Fall Fashion By Sign, 2011: Aries

Fashion Through The Zodiac

Fall Fashion, AriesWelcome to Fall fashion, Aries! Yes, I know that many of you just hate this subject but to give you equal time I will tell you of trends that might suit you or help those that dress for Aries. Although many Aries find fashion a problem they may have to dress for work and this can bring problems if they can’t find clothing they like! An Aries only likes to wear what they like, certainly!

Menswear and pants often appeal to a person who dresses for Aries. There are some great trends for them to chew on if they decide to give them a try. The new menswear for women is more like real menswear than ever before! Little boy dressing is a hot trend while men are wearing walking shorts more and more like the designs for women. Aries women or women who dress for Aries often like pants in their uniform and there are some menswear pants that are spot on with regard to looking like real menswear.

Tucked in oxford shirts with skinny pants and a belt are a look that is huge this season. Any standard shirt style for men can now be found cut for women to be worn with pants cut in a menswear fashion. Skinny belts look best in this pulled together look and going all the way in regard to mens style looks very new this season. Pants that have skinny legs in khaki colors are out with high waists for women to wear close to the body and flatter their figure even though the styles are so easily seen as “men’s.” Make sure that if you wear this style you buy the clothing that is made for women and don’t steal too much from the little boy’s section because the shirts are now cut for women’s bodies and the pants now allow for a woman’s hips.

You can get on a full man’s look in oxford shirt and tailored khakis easily this season without looking far. You can also find these pants in colors like navy that are classic men’s colors for slacks. If you think of slacks for men and the colors they normally come in you will have the shades in mind that are out there for men’s dressing for women. It is a very flattering look because it is cut to the body so I highly recommend these new separates for Aries types who want to feel free to move while looking good and well dressed.

Jeans in crayon colors are big right now and can be found in almost any bright pigment. Red, yellow, green, all crayon colors are hot for jeans that are skinny, bringing back the skinny jean for those who loved them before! A skinny jean is so much like a legging that it will always be in style and it’s a lot of fun in a crayon color! You can forget your denim skinny jean for the time being and find some color that really motivates you, Aries types! These jeans look great with white button-down shirts, sweaters in like colors or you can try mixing crayon colors to get the look. There is a trend toward the uniforms of super heroes that provides many tops that work with these brightly colored jeans. I expect these colored jeans to be available at every price point by fall so be on the lookout! You want to look for sweaters that work with color and use neutrals or like colors with these jeans.

The jeans are like the skinny jean in the fact that they have stretch to help them fit well but they are not cut low on the hips as the earlier skinny jean and are cut higher but still below the belly button. The sort of “boyfriend” height of pants is about right for these colored pants but you would not want to buy colored jeans in a “boyfriend” cut because they have a way of looking too sloppy when they are not fitted. Remember that jeans now have so much stretch in the fabric that anyone can wear them so if you like bright colors you should be able to wear the trend. I try to only bring your attention to trends I expect to last so these jeans will be a good investment. More and more people will start to be comfortable in color and frankly, people are tired of being depressed by their clothing!

Oxford shoes are huge this fall and come in all sorts of styles and designs. You can find the classic oxford and avoid heels altogether like some Aries dressers like to do and wear them in good health! There are colored oxfords and oxfords with studs for details! There are all sorts of flats and men’s shoes out for fall for women and they look very classy while still being cute so they are fine for all ages of women.

When you wear a classic oxford with a skinny jean you have a new look that is an instant classic. You want to explore all men’s styles that are out for women now to go with the “boyfriend cut” jeans and colored jeans that will be popular! This is an Aries type’s dream because they usually hate to wear heels because being uncomfortable in their clothing is not a trade that Aries types will make to be “in fashion.” No, the Aries woman or type makes sure she is comfortable in her shoes and clothing first before she considers style.

The new accessories out for menswear fashion are very classic, and again, cute, so try a skinny tie with a button-down shirt that has a touch of stretch in it so it’s comfy! Embellished shoes are finally available have a touch of the menswear design about them so women don’t have to worry what to wear with their men’s styles. Flats that are new often tie like a man’s shoe and are still embellished a bit because embellishment is such a huge trend these days. The problem with wearing jewelry that has a ton of “bling” is about being robbed these days so clothing has become embellished as a answer to the need for “bling.” The Aries type can find “bling” in a man’s shoe these days if they choose to look. An oxford bootie is also popular and the Aries type can keep the heel short or buy in a platform look that is easy to walk in. Aries need to remember that a platform shoe is not always hard on the foot and can bring you height without costing you comfort. Try an almost flat platform shoe in a very classic style to do the trend and remember that this shoe style will be with us for some time!

Big news for makeup when we think of an Aries type woman is the nude or beige lipstick with a touch of glitter. The pigment of a lipstick instead of the sheer nude gloss is what is happening these days and the look is natural enough but still very beautiful. The idea is to wear a bit of black on the eyes and tone down the lip to a nude color that has some shine to it but remembering that lipstick is in style not lip gloss! You can have a natural lip color during the day very easily if you find the right color in a lipstick that gives you a nude lip and the look makes lips look a bit fuller without the use of chemicals in the face! The trick is for the eyes to have some black liner that is subtle for Aries type women and mascara that is thick while having nude color lips done with lipstick and not sheer gloss. If you buy one lipstick this season let it be a nude in a shiny finish to wear with your mascara that should be thicker this season!

