Fall Fashion By The Signs, 2011: Virgo
Fall Fashion Through The Zodiac
The Virgo dresser loves a uniform more than any other sign, even a Scorpio! Virgo loves their clothing to work every day without stress and easily presenting them as neat and attractive while not drawing too much attention to them. The Virgo is neat when dressing and this is another reason they try to master a uniform when dressing and mix it up in very subtle ways that are simple to perform. The Virgo dresser becomes confused when color and patterns are thrown in and love to keep things as easy as possible while staying neat and clean. Many Virgos that work in the arts love the all black uniform because it is slimming and easy to work with when it comes to separates. Those Virgos that work in the areas that are not the arts find a look that works for them and stay with it for years at a time.
These days it is wise to change up your look even if you are Virgo and have a uniform that works for you. If you wear pants you should look into a higher waist pant that looks flattering and brings you into the “now.” The very low waist jean is over for good reason and high waists are back in a big way. You could try the new pants and pair them with blouses instead of T.’s the way it has been done for years. The “T” look with your pants is pretty much over these days, so to get the new look you deserve you should shop blouses and tunics if you wear pants a lot and pair them together. When wearing a higher waist pant the waist can be just below the belly button to right on the true waist. Many find the higher waist pant uncomfortable after wearing the low, low cut jeans and pants so they don’t take the new waist. If you are bothered by a pant on your true waist try a pant just below the belly button for comfort and again, try blouses and sweaters while trying to lose the T. shirt look that has dominated fashion for so long.
Choose between a slim leg pant or a wide leg pant or mix them up if you love the look and ease of pants. A wide leg pant looks great this season in tweed or other classic fabrics when worn by a Virgo. If you invest in the new pants that are higher waisted you will wear them for years so don’t worry about trends. The very low, low waist is not about to return as it got so low it was over the top!
Try earth tones in blouses and remember to go for details because a Virgo is so good with them. Details like buttons on blouses that make them interesting or ties at the neck that make them classy work for a Virgo when they are wearing skirts or pants. Look for patterns that appeal to you and don’t be afraid of mixing them with your patterned pants in wool and wool mixes. Now is the time for you to change out your shape and slim is where it is for now. Slim pants that are high waist look smashing too and very neat for a Virgo. The trick for a Virgo who loves a uniform is to find a label that cuts pants and skirts that work on your figure and buy different patterns and colors in that label. It is about fit and being neat for a Virgo so trying on many labels may be important to find those that fit you right. Often a Virgo dresser hates to put in the time to try to find the right cut and label but this is the trick to finding your wardrobe! Every label is cut differently so you may wear one size in one and one size in another. You want to find at least two to three different labels that fit you well so you can mix and match in those labels to build your “uniform.”
Colors that really bring out a Virgo’s best are earth tones because they tend to relax and help the Virgo put forth an easy palette. Try to remember your fabrics and stay with those that are soft on the skin while trying beige, browns and greens found in nature. You can pump up your color by using a few of the colors found in the ocean such as blues and coral. Try to collect blouses that are fitted to the body with some lycra or other fabric that stretches to give you even more comfort. Many Virgo women look fabulous in skirts and pants that have a nice shape and blouses that button. If you are not the type for too many blouses try a turtleneck this season for they are looking new and fun with the higher waisted pants and skirts that are popular now.
When working with color make sure that all your colors mix and match and remember to bring an item you are trying to match in your bag to the store to see if you can get a perfect look. If you find a label that allows you many choices and the look is right remember to stock up on that look by changing out color but keeping the same shape. The idea for Virgos this season is to change the shape of your clothing but keep the palette of earth tones that works so well for you. Wide legged pants, thin legged, high waist pants and skirts are new and attractive and when bought in the right size can fit well and show off your body while staying classic as Virgo likes to do. If your look has been jeans because you have a casual job remember to try the new look in jeans that adds color and is thin legged or wide legged but with a waist that is higher. Clean up your look by knowing what fits well and buying only that label or labels and build your uniform for Fall. Seashell colors look great on Virgo and serve to keep them calm and the energy around them calm while keeping your clothing just a bit loose also helps you to relax.
A Virgo is not thrilled with heels most of the time. Comfort in shoes is the name of the game for them and I love the new look of flat-heeled boots for fall. You can find them in many different styles but I love the classic boot that has an almost flat heel that is not overly styled so it does not keep you locked into a look. Plain, well-made boots are great in black and brown to keep you covered all Fall and Winter and they are all around this season. Invest a bit in your boots to make sure they last for seasons and look great at all times. Boots and shoes are an investment as is a bag so you want to put your best foot forward to pump up your look. Virgo likes to have that formula to dressing so often if they buy boots in a couple colors that will work with everything they hit a home run. You want to stay away from too pointed toes and keep the toe of your boot comfortable so you don’t have to squeeze your sock and foot into your boot. Consider buying your boots a half size larger to fit a thick sock or think about going up half a size if the boot fits too snug. Size is not what matters, comfort matters and many shoes and boots are cut smaller when made at different factories and countries.
Oxfords and knock-offs of men’s shoe styles are also fun this season and a Virgo brings the “cute” to this look when they are worn with pants that fit well. If you are wearing a pant with a thin leg you could try these new men’s styles for women and set a great foot forward! Flat shoes or shoes with less than a two inch heel are the best for Virgo unless they are going out to a special event, and even then they could try a tuxedo and wear a lower heel! I love seeing a Virgo comfortable in their clothing and I believe it all starts with the shoes when it comes to style. If you find the shoes or boots that turn you on for the season you can build your look around these shoes/boots and make it sing! Keep a firm foundation on your outfits by caring about your shoes and making them count and you will always look pulled together.
