While the bottomless pits of dating apps remain ceaseless, believing in something larger than yourself or your impending relationship becomes necessary. A starting point is perhaps one’s wardrobe, where each piece becomes a totem to channelise authentic energy as opposed to the overdone simplistic dictums of date-night dressing. Pessimism can be easily transformed into cosmic belief when options beyond a simple black dress and heels are freely explored. To do this, Vogue India comes with a curated set of mood boards for every zodiac sign for this cupid season and beyond.
Explore your Sun, rising, and Venus signs to truly understand your inner sartorial voice.
Aries
The first amongst the fire signs, you channel an untapped sensual energy that’s never excessively brazen or distasteful. Your slow-burn aura is palpable from afar and best expressed through layered silhouettes and bits of statement luxury. Think solid-colour dresses with subtle playful frills, lace stockings layered under hefty coats and heels as high as their standards. An element of drama can be added through statement earrings or a rare reticule, indicative of your unmatched taste.
Taurus
You, with your understated demeanour, needn’t be loud about your innate creativity or reliability. Since you are ruled by the planet Venus, your timeless embodiments of the stealth-wealth aesthetic coalesced with a bit of preppy chic. Think rugby jerseys paired with dark-brown pleated skirts, dark-wash denims with anagram tanks and a knit pullover. Complete it all with the comfiest sneaker of the season.
Gemini
Free-spirited, and ever-vacillating, you are nomads on the inside. Match your inner escapist fantasies with chunky cowboy shoes paired with Bermuda shorts, an old-cropped vintage t-shirt, a slouchy blazer and naturally wavy tresses. It’s all about tapping into your inner conflicts otherwise suppressed by the boring external world.

Cancer
Soft, and smooth-flowing, you are first and the calmest amongst the water signs. If are a Cancer, switch the late dinner for a warm luncheon and put on your softest linens, and angelic white dresses, paired with colourful shoes that only a few would appreciate. A monogram necklace or a fresh floral scent must accompany you as you prepare to fall in love.

Leo
Royalty incarnate, witnessing you walk in serves as a reminder for everyone else to never play it cool. As a Leo, be unafraid to sideline your date, courtesy regal satins in jewel tones, high-waisted flowy trousers, vertiginous heels and chunky belts—a negligible cost paid to enter your rich inner world.

Virgo
You are the ultimate emblem of nerd but make it sexy. Bayonetta glasses were made for you and must be worn to intimidate the finance bro sitting in front. To channel your subdued yet intimidating vibe, refer to a dose of 90’s minimalism: high-neck tops, tailored form-flattering trousers, long leather skirts, and kitten heels.

Libra
Give voice to your underappreciated wit and an enviable wardrobe through lively sundresses, pastel overcoats, and a mini beaded bag. Make sure to balance your innate generosity and ever-giving attitude with a chunky cuff to ward off all unserious suitors.

Scorpio
Taking you out on a date inevitably means immersing into dark, deep, and irretrievable depths. Don’t shy away from expressing this side of you. If you’re the darkest sign of the zodiac, enter a room wearing an oud-based perfume balanced with a black tulle blouse, flared trousers, crimson lips, a leather trench, and timeless Louboutin heels with small Victorian-inspired earrings.

Sagittarius
Perfectionists at heart, you are the last of the fiery signs that hold a soft emotional side underneath your scary exteriors. While you subtly yet blatantly help others solve a problem they’ve had for too long, focus on your impeccable fit: an amalgamation of opposing silhouettes seamlessly brought together through your artsy side. Cue flare velvet pants with jacquard detailing, a rapper t-shirt, Mary Janes with socks and a souvenir-esque tote.

Capricorn
The elder sister of the zodiac, your logic never feels dull. Rather, your curated existence feels like a respite from your chaotic life. As a Capricorn, don’t shy away from putting forth your intense sleekness, polished through years of healthy boundaries. Channel your less-expressed seductive side with monochromatic co-ord sets, faux fur trimmings, diamonds, and a pair of comfortable mesh black heels.

Aquarius
You don’t just try but consistently succeed at being ahead of all possible curves, especially sartorially. Your picks usually include mismatched, overlooked silhouettes and colour combinations that slowly become a part of your inimitable signature. For date night, you would thrive in embellished pants, a fitted vest under an oversized street-style jacket with a pair of comfortable loafers and solid gold studs.

Pisces
Infamous for being overtly emotional, your aura is all about an otherworldly charm lost on earth-bound humans. To amplify this whimsy for your chosen date, keep a selection of peter-pan collars, playful nail polishes, frilly socks, and vintage corsets ready. Experiment with bows tied to your distressed denims and spew your hands with crystal rings and thin metal bangles—a visual escapade that helps forget all problems.
