Have you ever gazed up at the stars and asked the universe “what on earth am I going to pack for this vacay?”. Well, the universe hears you and now it’s answering. We’ve listed below some of our top outfit choices for Vacation Mode based on the absolutely, undenying, totally true personalities of the Zodiac 

Now, we don’t claim to be experts (although this writer might think she was born to be a witch - I’m a Cancer. Forgive me.) we know this ain’t going to be everyone's cup of tea, so relaaaaax, take a breath (that means you Aries and Leo’s) and let us know what you’re packing on your next vacay?

Sagittarius

If Carpe Diem was a person, they would be a Saggitarius because we can literally take you anywhere. As the free-spirited, adventurous one in the group, your friends are always asking you to go traveling with them and it’s very rare you’ll ever say no. You love immersing yourself in different cultures and exploring exotic places because you’re such a free-spirit…and a bit of a nerd when it comes to knowledge. You need something cool and stylish that allows you to go from sipping tea at a cafe, to demolishing a 5 kilometer hike, hence, a nice athleisure set from P.E. Nation paired with your fave Nike sneakers is going to be a winning combo for you. Oh, and if this has got you thinking “I should book another holiday soon” Jetstar allows you to Afterpay flights…just sayin’. 

Pisces

Dreamy Pisces is the cool girl at your vintage store thrifting denim jackets and Connie’s. If the 90’s was a person, it’d be you babe. With a flair to turn flannel into a statement piece, you have a way of pulling off any style with your unique artistic spell. A true non-conformist at heart, your perfect holiday outfit is likely to fall from secondhand heaven Vintage Marketplace or Restated Vintage. Try on some faded jeans, a vintage tee or jumper with a bucket hat and you’re all set for…whatever trip you’re going on, Pisces.

Capricorn

There’s a joke that Capricorns are such workaholics that if you put them on vacation, they will holiday so hard you’ll think they’re gunning for a pay rise AND promotion. So when it comes to going on vacation mode, you need a style that lets you slip casually from running your empire to running up a tab at a speakeasy in Spain. Try a linen vest and matching pants, like this chic combo from DISSH. It literally screams “I’ve got my OOO vacation status on” whilst staying true to the #bossbitch you are. 

Virgo

The practical babe of the zodiac. You’re so organised, your friends don’t even bat an eyelid when you send them a 12-hour daily itinerary for where you’re going, what you’re eating and how you’ll get there. Now when we’re speaking style, form is important to you, when dressing up on your vacay, a summer maxi dress or cute mini from the Faithfull The Brand is the perfect balance of fun and sophistication. Dress this up with heels or go casual with a pair of sneakers. Either way, we know you’ll look great.

Leo

Okay so I have known A LOT of Leo’s in my lifetime so I think I can honestly say you do tend to have a flair for le dramatique (no hate), but you also make amazing travel buddies. You’re friendly, organised and easy to go with the flow, as long as it doesn’t compromise your morning beauty routine. You need something bold that makes a statement and turns heads whether you’re sunbaking by the pool in Hawaii or exploring cute-AF towns in Sweden. A queen like you should always look on-point, amiright? Some bold shades and a statement bag will add just the right amount of personality to your holiday style and no one does fierce shades better than accessories queen Poppy Lissiman

Libra 

Miss kween of #aesthetic. You’re a smart cookie, so you know how to pair things really well to pull off a style that’s fashionable and luxe, with a dash of romance. As the balanced babe in the Zodiac, you’re a great travel companion to have in a group setting because you don’t like to cause drama (you just love to hear about it, cue the popcorn). You may tend to opt for more earthy and neutral tones, so the Maara Collective, is like, your fashion soul mate.

Maara Collective is a luxury resortwear brand that collaborates with Indigenous designers, drawing inspo from Country to present within the context of fashion. Their latest collection was showcased at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, so you know you’re literally wearing runway ready clothes.

Cancer

If you had a spirit animal, it would be Cher Horowitz. You literally have tons of clothes for every occasion from every decade! From functional basics to statement making micro-trends, you’ve got it all, which makes packing for a holiday that bit harder. Try not to overthink it (typical crab) or you’ll find yourself paying hundreds for that extra suitcase you’ve brought along. You need a couple of staples that can be worn many different ways with some of your more on trend pieces. A white shirt from Zulu and Zephyr will go a long way on this trip, paired with a bright pair of Nagnata bike pants for day and a Lioness sequin mini for dancing the night away. 

Scorpio

Another moody one, but like, in a good way. We can’t fault you for staying true to your style. As the great 21st century wordsmith DJ Khalid once said “You smart. You loyal”, this is honestly true to how you express yourself with your clothes. As a sign who loves new beginnings, you like to keep a fresh closet AKA you won’t find Scorpio holding onto that jumper they were wearing when their ex dumped them. Their loss, babe. 

Scorpios are also quite adventurous when it comes to the places on your bucket list, so a practical piece from Nique paired with chunky Tony Bianco boots is the way to go. It’s the perfect combination of pairing a strong, stylish presence that also says “don’t f*** with me, I’m wearing combat boots”.

Aquarius

You’re a positive energiser bunny with a taste for quirky and boundary breaking fashion. You’re not afraid to experiment with colour in your looks and don’t ever feel the need to over-pack, because you know what you like and ain’t nobody gonna change your mind. If you haven’t checked out New Zealand based small biz Ruby we highly recommend you take a peek at their latest collections as it has Aquarius written all over it. Trendy, yet bold in form, you’re bound to find something unique here to ensure you stand out in the crowds. 

Aries 

You’re a bit of a rebel and we love it. You always seem to be the one coercing your friends into some daring, action-orientated escapade when on holidays. Like, we bet all your profile pictures are of you either a) skydiving, b) swimming with sharks or c) a selfie at Base Camp (just an observation, not a critique). And just like how you live your life, you’re not afraid to be daring and adventurous in your style - even the most introverted Aries is unafraid to express themselves. Stylerunner has all the fun activewear you need for a stylish and adventure filled holiday.

Gemini 

The world would be such a boring place without Gemini’s to fill it with their sarcastic memes and that witty sense of humor. Your Vacation status is already written the moment you book your flights and accom - you work hard, but live for the breaks. You’re always attracted to quality when it comes to clothes and that’s because you have an eye for design. Seriously. Most Gemini’s we know are either designers or into some form of creative art. Whatever it is, you got it kiddo. 

When traveling, you need a stylish yet practical outfit that says “I’m a young professional living in Melbourne'' without trying to say “I’m a young professional living in Melbourne”.  Check out Waves for those exclusive sneaker collabs and style them with sophisticated and eclectic designer pieces from INCU.
