Your July Style Horoscope Has Arrived: These Are the Sunglasses You Should Wear Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Sunglasses Based On Zodiac Sign

I don’t know about you, but I blame everything on my horoscope. I’m having the worst hair day of my life? Mercury is in retrograde. My best friend books a weekend trip to visit me? Our signs are extra compatible today. I have a surprisingly large amount of cheetah print in my wardrobe? I’m a Leo, duh. Lately I’ve gotten really into channeling my zodiac sign through what I wear—but that doesn’t mean I wear my leopard print bell bottoms every day of the week.

Take sunnies, for example. By matching the characteristics of your star sign to a pair of sunglasses, you can dip your toes into the waters of zodiac dressing without rethinking your whole look. Thankfully, sunglasses are having a major moment this season so there’s a new trend to match each sign. From risk-taking Aries to always-classic Cancer, there’s a pair of sunglasses your horoscope is practically begging you to try this season. Keep reading to find yours.
