Gemini season has officially arrived. Those born under the twinning air sign, which starts today and runs through June 21, have their time to shine. As a Gemini, I may be biased, but I would argue that this astrology season is by far the chicest time of year. Why? Just consider that some of the biggest style icons in the world are Geminis: Marilyn Monroe, Naomi Campbell, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to name a few.
According to astrologer Alice Bell, Geminis have a natural affinity for fashion, and that desire to shop won’t change this summer, despite the stay-at-home order. “Geminis stay up to date with the latest trends and they love discovering new, emerging designers,” she says. “Similar to how their thoughts are always jumping to what’s next, they tend to stay ahead of the curb with their fashion choices. Geminis are known for changing their minds often, so they may find it hard to settle on just one way of dressing.” Even if you’re not a Gemini yourself, Bell says that a desire for fashion newness will be felt by all signs in the days ahead, especially as we all try to make sense of our current seasonal wardrobes. “Everyone is going to feel like updating their closets,” says Bell. “Whereas Taurus season was about staying in and wearing sweatpants, Gemini season is about dressing up more and leaving the house to meet up with people from a distance.”
With all of this yearning for new summery pieces, Bell warns that a desire to impulse buy will heighten, and Geminis are especially prone to this. “You might be sick of having the same outfits on rotation, and you could feel more inclined to impulsively purchase a few items just to have something new to look at,” Bell says. To remedy this, Bell suggests practicing critical thinking while browsing online. “You will probably feel more inclined to shop online, but take your time before you splurge and be wary of purchasing anything super expensive," she says. "You could just want something immediately, but it’s likely that you’ll change your mind before it even arrives in the mail.”
With that in mind, read on below for five iconic Gemini looks to consider recreating for the summer. From Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s minimalist black-and-white looks (perfect for those work Zoom meetings), to Naomi Campbell’s dazzling going-out dress (for those at-home happy hours), these stylish ensembles channel the spirit of Gemini season.
