Scroll on and allow your zodiac guide you to your pre-destined spring racing carnival style.
Capricorn
22 December – 20 January
Natural-born rule followers, Capricorns are sticklers for guidelines and strict bounds. Too much freedom of choice can leave them paralysed with doubt, and a polished front is a non-negotiable. For these reasons, we advise Capricorns stick to the classics when it comes to their trackside wears.
Classic suiting and show-stopping millinery is a Capricorn’s racing wardrobe bread and butter, doing their big bit to uphold traditional racing fashion rules.

Aquarius
21 January – 18 February
Aquarians, much like their fellow water signs, are deep, imaginative and original. They enjoy their branding as independent and individual and like to dress accordingly.
For Aquarian racegoers, we recommend putting a creative twist on racing classics, like selecting a relaxed fit pantsuit in a pastel hue topped off with playful headwear, such as a tonal headband.

Pisces
19 February – 20 March
When it comes to cool-factor, Pisces have this trait in spades. Going with their strong gut instinct, paired with their trend-setting ways and adeptness for creativity, you can expect quite the memorable racing day outfit from this water sign.
Technicolour outfits, trend-focused hair pieces and a pair of cool-girl shades can all be expected within a single outfit for a day at the races.

Aries
21 March – 19 April
If there is one sign that could take out the title of top trailblazer, it’s Aries. Dynamic, quick and committed, you will never find Aries following the herd or adhering to a trend just because their friends are—quite the contrary in fact. The ever-impulsive Aries is courageous, ambitious and are more than willing to take fashion risks to be the spearhead of a sartorial movement.
All Aries attendees should look to left-of-field headwear options, including upscale leather sun visors, and have a little fun with their outfits, like the racegoer above who took style cues from those front and centre on the tract, wearing what looks to be a jockey uniform-inspired dress.

Taurus
20 April – 20 May
Taureans, just like their astrological symbol, are strength personified. They are a brave, passionate and determined bunch. So when it comes to their ideal spring racing wardrobe, they should look to an outfit that pays tribute to their powerful traits.
A well-tailored power suit should be any Taurean race goers go-to, and if you do take us up on our style advice, may we suggest selecting a scarlet hue?

Gemini
21 May – 21 June
Being that the Gemini sign is exemplified by twins, paired with their highly intelligent and expressive nature, this air sign possesses a 360-degree picture of all situations, including style-related ones.
When it comes to the spring racing attire of a Gemini, we suggest sticking to your sartorial strengths. One for being able to see the big picture when it comes to outfits, you should take advantage for your skills in carefully curating each element of a look. If you opt to wear a print, pick a salient colour out of it and echo it throughout your whole outfit, including shoes, bags and headwear.

Cancer
22 June – 22 July
If there’s one sign that will almost always err on the sign of caution, it’s Cancer. But while the water sign likes to keep things safe, they do have an undeniable creative streak, the sign saving their standout moments of creativity when they have an open opportunity for it—and spring racing season certainly presents an opening for it.
We suggest starting with the base of a tonally harmonious outfit, a beige pantsuit for example, and top it off with creatively-geared accessories, like a micro acrylic bag, structural footwear and an embellished—but think subtle—headpiece.

Leo
23 July – 22 August
There’s no denying that Leos are the most self-assured sign. With a penchant for the dramatic and natural tendencies for being bold, the fire sign, along with most people, know that they are more often than not the centre of attention—so why not embrace the trait?
We suggest staying true to form and opting for attention-grabbing pieces, such as full skirts that sway with you at every turn, tonally bold colourways and three-dimensional headwear. Bonus points for prints, strings of pearls and princess-like silhouettes.

Virgo
23 August – 22 September
Virgos demand nothing but perfection from themselves, particularly when it comes to making sartorial statements. High standard-prone and extremely analytical, a Virgo loves any opportunity to present a perfectly put together look. Basically, they are your goals-filled Pinterest feed personified.
Spring racing style-wise, we suggest translating your adoration for all things pretty and perfect into your look. Floral prints, feminine silhouettes, pearl accents and delicate detailing is where you do best, so why stray away from it?

Libra
23 September – 23 October
Not unlike their astrological predecessor, Virgo, Libras have a natural inclination towards making things beautiful, but with the added benefit of an eye for detail that is unmatched by all.
Ever-seeking out colour combinations and eye-catching patterns, the sign’s creativity and all-seeing ability paired with its skill for achieving balance, should always be harnessed when planning an outfit.
When selecting a spring racing outfit, we suggest selecting one colour and incorporating varying shades of it throughout your outfit. This allows for greater detailing within your outfit, such as patterns and textures, without causing chaos.

Scorpio
24 October – 22 November
If we could pick one sign within the zodiac that isn’t afraid of a little sensuality in their look, it would definitely be Scorpio. Passionate and brave at their core, the water sign doesn’t occupy itself time by wondering what others think. In fact, they’re not afraid of a little controversy.
When it comes to dressing for spring racing season, don’t be scared to go a little sexy with your look, but of course, not too overtly. Think plunging tuxedo jackets with matching trousers and a sleek pointed pump.

Sagittarius
23 November – 21 December
Just like its fellow fire sign, Aries, Sagittarians are the quintessential trail blazer. Independent and in no way tempted to be part of a pack, and are always secure with their decisions—you will rarely see them seeking the approval of others. For this reason, you also happen to be extremely adventurous, seeking out things that others may not so easily see.
For this spring racing season, we suggest Sagittarian racegoers embrace their nature as an extrovert. Embrace bold features, such as a bold animal print or a puffed sleeve, and fun accessories, including playful headbands and micro bags.
