Dressing for a deep-winter birthday
Aquarius birthdays fall from January 20 to February 18: the coldest stretch of the year, with Valentine's Day near the end. Sleeves, long hems and a good coat matter more now than in any other month. For more sleeves and warm fabrics, see our fall and winter birthday outfit ideas.
- Late January Long sleeves or a maxi, tights, boots and a long coat.
- Valentine's week If your birthday is near February 14, pale blue or silver stands apart from the red and pink.
- Snow Boots for the walk, heels in your bag.

Questions people ask
What should an Aquarius wear for their birthday?
Something cool and clean: an ice-blue satin maxi for dinner, or silver for the night — a long-sleeved silver maxi for the cold or a sequin mini for dancing. Plan sleeves or a long coat for January and February.
What colours should an Aquarius wear on their birthday?
In our zodiac edit, Aquarius is ice blue and silver. Astrology doesn't set a dress code, so if pale blue isn't you, choose any cool colour — navy or grey work the same way.
When is Aquarius season?
Aquarius season runs from January 20 to February 18. The first and last day can move by one day from year to year, so check your birth year if your birthday is on the edge.
