Dressing as summer turns to fall
Virgo birthdays run from late August to late September: Labour Day, back to school, warm days and cooler nights. In September, a long sleeve or a light jacket starts to make sense. For deeper colours later in the season, see our fall birthday outfit ideas.
- August Still summer: satin maxis, bare legs, sandals.
- Labour Day weekend A long-weekend birthday: one dress for dinner, one easy dress for a day out.
- Late September Add sleeves or a jacket; ivory and sage still work into fall.
- ReformationC$428
An ivory silk mini with long bell sleeves and a wide sash belt, for a cool September evening.

Questions people ask
What should a Virgo wear for their birthday?
A calm colour and a clean line: a sage satin maxi, or a cream or ivory dress with one detail such as rosettes, lace or a sequin corset. For a late-September birthday, add long sleeves or a light jacket.
What colours should a Virgo wear on their birthday?
In our zodiac edit, Virgo is sage, cream and ivory. Astrology doesn't set a dress code, so if those aren't you, choose any quiet colour in a good fabric — the polish matters more than the shade.
When is Virgo season?
Virgo season runs from August 23 to September 22. 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.
