Dressing for a late-winter birthday
Pisces birthdays run from February 19 to March 20: the end of winter and the first hints of spring. Evenings stay cold until mid-March, so plan sleeves or a coat. For more sleeves and warm fabrics, see our fall and winter birthday outfit ideas.
- Late February Sleeves or a long hem, tights, boots and a long coat.
- March Lighter colours start to feel right; a trench over a lilac maxi.
- March break If your birthday falls on a trip, pack one long satin dress that works for dinner.

Questions people ask
What should a Pisces wear for their birthday?
Something romantic in purple: a lilac satin maxi with flowers for dinner or a daytime plan, or deep aubergine with long sleeves for a cold night. Plan sleeves or a coat until mid-March.
What colours should a Pisces wear on their birthday?
In our zodiac edit, Pisces is orchid, lilac and aubergine. Astrology doesn't set a dress code, so if purple isn't you, any soft, romantic colour — blush or pale blue — works the same way.
When is Pisces season?
Pisces season runs from February 19 to March 20. 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.
