Sagittarius Birthday Outfit Ideas: Chartreuse and Butter Yellow

Sagittarius colours: chartreuse and butter yellow

Our Sagittarius line is “Chartreuse, why not.” The boldest colour in our zodiac edit, plus a softer yellow for a dressy night. Two looks:

• Chartreuse

  Night

  Our Sagittarius colour: yellow-green, unexpected in December.

• Olive chartreuse

  Day & night

  A deeper, easier version of the same colour.

• Butter yellow

  Day

  Soft yellow that looks bright in winter photos.

Look 01

Why it works+

Sagittarius gets the boldest colour in our edit. Chartreuse looks fresh next to December's black and red, and a satin slip with a corset waist keeps it polished.

Why it works+

Dressing for an early-winter birthday

Sagittarius birthdays fall from late November to December 21: the start of winter, the first snow in much of Canada, and a calendar full of holiday events. Dress for the cold and for a crowded month. For sleeves and warmer fabrics, see our fall and winter birthday outfit ideas.

• Late November Tights, boots and a wool coat; a midi or maxi rather than a mini.
• December When your birthday competes with end-of-year events, a colour nobody else is wearing makes it yours.
• Indoors Satin works inside; choose a coat you like in photos.
