One of my favorite manifestation methods is wearing my dreams on my sleeve. By that, I mean choosing pieces or creating outfits that resonate with whatever energy I’m calling in, whether through aesthetics, materials, or some deeper symbolic connection. In honor of the astrological new year—Aries season, the arrival of spring, and the collective sense of transformation we’re all feeling—we’ve curated a list of pieces from some of our favorite sustainable designers. These might just energetically align with what the upcoming astrological year has in store for your sign. As per use, these predictions are inspired by our astro-angel Chani Nicholas’ horoscopes for 2025. Find your rising sign and let us know which piece is calling to you! ;)
