If you’d like the stars to be further aligned to your favour, check out what lucky colour you should dress in this month.
Dress in a shade of pastel baby blue this month to give your luck a boost. This seasonless shade of blue is a refreshing take on signature pastels. To give this colour a sophisticated twist, look to more ‘grown up’ and structured silhouettes like a midi trench coat with a belted waist. Team with neutral tones such as grey or white for a clean, immaculate finish.

Your best bet at improving your luck this month is to dress in the colour purple more often. Though it may be a difficult colour to incorporate into your daily wardrobe, dressing in purple can actually be rather flattering for some of us as it complements the yellow undertones in Asian skin. As if you need another reason to bust out all your rich shades of violets, Ultraviolet is also the Pantone Colour of the Year. Talk about an impelling cause.

Dress in a bright zesty shade of yellow-orange this month. For easy styling, opt for a floral maxi and pair with a matching set of hoop earrings. Don a crossbody saddle bag, the ‘it’ bag that’s both functional and chic, and finish the look with a pair of statement heels.

A deep shade of reddish-brown will serve you well for the month of April. This colour can be teamed with almost any shade, given its neutral tones — so you won’t have to worry much about the hassle of styling. For a professional look that’s casual enough for both work and the weekend, team a crop top with a pair of high waisted trousers together with a carryall. Finish the look with high heeled sock boots for a chic look.

As we’ve mentioned before, the perennial swimsuit serves more than just one function (that is, swimming). It can even be worn to brunch or the office. Simply layer it on underneath a pair of jeans, a long wrap skirt or an A-line mini and you’re all set. Try out this styling hack with your lucky colour of the month: forest green.

For all you Virgos out there, don the head-turning shade of magenta this April for an extra dose of luck. Try looking to accessories and bags that are in this colour for an ensemble that still veers of the safer end of the blind-everyone-around-you scale. For a cute beach-ready look, opt for a fun printed playsuit, sandals and a headband while you accessorise away in your lucky colour.

A muted shade of terracotta rust not only looks chic, but will help amp up your luck this month too.

For a touch of quirkiness, add a pair of statement polka dotted earrings to liven up your ensemble.

For an athleisure look that’s hot off the streets and style books of Bella Hadid, wear a cropped sweater and team it with high-waisted black jeans and ankle boots. Finish with a belt bag, that’s also trending amongst street style stars right now and a pair of micro sunglasses.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, they say. We say, make it the colour to wear for the month of April — especially if you’re an Aquarius. Lemon yellow, a bold and optimistic colour, has a reputation for being difficult to wear, but it really isn’t. For some sartorial inspiration and styling tips to rock the colour, check out our guide here. Try a yellow mini dress and match with statement earrings (aren’t these lemon and spiral-shaped ones just the cutest?) and a navy blue tote.

A blueish green teal is your lucky colour this month. It’s no secret that wearing teal is a bold move, but it gives the perfect pop of colour to brighten up any look this spring. Try turquoise earrings and a teal box bag with a crop top and paperbag skirt for a chic weekend look that’s relaxed and dressed-up at the same time.
