Fall outerwear and ready-to-wear looks appear set to emphasise defined waists, heirloom accessories and deep, earthy colour stories, according to two astrologers, a tarot reader and a psychic who offered seasonal forecasts. The collective tone from those consulted points away from fleeting novelty and toward tailored silhouettes, softer fabrics and a renewed habit of wearing vintage pieces daily.
The Story in Pictures
David Scoroposki framed his reading around current planetary placements. “As Venus reigns supreme in her own sign of Libra, dressing now centers on harmonious beauty and unabashed finery,” he said. “Venus is the ultimate astrological signifier for fashion, and in her home placement, the focus returns to flattering silhouettes, exquisite textiles, and romantic tailoring that draws subtle attention to the lower back and waistline, especially.” From that view he expects belts, sashes and corsetry to return as visible styling devices.
Maya AlZaben, who combines publicity work with astrology, echoed the emphasis on the midriff and predicted a shift in finish once Venus moves signs. “Libra rules the waist, so I’m envisioning tighter clothing, waists cinch in, and jackets curve inward instead of hanging straight,” she said. She added that when Venus moves from Libra into Scorpio on September 10, looks will take on a darker, sexier cast.
Tarot reader Dante Sabatino drew texture and hue cues from repeating card imagery, including the 10 of pentacles, and summarised his vision as “rich, earthy colors with an almost Byzantine influence.” “There are desert tones, sand, moss green, burnt sienna and touches of red-orange, contrasted with blue and flashes of gold. I’m also seeing intricate patterns and motifs that feel Turkish, Byzantine or Middle Eastern in influence. There’s richness to it, but it doesn’t feel heavy,” he said, adding a preference for skirts and fabrics that move with the body.
Psychic Thomas John forecast a behavioural change in how people use special pieces. “We’ll move away from overly curated dressing toward vintage pieces, inherited jewelry, scarves, brooches, and unexpected combinations that make people ask, ‘Where did you find that?’” he said. He also singled out purple — plum, aubergine and royal tones — alongside burgundy and electric blue as strong colour notes, and predicted people will abandon saving fine items for rare occasions and wear them more often.
If shoppers and designers follow these readings, expect retail racks and sidewalks this autumn to foreground waist-defining tailoring, silk and draped skirts, ornate patterning and a stronger secondary market for vintage accessories. The astrology point to watch is Venus’s move on September 10, which the forecasters say could nudge the season toward darker, more sensual finishes.
