Virgo takes centre stage in this month’s instalment of our style by star sign series, which decodes your style according to the common traits associated with your zodiac sign
Virgo, represented by the maiden, is an Earth sign ruled by the planet Mercury. Often typecast as analytical perfectionists and uptight in their preferences, Virgos, in reality, are hard-working with a curiosity for knowledge and possess a strong emotionally in-tune undercurrent and often have a sensual nature about them too.
Famous Virgos include Beyoncé, Idris Elba, Zendaya and Keanu Reeves, all of whom seamlessly shift between modest and alluring. Style-wise, this may translate into solid tailoring, and a love for investment pieces and on occasion, tastefully suggestive pieces that give a glimpse of the soft inner centre beneath their tough outer shell. Tatler shares tips on how to achieve this look.

Investing is both smart and sexy, and investing in your wardrobe will give you long-term returns in establishing your personal style. Think classic and versatile pieces like a white T-shirt or a winter coat—and consider paying a bit more for quality pieces that will last you a lifetime. In Zendaya’s case, her penchant for archival vintage is what makes her style distinctly recognisable, which makes this vintage Givenchy (by Lee McQueen) number that she wore back in February a staple for sure.
Tailored to perfection

There’s no denying that Idris Elba is a good-looking man and would look suave in just about anything, but a tailored suit is the secret ingredient for looking ten times more attractive. A proper fit—while taking into account style preferences—plus a great colour story is everything, and Elba’s monochrome chocolate suit, shirt and tie by Gucci that he wore in March communicates his classic-cool style.

Beyoncé has no shortage of standout streetwear and stage looks, often emphasising her fabulous figure and feminine sensuality. However, in this latest Cowboy Carter era, she’s been experimenting with more covered-up looks that still express those style codes. Take this white ensemble she sported in July: the gauze-like body suit is sheer enough to see the silhouette of her body while leaving enough to the imagination, the jacket cinches at the waist, and the clear stacks of bangles play into the themes of the look perfectly—in true Virgo fashion.
