Festivities are right around the corner, and Vogue Philippines has curated an astrological guide for the season. For the Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn in your life, think elevated essentials rooted in substance, balance, and enduring style.
Throughout most of the year, our Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn loved ones keep us grounded in reality and centered in our values. They’re the type to inspire us to stay focused on their goals, just as they do. As the Zodiac’s anchor, they are rooted in substance, balance, and purpose. The best gifts to show the Earth signs in your life how much you care this season are essentials that endure, from neat, tailored layers and structured knits to thoughtful tokens and tools of the craft.
Taurus: The connoisseur
A Taurus collects beauty as evidence as life that is meant to be savored. For these calm souls nearest and dearest to you, the best presents are everyday essentials to keep and cherish for a lifetime, from timeless carryalls to clever, surrealist home decor.
Virgo: The architect
It can be a challenge to shop for someone whose tastes are as precise as a Virgo’s. But according to the stars, you can’t go wrong with all things cozy, structured, and practical. To gift the perfectionist who prefers to wait in the wings, think shapely knits that don’t distract from the work, and tools of the craft tailored to their hearts’ desires.
Capricorn: The builder
A Capricorn might be too focused on building their empires to indulge even in a little holiday shopping for themselves. For the strategist that never sleeps, option fuss-free tailoring with a fashion twist, like Thom Browne’s goose-patterned sportcoat or Ferragamo’s flamingo-printed silk skirt.
