask yourself: What sustains me (literally and figuratively), and am I due for a change in course?
October's emphasis on money and resources makes this an opportune time to step up your wallet game. Spring for a refined option, like the Numéro Sept Crossbody Wallet by Polène. The adjustable crossbody strap makes this an ideal choice for days when you're on the go and handling business.
Polène makes some of the most popular accessories on the market right now.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
Lean into the private and intimate this month with a slip dress, dear Libra.
With the sun spending most of the month in your sign, coupled with two powerful eclipses, there's a lot of attention on you right now. The solar eclipse occurs in your house of self-identity, while the lunar eclipse awakens your house of intimacy. You might feel an unusual push-and-pull between your naturally outgoing side and a need for privacy over the next few weeks.
Play up the intimate vibes by adding a silky, lingerie-inspired piece to your wardrobe this season—one of fall's key trends. The La Lune Bias Slip Dress from Shona Joy is a great option and surprisingly versatile, depending on how you choose to style it up. Shop this piece in US women's sizes 2 to 12.

This is an interesting month for you, Scorpio. The solar eclipse on the 14th signals new beginnings in your house of dreams and secrets, while the lunar eclipse holds a mirror up to your closest relationships. Pay close attention to those around you during this time; you never know what magic their words and actions could inspire in you.
A gauzy printed robe, like this Elsa Tippi Kimono by AllSaints, is a great wardrobe staple that will work both at home and while out connecting with friends. Shop this style in US women's sizes 0 to 12.
This printed kimono is a lightweight and easy to style with simple jeans and a tee.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
October is the right time to treat yourself to a new fall bag, Sagittarius.
For you, Sagittarius, October is all about the importance of daily rituals. The approaching eclipses bring action to your houses of community and routines, nudging you towards contemplation of your everyday schedule and how productive (or not) it is. Think hard about how the company you keep affects your day-to-day life.
Treat yourself to a new everyday handbag this month. We're digging the Moyen Messenger by Clare V., a practical style that still packs plenty of flair. It comes in several colors, but the oxblood is particularly on-trend.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
This month, you’re destined to stand out, Capricorn. Do it in a pair of statement earrings.
This October is a time of subtle reinvention for you, Capricorn. The upcoming eclipses will shake up your houses of career and creativity. Immersing yourself in art, music, and the things that feed your inner child could lead to surprising insights that help you envision new goals for yourself.
Crystals are big for jewelry this season, and a fanciful costume piece is a great way to both express yourself and stand out in the crowd. Consider the Harmonia Crystal Drop Earrings by Swarovski, stunning yet subdued enough to work both in and out of the boardroom.
