This Is Your Vintage Style Icon, According to Your Horoscope
Personal style is all about experimentation — constantly seeking inspiration from up-and-coming designers and finding ways to incorporate new seasonal elements into your wardrobe, like summer essentials. Of course, what is now new was once old (fashion is cyclical, after all), so there’s no better place to find new fashion frontiers than the past. To help navigate you through the mod miniskirts, disco divas and classic cocktail dresses, we’ve paired your horoscope with your vintage style soulmate.
1. Diana Ross: Diana Ross’ ’70s style was imbued with a sense of freedom and fearlessness that you can definitely appreciate, Aries. The metallics, sequins, jumpsuits and bright colors that dominated Ross’ wardrobe speak to your independent streak, as you’re never one to blend into the crowd. (Photo via Larry Ellis/Getty)
Taurus
2. Sophia Loren: You appreciate the finer things in life, Taurus, and so it should come as no surprise that Sophia Loren is your vintage style soulmate. The Italian screen goddess oozes luxury, but in a restrained, tasteful way that keeps people guessing. Body-con sweaters, plunging necklines and fitted waists make for a sophisticated sexiness that satisfies your pleasure-seeking soul. (Photo via Keystone/Getty)

3. Twiggy: London’s Swinging ’60s was a celebration of youth culture, short hemlines and positive vibes. Twiggy, in all her pixie-cut, mini-skirted glory, was at the helm of the movement, which makes her your fated fashion BFF. Your lively, dynamic spirit is a natural fit for the mod mentality, so don’t be afraid to rock those graphic prints and oversized earrings! (Photo via Express Newspapers/Getty)

4. Ali MacGraw: Ali MacGraw is responsible for a unique blend of New England prep with California bohemian, choosing to mix classics like a camel coat with a floaty, paisley blouse.

5. Jane Birkin: In addition to having the iconic luxury handbag named in her honor, Jane Birkin is well known for jaunting around the French countryside with a straw basket in the crook of her arm as a purse.

Aquarius
11. Jackie Kennedy: The former First Lady was the first to bring style into the White House. She had an intellectual curiosity when it came to fashion, something you have in all aspects of your life, Aquarius. Her signature blend of modern and conservative pieces sparked numerous trends. Who better to appreciate that originality and progressiveness than you, forward-thinking Aquarius?
Pisces
12. Brigitte Bardot: Not only do you and Brigitte Bardot have a compassionate streak a mile long, sweet Pisces, you both also see getting dressed as an artistic expression of your mood. Bardot swung from sultry to sweet, French muse to American collegiate, having fun and experimenting with her style. You’re totally down for that intuitive way of dressing — and of course love, that perfectly messy bedhead. (Photo via Len Trievnor/Getty)
