The Summer Dresses to Wear, According to Your Zodiac Sign
The sun is out (sort of), and the unpredictable forecast may be causing decision paralysis when it comes to choosing the best summer dress to wear. What if, just maybe, you relinquished all control and put your sartorial fate in the hands of your horoscope? Specifically, we have scoured the zodiac and matched star signs to summer dresses to make getting ready in the morning that much easier. Whether your star sign is passionate fire, whimsical air, romantic water, or grounded earth, there is a summer dress to suit. The corset dress may be alluring to the indecisive Libra, while a naked dress will equip a Gemini for her next party. Pisces? We have you covered, and it involves several chiffon ruffles. Sun in Virgo? You'll be happy to hear there are no ruffles in sight—only a crisp shirt dress or three. The zodiac's natural-born rebels rarely follow the crowd. That's why they will be adventuring their way through summer in a dress made from denim, a fabric that's as practical as it is playful—especially when said dress is constructed from a repurposed pair of jeans. Haikure and Marques'Almeida are masters of the jean dress, while Gabriela Hearst offers up ladylike styles in clean-wash chambray. If she were alive today, we think famous Sagittarian Jane Austen would very much approve of the latter. A dress that celebrates corsetry will satisfy even the most indecisive of Librans, while appealing to their need for balance and harmony. Of course, one cannot write about corset dresses without talking about Vivienne Westwood. Do like stylish Libra Bella Hadid, who has a penchant for vintage Westwood, and find a pre-loved piece on eBay or Depop, styling it with a pearl necklace and exaggerated platforms. Alternatively, layer a bustier from Sézane or Reformation atop a crisp cotton dress. The Taurus woman's favorite place is nestled upon a cloud-like sofa, so when she does go out, she wants her outfit to be equal parts comfortable and chic. Enter: the maxi dress, ideally minimally decorated, in an earthy hue and crafted from a good-quality fabric (Tauruses prize luxury). Khaite, Posse, and St. Agni all reign supreme when it comes to the minimal maxi. Keep everything else suitably pared back; think leather flip flops, a chunky beaded necklace, and a logo-less bag. Have you ever seen a hair out of place on Zendaya, Cameron Diaz, or Beyoncé? Well, that's likely because they're Virgos—a sign known for meticulous attention to detail. We're giving the shirt dress to the Virgos, mostly because we know they'll ensure it's crisply ironed and never coffee-stained. New York designers have long loved a shirt dress, namely Tory Burch and Kate Spade, whose signature styles call for ballet flats and a ladylike bag. Leos are no wallflowers, which is why we suggest they adorn themselves with the most eye-catching blooms. Floral dresses come in endless iterations, but we're currently partial to an oversized bouquet. Magnified roses or peonies reinvigorate a simple shirt or midi dress, and make it perfect for the summer season's slew of events. If splashing out, Erdem is the natural choice—the designer's full-skirted dresses call to mind a nostalgic elegance that Leos will love. Otherwise, brands like Mango, Ro&Zo, and Rixo are advocates for petal power, whatever the season. This charismatic air sign is the perfect candidate for the sheer trend, and it's no secret that a naked dress makes for quite the conversation starter. Consider a sheath style in organza, chiffon, or mesh—as favored by Sportmax, Alaïa, and Khaite—layering it with a bandeau bra and big knickers or a neutral-colored slip, depending on how daring you feel. Cancerians don't like surprises, and there is familiarity and comfort in the calf-grazing length of a midi dress. You may prefer to eschew this season's floaty, frothy numbers for something decidedly more prim and proper. As seen at Miu Miu and Self-Portrait, one could imagine these structured shifts being worn by Cancerians including Margot Robbie, Pamela Anderson, and the late Princess Diana. They look great with heeled ballet pumps or pointed slingbacks. The creative, intellectual, and free-spirited Aquarius is often drawn to bold prints and colors, which may make the polka dot dress a curious choice. Hear us out—the humble polka dot becomes anything but boring when