Aquarius Season | The Conversation Starter

Aquarius Season
Understanding an Aquarius through the eyes of an astrologer might seem straightforward, but in reality, it's quite the challenge. These individuals, though sharing the same zodiac sign, present an impressive diversity that defies easy categorization.
While their close neighbor Capricorn has a very distinctive and defining look, Aquarius leaves room for our imagination. Known for challenging norms and pushing beyond the expected, this Uranus-ruled sign teaches us to embrace our individual nature - whatever that looks like.
But if we are looking for the commonality in Aquarius placements, a defining trait does emerge — the audacity to be themselves. Aquarius folk are the shape-shifters of the zodiac, embracing a wide range of looks reflecting their ever-evolving and uniquely individual identities. Look to Aquarius style icons Zendaya, Emma Roberts, Harry Styles, and Julia Fox for a glimpse into this diversity. Attempting to pinpoint a single Aquarius style proves futile, as each one represents a universe of complete originality. Yet, the steadfast refusal to conform to conventional guidelines binds them closely together.
As we take inspiration from some of pop-culture's most daring Aquarius fashion moments, we are reminded of our own individuality and the consequences of confronting outdated norms. You might be judged, mis-understood or told to color inside the lines, but those perceptions often come from eyes with a narrow point of view. With the Sun entering Aquarius, we are being asked to challenge the status quo, fight for our right to individualize the human experience and bring innovative change to the world at large. Read on to draw more inspiration for this season, with our curation of Aquarius-approved looks and gifts.
1. STYLE OF SURPRISE
Fearlessly quirky and unabashedly unconventional, Aquarians excel at crafting distinctive fashion statements. They embrace controversy and spark conversations with their wardrobe choices, particularly when daring to defy the conventional norms ingrained in society.
We're not suggesting pushing boundaries to the extent of Aquarius trendsetter Julia Fox. However, the Bec + Bridge Citrus Spiral Crush Top boldly challenges our cultural inclination for minimalism and conservative silhouettes. It steps outside conventional boundaries, guaranteed to spark conversations. And you know what? Let them talk.

2. UNCONVENTIONAL JEWELRY
This might come to a surprise to most, but each astrological sign is associated with a body part. Aquarius is governed by the ankles, shins and circulatory system, symbolizing the forward movement and progressive mentality of this Uranus-ruled sign.
We chose the Wolf Circus Kennedy Beaded Anklet for this reason. While we can't promise enhanced circulation or stronger ankles for our Aquarius friends, what we can guarantee is an elevated sense of individuality. It's all about embracing and expressing your undeniable self.
3. GENDER FLUID
Aquarians effortlessly embody androgynous style, as exemplified by iconic figures like Harry Styles, Sharon Stone and the late David Bowie. They consistently embraced gender-fluid designs, showcasing a forward-thinking approach that perfectly aligns with Aquarius' commitment to equality and freedom of expression.
The Espresso Brown Kara Trousers, boasting a versatile and chic design, serve as the quintessential androgynous staple for any closet. Inspired by Sharon Stone's iconic oversized suit ensemble, these trousers become a canvas for expressing individuality and embracing the inclusive spirit championed by Aquarius. It's an open invitation—everyone is welcome!

4. SPACECRAFT CHIC
Aquarius often arises in discussions about aliens, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and cutting-edge technology. This sign acts as a symbolic bridge connecting the celestial and technological realms, urging us to explore infinite possibilities.
While we're not asserting a belief in aliens, envision this: a spacecraft lands in the unlikely event, and you'd probably want to be fashionably prepared. Adorn yourself in Aquarius-approved color palettes featuring silver, chrome, and metallic tones, embodied by the Bec + Bridge Oyster Farah Cowl Dress. Who knows, you might just secure a comfy spot in the Mother Ship.
5. ECCENTRIC EYES
In the world of pop culture, Elton John shines as a monumental style icon, and it's no coincidence that his Venus is in Aquarius. Your Venus sign is like a fashion compass, guiding your style choices and revealing how you express yourself in both relationships and personal adornment. Elton John's bold and flamboyant style stands as a vibrant testament to the eccentric and highly unique qualities associated with this zodiac sign.
Enter the Beyond Stranger Studio Freya Sunglasses—a nod to Elton John's avant-garde fashion legacy and his collection of bold vintage eyewear. Fun fact: Elton John claims he owns 250,000 pairs of sunglasses, so adding one more to your wardrobe won't hurt.

6. SOMETHING BLUE
Despite being an air sign, Aquarius is dubbed the "water-bearer" and is linked to the color blue. This paradoxical association adds complexity to the Aquarian identity, blending air's clarity with water's fluidity. The water-bearer imagery in astrology symbolizes the flow of innovative and progressive ideas, while the color blue underscores Aquarius' ability to bring forth transformative waves of intellectual and humanitarian pursuits.
We chose this corset top from Nia the Label as our "something blue", symbolizing the harmonious union of air and water elements in Aquarius. Pair this with literally anything you want and you've got yourself an Aquarius fit.
7. VINTAGE PIECES
Aquarians have an appreciation for vintage items, as they are often one-of-a-kind pieces that can't be found anywhere else. This penchant for unique and timeless treasures reflects their individualistic approach to style, where each vintage find becomes a statement piece that echoes the distinctive spirit of Aquarius.
Celebrating the beauty of bygone eras, our shop is full of unique vintage pieces fit for an Aquarius, like this Alpaca and Mohair Maxi Coat. For even more vintage drops, peep our Instagram stories and visit us in person.
