Fashion Trends

What's your sign? While this retro pick up line may no longer be in style, using the stars to aid in major decisions. Astrology is used by many to guide them through careers, relationships and diets. There's no harm is taking it a step further and asking the stars what's in your fashion future.

Aries

You probably know by now that you're a bit impulsive and take-charge. These qualities lead you to be a major trend setter who's always on the cutting edge, which can be a good or a bad thing. For this year's prom, stay away from the latest trends and stick to traditional wear. Your naturally powerful presence doesn't need help from trendy clothing to make a statement.

Taurus

You're traditional, stubborn and need stability. This coupled with your naturally athletic physique leaves you tending toward the conservative and classical. Use this tendency to your advantage this year, by searching for classical cuts in bold colors or patterns.

Gemini

There isn't much to dislike about your fashion sense. You're fun and flirty, and your personality shines through whether you're wearing sweats or a ballroom gown. Look for cutting edge trends that make you feel gorgeous. Just make sure your outfit augments your personality, instead of competing with it.

Cancer

As if it needs to be said, you're intuitive and emotional. Little things often change your mood quickly, and with your mood so changes your fashion preferences. Since you can't be sure what mood you'll be in for prom, try to shop on a neutral day and focus on fabric. Look for soft, feminine fabrics with plenty of details and interest.

Leo

Self-sufficient and exuberant, you have a tendency to go to the extremes in your tastes. You either approach an event whole-heartedly or barely give your wardrobe a thought. This year, try to temper your reactions with rich, detailed clothing and accessories. Experiment a little bit until you find something that's just you.

Virgo

As a Virgo, you're always on the move and looking for something new, but typically avoid the risks of brand new fashions. Stick to traditional prom wear this year to emphasize your natural good looks. Don't completely forsake current trends, though, and bring in a few cutting edge accessories to liven up your outfit.

Libra

With a refinement that's almost otherworldly, you're a quick study when it comes to love, friendship and fashion. The newest trends seem to be made just for you, something you should use to your advantage at prom. Be sure to balance trendy colors with traditional neutrals, lest you look ostentatious.

Scorpio

You're stable, level headed nature means you're always polished and ready for an event. Show off your allure with deep, rich colors and fabrics, such as silks and velvets. Be sure to temper these with lighter accessories, to avoid a heavy looking outfit.

Sagittarius

Why are you reading this? You're a Sagittarius, you do your own thing and don't give much concern for what others think of it. Embrace your independence while shopping for prom by looking for things that are uniquely you. Just to be safe, bring a trusted friend and listen to her if she warns of a fashion disaster.

Capricorn

You're serious, dedicated and probably have better things to do than plan for the prom. While you typically push style to the side in favor of comfort and ease, look into a more sophisticated look this year. Aim for outfits that make you look, and feel, as strong and bold as you are.

Aquarius

Unpredictability may as well be your middle name. This leads you to try every new style that heads down the runway, and those who know you envy your ability to pull off just about anything you try on. Look for bright, bold and sparkly pieces this year to showcase your outgoing personality.

Pisces

You're the original earthy girl. With an intuitive and curious nature, you're likely to be drawn to new trends for a few moments before moving on to something different. Instead of chasing down the perfect new trend, try things in soft colors and make accessories central to your style.