rendered in lipstick red (see Fendi), made sheer (Conner Ives), or matched with other spotty things (Moschino). Need more inspiration? Here is an outfit we are wearing on repeat: Susa Musa's sheer, polka dot skirt; a 1990s-inspired, fitted shirt or tee; and barely-there mules. The diligent, attention-focused Capricorn will likely appreciate the uniformity and symmetry of a striped dress. Never ones to follow the crowd, they may depart from stripes' nautical associations by opting for something deconstructed and asymmetric, as seen at Proenza Schouler. While it may be all-too tempting to opt for a boating shoe, a square-toe ballet flat or sneakerina style is pleasingly unexpected—perfect for a trailblazing Capricorn. Diana Ross, Sarah Jessica Parker, Céline Dion… Aries women are leading ladies by nature, with a fearless approach to most things, including fashion. She won't balk at a flippy, thigh-grazing hem, which is lucky because for spring 2025, designers showed exaggerated, A-line shapes that showed a lot of leg. JW Anderson's were made of leather and architected with tutu-like skirts, while Loewe's were trapeze-shaped and embellished with bright sequins. Complement the 1960s feel with a pair of space-age silver Mary Janes or ballet flats. No one will appreciate the unfettered romance of a diaphanous, ruffle-edge dress quite like this whimsical water sign. She'll be wafting around in some chiffon concoction, ideally in a sugared-almond shade and by Chloé. Free People is a great destination for ruffled fancies, including bloomers, which our Piscean may wish to layer beneath a semi-sheer smock. Sensual Scorpio knows that lace-trimmed, silk nighties are far too alluring to reserve for the bedroom. Instead, she is looking to spring 2025 catwalks for inspiration and wearing a mere wisp of a dress with chunky wooden platforms and a vintage bag (as seen at Chloé) or something more 1960s-tinged, like knee-high socks and loafers (as decreed at Miu Miu). We are buying our slinky slips from Coutille and Reformation, and those too-lovely-for-bed nighties from Smock London and If Only If.

Today in History: Father's Day celebrated in US for the first time
Today is Thursday, June 19, the 170th day of 2025. There are 195 days left in the year. This is Juneteenth. Today in history: On June 19, 1910, the first-ever Father's Day in the United States was celebrated in Spokane, Washington. (President Richard Nixon would make Father's Day a federally recognized annual observation through a proclamation in 1972.) Also on this date: In 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over and that all remaining enslaved people in Texas were free — an event now celebrated nationwide as Juneteenth. In 1953, Julius Rosenberg, 35, and his wife, Ethel, 37, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, were executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York; they were the first American civilians to be executed for espionage. In 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova completed her historic flight as the first woman in space, landing safely by parachute to conclude the Vostok 6 mission. In 1964, the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved by the U.S. Senate, 73-27, after surviving a lengthy filibuster. In 1986, University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias, the first draft pick of the Boston Celtics two days earlier, suffered a fatal cocaine-induced seizure. In 1975, former Chicago organized crime boss Sam Giancana was shot to death in the basement of his home in Oak Park, Illinois; the killing has never been solved. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Edwards v. Aguillard, struck down a Louisiana law requiring any public school teaching the theory of evolution to teach creation science as well. Today's Birthdays: Hall of Fame auto racer Shirley Muldowney is 85. Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is 80. Author Tobias Wolff is 80. Author Salman Rushdie is 78. Actor Phylicia Rashad is 77. Rock singer Ann Wilson (Heart) is 75. Actor Kathleen Turner is 71. Singer-choreographer-TV personality Paula Abdul is 63. TV host Lara Spencer is 56. Actor Jean Dujardin is 53. Actor Robin Tunney is 53. Basketball Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki is 47. Actor Zoe Saldaña is 47. Rapper Macklemore is 42. Actor Paul Dano is 41.
