Forest green

Olive
Day & nightEarthy and easy with gold jewellery.
Light olive

Look 01
Green for dinner“quietly expensive”
- Deep green reads rich in low light
- Gold or tortoiseshell accessories
- Simple shoes: the dress does the work
Wear it to
- Birthday dinner
- Wine bar
- Spring evening event
Why it works
A deep emerald midi with a swinging skirt is the Taurus classic: refined at a dinner table, and it photographs well. An olive satin maxi with a pleated bodice is the longer, sleeker option. Pair either with gold and keep the rest simple.

Dressing for a late-spring birthday
Taurus birthdays run from late April to mid-May: warmer days, cool evenings and the first patio dinners. A maxi works without tights; bring a light layer for after sunset. For more dinner ideas by restaurant, see our birthday dinner outfit ideas.
- Late April A maxi or midi with a light trench; closed shoes if it rains.
- Mid-May Bare legs and sandals start to work; a satin maxi and a cropped jacket.
- Mother's Day weekend If your birthday shares a family weekend, a green midi works from lunch to dinner.

Questions people ask
What should a Taurus wear for their birthday?
A dress in a deep colour and a good fabric with clean lines: a deep green midi or an olive satin maxi for dinner, a lighter olive satin for a daytime plan. Add gold jewellery and keep the rest simple.
What colours should a Taurus wear on their birthday?
In our zodiac edit, Taurus is deep green and olive. Astrology doesn't set a dress code, so if green isn't you, choose any deep, quiet colour — chocolate, navy or wine look just as considered.
When is Taurus season?
Taurus season runs from April 20 to May 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.
