(Fashion and Style Based on Your Zodiac Sign)!

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Doll Profile

Knows what she wants and how to get it, it's all about being seen in public and looking her best, sophisticated, sensitive, simplicity, brilliant, simple, patient, ambitious, fearless.

Style

Her wardrobe says "bring it on, I'm ready", never looks like she's trying too hard, clean and neat, glamour not glitz, likes to wear clothes a little tight and show a little skin, never trashy, routinely buys beautiful clothing, can wear vintage well, dresses according to what she intends to achieve that day.

Capricorn Doll

Capricorn girls are practical, determined and hold great common sense. Your earth element makes you also down to earth and hardworking.

You are also witty, self-disciplined, sexy, organized; however, you can also be aloof, a snob, authoritarian, and egotistical. Let’s also not forget that you are intimidating, seeking stature everywhere, successful, and always on time; approaching life and work with a plan, a purpose, and perseverance.

More On Style

Your fashion style is anything that makes you happy; you are not a cheap buyer – you love good quality goods. You routinely buy beautiful clothes and you buy them because you want them. All your clothing is practical (just like you!), and while it may not be the latest cut, it still looks good enough. If the price is right, you’ll go so far as to get your clothing tailored, as long as it retains its timeless style.

Just a few things to keep in mind: steer clear of anything too ruffled and fringed embellished; wear more suits, straight-legged pants, fitted skirts, and well-tailored jackets. And Capricorn, worry about pleasing yourself. For colors avoid pastels; definitely, darker colors are more appealing to you. You enjoy attention getting outfits but not the flashy fashions; understated elegance is your mantra.

The best fabrics for Capricorn are simple; you rarely wear prints or patterns, but use them to jazz it up. You love black leather. Also, glossy fabrics look great on you. Avoid synthetic fabrics.