If you have shoes or boots that you love and don’t want to give up don’t forget to have them seen by a shoe repair shop to brush them up, change the heel and have the repaired in any way. Virgo often does not like to throw away favorites so it helps to have them redone by tailors and shoe repair shops to get more years out of your favorites. Some items need to be updated but a good pair of shoes or boots should last you four or five years if you keep them up and buy well with great quality.
Much like Taurus, healthy hair is the way to go this season for Virgo women. There are so many products for hair because the looks these days for hair is largely built on product so finding your perfect products is important again this season. Hair should be moisturized well and if you use a crème or an oil or both it will help your hair show its color well and reflect light. Always apply your hair product that is helping you keep it healthy first and apply it to damp hair to help it stick to hair. Don’t apply product to hair that is too wet because it can slip off and not do its job. I like crèmes this season since there are so many that work for straight or curly hair but some swear by oils and those can be healthy as well. Try your friends suggestions and have your hairdresser try different products on your hair to help you get an idea of how they work.
When you apply a product to give texture make sure you apply it after you moisturize it and remember to apply it to slightly damp hair for the best effect. If you like your hair straight remember to apply a product to protect it from your straightening iron, and if you like your hair wavy remember to use much moisture to protect your hair from curling irons and the like. The idea is to get a texture to your hair that is smooth even if it is curly and that can be achieved by using great products that add moisture.
Working with the wave in your hair is a very good way to get your hair done in a hurry and Virgo often does not like working on their hair for very long. Have your hair cut to work with your waves or curls and add texture with your fingers as you dry with a diffuser. Curling your hair here and there with your fingers while drying it slowly is the healthiest way to add texture while working with your natural hair texture. Highlights and lowlights show up better when they are healthy and soft even if you have a texture in your hair so keep it healthy! If you have problems with the health of your hair remember to see a professional for help as to how to bring the shine back to your hair.
Seeing a Dermatologist is always an idea as is seeing a professional hairdresser for fixing hair that is out of shape. The best idea for Virgo is to get their hair back to a very healthy state and then choose a hairstyle that is easy to achieve and that works with their face and body. The length of your hair should look right with your body shape as well as your face and remember that the foundation of cut, color and condition is the best thing to focus on when you are Virgo. The less work the hair is for Virgo the better, but Virgos like to look nice too so simplifying their look is the best idea every season. Draw attention to the eyes with bangs or draw attention to your smile with layers around the chin. Think about the shape of your hair once you have it shining!
An attractive look for the face of Virgo is the new use of browns. Brownish blush looks new and healthy for Virgo as does a lipstick with a touch of brown in it. A tan in the Winter is very trendy these days and that can be achieved with self tanners if that is your idea of a good look this season. The brown colors for face look healthier than the pinks of last season and suit the Virgo face very well. Keeping the eye lashes dark but adding brown in eye shadow, cheeks and lips make for a new healthy face that looks open and inviting.
“Bobbi Brown” is the master of browns when it comes to face makeup so looking through that line can be very helpful when you are looking for ideas. If you like to wear a less expensive makeup try to find the same shades at a price point that works for you. Eye shadow in browns for the lower lid and beige for under the brow look new these days and natural which appeals to Virgo. If you’ve never tried a brown-based lipstick now would be the time and you can find products that do triple duty by being worn on the cheeks, lips and eyes in the color or color palette! Using one great color on all the areas of your face is a great way to get it done fast and pretty. “Bobbi Brown” has products that are meant for use in all the areas of the face as do other companies. Try the one color look to simplify things for yourself this season if you, like most Virgos, don’t like to stress your “look.” It is important to keep the eyelashes and eyebrows a bit darker but the rest of your face could be done with a sweep of the same color of brown! Keep it healthy and simple as most of you love to dress and you will put your best face forward!
Please post any questions below and think “healthy” this season for the very best look for you. A Virgo looks best when playing up the most natural beauty that they always have. Forgetting to be the critic when it comes to themselves, a Virgo can score by finding their best features and fit and showing them off!

Hi Annalisa, I love your fashion sense and your articles are very thorough. You nailed the uniform idea. I am a Virgo Sun with Venus in Leo. By day my Virgo side comes out: pants -as you said, wide legged with a fitted blouse or slim legged with a tunic and flats, but at night my Leo side comes out and I wear heels and flirty dresses (or something fun). So I have to shop for two looks. Also, you nailed the t-shirt thing. I think almost everyday I open up my t-shirt drawer, look inside, then shut it. Nothing to see there! Or wear. So over it. I love these articles. Thanks!
you read my fashion-mind annalisa. i’m having t-shirt fatigue (not that i even wear them that often!). i’m working on choosing more feminine pieces but it definitely takes more work.
i wish the high-rise/wide legged pant + blouse would work for me (it’s such a pretty and feminine look) but that’s a no-go for those of us with curves. those 70s style pants tend to look best on women with flat rears.
also…so true about finding your label!
wow, spot on, annalisa
i’m very excited about pants this season too. so many good ones to choose from!
Haha ohhh man this is all so spot on for me. Sometimes I still long for my Catholic school uniform. Another Virgo staple this time of year, I think, would be the cardigan. I have a thousand of them because you never know when it’s gonna get a tit bit nipply and you can play around layering neutrals with colors without going too crazy. I bought a few in brighter colors than normal, like a rosy pink and a really light camel brown and I’m completely digging them.
Thank you for posting! A Virgo can show us all how to dress easily when they get it right! Who doesn’t love to find the very best way to present themselves?
Ditto on the brighter colors this year, charlotte (of course mixed with neutrals). I just bought a camel coat yesterday

Hello Annalisa, Thank you for this wonderful post. I wrote a long reply, and then lost it. I will write again, but probably not today, I’m out of time. I do think you’re right on with a lot of things, at least with this Virgo. I really enjoy your fashion posts. Thank you.
