Numerology + fashion? Now that’s a jodi made by the stars!

Numerology says your birth number holds the key to the colours and looks that light you up -- and maybe even bring a little extra luck.

And here's how you find your birth number.

Take the day you were born and add the digits.
Example: Born on March 24? 2 + 4 = Boom. You’re a Number 6.

Each number has its own vibe, colour palette and aesthetic. Which means: Mood = aligned. Aura = glowing. Insta feed = fire.

And yes, we’ve got celeb inspo to show how the stars wear their numbers well.