Most Aries types can be taught and convinced to wear mascara so remember that mascara is thicker and made to show thicker lashes this season and in seasons to come. You can try new formulas in many price points to get the look or add a primer to the lashes before you apply your mascara. Trying a new thickening mascara with a primer is a great thick look that is in fashion for “now.” Eyes are toned down to just liner and mascara for this look that works with menswear or the new pant and shorts looks, so steer away from eye shadow if this style is your choice. You always want to wear something to darken your eye and the idea is to make it darker around the lash line without adding wings with a liner or any shadow. You get this look with the new formulas available from every line of makeup.

Lastly, consider dress shorts with thick tights for fall and winter with a boot or a bootie that is short-heeled. The look also works with a clog heel and tights with texture to make them thicker finishing with shorts that are cuffed and classy instead of cut-offs or beat up shorts. You can get on a very styled look with shorts now that are very classy and that may make the Aries type more comfy than wearing a short skirt because you can move better in the new dress shorts. Wearing tights with them makes them winter, and make sure the fabric is wool or heavy enough to work for fall. The new dress shorts should be tweed or colored in a menswear fashion for the best and classiest look for fall so think “menswear” again for fabric in shorts. Make sure the shorts are not tight on the thigh to avoid embarrassing fits and find them in wider cut leg holes that are more flattering!

There is something for the creative Aries types if they want to play with who they are but stay in fashion as you see above. Many of these looks will be sported by other signs who want to be comfortable but Aries women always need an update in their wardrobe if they didn’t do one last year! If you are an Aries type consider updating your wardrobe a bit since you don’t often do it! An update for an Aries type doesn’t happen very often but when they do update they look wonderful and do not settle. I love them in menswear for they lend a feminine look to a tried and true style and feel so free when they wear it!

I love this Annalisa. I have no Aries, but my Mars is in Libra so I would take this look and “girly” it up a little more than someone specifically with a lot of Aries. I also like the fact that the trend has been embraced by the fashion world and made with cuts in mind that favor the feminine. My mom is an Aries. This look would totally suit her.

Thanks Annalisa, this is great! I always struggle with fashion and tend to wear the same thing year after year, I’m a pisces (sun, merc, mars) with venus jupiter aries. Although I’m not sure that this look would work for me, (new job, but I don’t have to get dressed up) I now realize why I dress like I do.. :)

“for Aries types who want to feel free to move while”
“avoid heels altogether like some Aries dressers like to do”

Yes and yes!! I can’t feel restricted in any way by my clothes and especially my shoes….

Yah Annalisa! I’ve been looking forward to your fall fashion posts! As an Aries Sun and Venus, I’m digging this new trend you’ve described! I love the men’s look on women and yes- find it very comfortable!

I’m digging out my skinny tie collection, picking up a new fresh white oxford shirt and will keep my eye out for some trousers and shoes.

I love the wide leg trousers- are they going to still be fashionable this year or is it all skinny jeans?

The dress shorts with tights aren’t tickling my fancy so much, but like the short thick skirts with tights- will that still work? Say with a white button down, maybe a cute men’s fabric vest?

Thanks for reading!

The grand irony of this is, I subscribe to Vogue and have since 7th grade, but I don’t actually buy anything it says I have to. I just like watching the trends go in and out, like the tide… Could be the Aqua rising sociologist in me. Fashion is fascinating. Thanks for all of the stimulating posts, Annalisa.

This blog is my favourite thing ever. Astrology AND Fashion. wooo hooo!!!

Maybe my Aries moon is to account for this but I made a switch to always wearing pants around age 30. Just got fed up with skirts. So I love pantsuits. These trends are great!

<3<3<3 Looooove this<3!!! A huge page of perfect recepies for awesome style this fall.
You are great Annalisa!!

Love men's wear…I am allready on my way into full infatuation with men's wear. And is it just me , but have anyone else noticed that men's wear is made with better fabric?? I think it has to be my taurus mars / or 2nd house moon that discovered this.

I bougth this great outfit to my brother , he had birthday in early august. He barely use the cool stuff I bought him…I do though:)

Love the colored jeans trend. Getting a pair of dark green skinny jeans have been a mission for me for years. It gonna happen this fall:) I'm happy…and rust colored ones aswell. Love them!!

I work in a shoe shop, and payday is on tuesday…I tried all I wanted today. 4 pairs , all originally from 120-210 , but I get them half off!!!3 of them could camuflage as men's shoes…only size set it apart.

Sunlover, I love your avatar! That is one of my favorite pieces of art!
iathina, you sound as if you have a wonderful time with fashion and that speaks to my heart! I love it too and have enough Aries for these ideas to appeal to me as well.
Caribou and eris, thank you for much for reading! I’m pleased you enjoy the posts and I love fashion so it’s a win/win!

it’s all very much what i wear anyway. at least, for work. i’ve long lamented the lack of quality women’s dress shirts styled like men’s shirts… that last like men’s shirts… and fit women. and have arms i can move my shoulders in. and flex my biceps (which apparently a lot of women don’t have? i dunno…)
so, hopefully this means, at least for a short window, i’ll be able to find some. are there any special lines you’d recommend?

oh goodness… skinny jeans are in? Hmmm… very glad you suggested the tailored khakis because I am up for those at least! & the make-up look you have described is great for me too. Nude with mascara! I don’t use eyeliner all the time because it looks very strong on me, but I do use a dark brown eyeshadow with a very fine brush & run it around my lash line, when I want to look a little more dramatic!
Really glad you are posting these updates for us Annalisa… you always give us SO much information too… love it, thanks! =)
