August Horoscopes
We're in the home stretch of summer, but before you start shopping for back-to-school clothes next month, you might want to consult the stars.
Since astrology is as good an excuse as any to drop some cash, we asked celeb color astrologer Rose Theodora, of Enamel Diction, what textures, patterns and, of course, colors are the best bets for the month of August. Keep reading to find out what item you can't live without this month—according to your horoscope, of course!
Karlie Kloss
You may not be traveling abroad as much as you'd like but you can certainly look like it. Wearing a pewter-colored look allows you to feel even more elegant and to radiate joy. August is your month to shine and everyone will notice your inner light (and look to you for advice), especially in this subtle-but-not shade.
Leo
Rachel Bilson
August is more of a spiritual month for you: Get reflective about the things that matter most to you and try not to be overly critical. Next month is your birthday month, so it makes sense that you are essentially taking stock of the past year. Wearing a flowy, printed red dress allows the breeze to awaken your inner senses. Don't forget: Red is one of your most empowering colors.
Virgo
Mango Flowy Print Dress, $19.99
Kim Kardashian
It's a busy month for you, but cultivating your ideas and sharing them with others should take precedence. Wearing ice blue helps you to think of the collective and to value yourself even more. If you do this, you'll profit tremendously.
Libra
Alexa Chung
You're on a career high, despite it being summer. (While everyone else is vacationing, you're busier than ever.) At the very least, you are getting a lot of prospective opportunities through work. Wearing crisp, white espadrilles on your feet will remind you to be conscientious of the path you're on.
Scorpio
Soludos Espadrille Sandal, $78.95
Rita Ora
You're feeling somewhat back to your positive self again this month, and shiny chrome shoes are just the ticket to help you to reflect a little more. You will, however, need to focus on refining your personal philosophy. It's easy to speak from experience, but be sure to consider the other person's point of view when you're in an argument.
Sagittarius
Steve Madden Stecy Sandal, $79.95
Suki Waterhouse
August makes you want to go deep and connect on a more emotional level with others. A feminine fabric, like seersucker, will help you to feel sensual and comfortable. Truth: Sometimes you need to let others in to feel real intimacy. Try it; see how it feels.
Capricorn
Lisa Marie Fernandez Tier Button Down Seersucker Dress, $545
Elizabeth Banks
There will be an eclipse in your sign on the 18th, so you'll want to be open to whatever changes await you. Wear natural-fiber accessories like a straw hat or raffia bag, to keep it real. Focus on getting clarity on why you feel different: It's likely that you are you own worst enemy.
Aquarius
Lily Collins
You're known for being empathetic, but you'll need to speak up for yourself in August. Wearing apricot gifts you with the neutrality and poise you need to do this. You need to learn to speak from an assertive neutral place (instead of a passive aggressive victim place—sorry but it's true).
Pisces
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
August is about keeping it playful for you, so get lost in something that you love. Sporting fuschia this month will stimulate your creative side—besides, you look hot wearing it. Bonus: You'll feel especially upbeat after the eclipse on the 18th, which will allow you to cut group ties that have been holding you back.
Aries
Jessica Alba
August is about connecting with your family on a much deeper level. Focusing more on family and a little less on work is just what the eclipse on the 18th has in mind for you. Midnight blue will help you to stay emotionally present and open-hearted during this time.
Taurus
Emily Ratajkowski
Communication is everything to you. This month let your enthusiasm guide you, like it always does. Be expressive in your self-expression and wear brown leather accessories to help keep your outlook realistic, especially during the eclipse on the 18th. This will support you in getting more in touch with your personal philosophy.
Gemini
Zara Foldover Flap Crossbody Bag, $49.90
Khloe Kardashian
You'll need to take care of yourself in August. If you can clear up any unpaid debts and start thinking about how you can create a seriously solid financial future, then you're golden. Wearing tan keeps your things uncomplicated, practical and simple.
