This Sunday – until February 18 – the sun pays its annual visit to Aquarius. Symbolised by the mythical Greek figure of the water bearer, those who fall under this fluid air sign are both visionary and independent; they’re one of the most sociable signs of the zodiac – equally creative and intellectual – but often need time for self-care and rejuvenation. No matter what your own zodiac, though, this time of the year we’re all dictated by Aquarians’ main traits – so here’s an eight-point shopping list to everything you need to buy to get through coming weeks.
1. Leave it to Miuccia Prada to match Aquarians’ visionary energy with the psychedelic prints from her Resort 2019 collection. We are currently after this Prada houndstooth single-breasted coat, ideal for current low temperatures.
2. Ward away negative energy this month with this Alighieri gold-plated necklace, which features an Aquarius-embossed pendant and an adjustable chain that can be worn at two different lengths.
3. Jewellery magpies should also note these Marni perspex earrings: part of the brand’s colourful Resort 2019 collection, they’re made of three intertwined plexiglass tubes that fade into an ocean blue degradé.
4. Dover Street Market has collaborated with experimental menswear label Affix to create a series of printed T-shirts inspired by the underwater world. In line with Aquarians’ water bearer symbol, this shell-print T-shirt is a welcome twist on the classic white tee.
5. Aquarius is sociable by nature, but those who fall under the sign often need time to recharge – there’s no better moment to fine-tune your skincare routine by investing in this Byredo’s wood-scented body cream.
6. Having reached ’It’ shoe status, Balenciaga’s knife mules now come in a new slingback iteration. Staying true to their lucky colour, Aquarians should get their hands on this pair in electric-blue satin.
7. Eccentricity is an Aquarian’s forte: this golden Prada woven metallic-leather and satin pouch will likely make its wearer stand out from the crowd.
8. The visionary Aquarian enjoys their intellect stimulated – do so with a photobook. The Swimming Pool by photographer Deanna Templeton will satisfy their watery roots: departing from Templeton’s usual style, this photo-series offers an intimate and enigmatic view of the human figure underwater.
