An astrologist on how to dress for your star sign
By Lauren Payne
How your signs’ personality can influence your style.
When you dive headfirst into the world of astrology, you’re presented with a wealth of information about yourself. You might discover what you need to feel emotionally balanced (your Moon sign), how you can be perceived by others (your Rising sign), and what might get easier for you over time (your Saturn sign). You can even decipher your personal style using your Sun sign.
Each sign of the zodiac has its unique personality, and this will always feed into the way you dress. Whether you’re a dreamy Pisces or a vibrant Leo, who you are at your core tends to seep into your style, so here’s a quick rundown on how your sign’s unique personality might influence your wardrobe.

If you’ve ever met an Aries, you’ll already know this star sign doesn’t have time to play around – they’ve got places to be, people to see, goals to kick and plans to make. The less time an Aries spends worrying about getting dressed each morning, the better. So, expect their wardrobe to be filled with comfortable chunky sneakers, a selection of vintage windbreakers, jeans and graphic tees (as well as a football jersey or two).
Taurus

A Taurus loves quality over quantity. They’ll no doubt have a list of beloved brands they rely on and tend to stay loyal to when shopping. Expect to see the dictionary definition of ‘quiet luxury’ in their wardrobe, with practical flats, a small selection of heels, cosy cashmere cardigans, quality cotton tees and tailored pants that work with absolutely everything they own.
Gemini

Geminis are prone to decision fatigue, so their wardrobe is usually filled with pieces that can easily be mixed and matched. They love tonal looks because they know wearing different shades of the same colour will work well, without draining their mental energy. They may also own a lot of co-ord sets to throw on at any time and make them feel put together. Add a large library of unique accessories, and you’ve got the perfect Gemini wardrobe.
Cancer

Cancer star signs are among the most warm and welcoming people you’ll ever meet, and their wardrobes reflect this. A Cancer is the type of person who can roll out of bed, put on their favourite tracksuit pants, a band tee they’ve had since they were 16 and a pair of ballet flats, and look impeccable. Their wardrobe is effortlessly cool, usually featuring a mix of oversized tees, chunky knits, silk skirts and vintage accessories. They don’t think too hard about how they style their looks, which is what makes their style so amazing.
Leo

It’s easy to spot a Leo out in the wild because they’re always wearing the coolest outfits. Leos know how to work the trend cycle and can seamlessly incorporate even the most mind-boggling pieces into their regular outfit rotation. Leos also aren’t afraid to experiment with cut and colour, so you’ll often find them pairing the unexpected – think boxy blazers with bright yellow slip dresses, green button-ups, jorts and a bright pink pair of cowboy boots.
Virgo

A Virgo’s wardrobe may seem simple at first, with jeans, button-up shirts and a few polos, but it always includes elevated pieces with exceptional details. Their activewear will always match, their favourite blouse will have an intriguing hem and they’ll have outerwear to suit all kinds of weather. Virgos also tend to have a massive collection of bags to fill with every little knick-knack and snack “just in case”.
Libra

Libra placements don’t shy away from colour and their eye for proportion is unmatched. They know how to balance masculine and feminine silhouettes, and their day-to-day outfits may look like they belong in a Copenhagen Fashion Week street style gallery. In a Libra’s wardrobe, you’ll find every colour under the sun. They prioritise lighter fabrics, like cotton, silk and even tulle, that can be easily layered to create impactful looks that show off their artistic prowess.
Scorpio

Scorpio wardrobes are generally filled with black clothing in various fabrics and textures. There will be pops of colour like deep red, or a rich chocolate brown, and most pieces will be vintage because Scorpios love being unique. However, if you wanted to know where a Scorpio found their vintage gem, there’s probably no point in asking. A Scorpio will gatekeep their favourite vintage store if they even bothered to remember the name in the first place.
Sagittarius

Sagittarians are known to express their passionate fire through their wildly creative wardrobes. Here, you’ll find one-of-a-kind button-up shirts from small boutiques they discovered on the other side of the world, handmade jewellery inspired by their favourite ancient civilisation, or a closet full of nylon cargo pants and neo-goth pieces. If you ask, be prepared to hear the full, detailed story of how they came across their beloved piece on one of their offbeat adventures.
Capricorn

The workaholic of the Zodiac, everyone assumes a Capricorn’s wardrobe would be full of power suits and elegant loafers. While there may be a boxy blazer and some black loafers tucked in there, you may be surprised to know Capricorns also have a lot of casual pieces they adore. Capricorns love a black denim jacket, a leather bomber, a pair of vintage jeans, and a handful of classic tees because with so much going on in their busy lives, they like a simple approach to dressing best.
Aquarius

Aquarians don’t limit themselves to one specific label, colour palette or style. In an Aquarian wardrobe, you’ll find loungewear that’s worn everywhere except the lounge room, trousers they’ve borrowed from someone and forgotten to return, and a few pairs of shorts they insist on wearing until they’ve got holes in them. Aquarians will pair silver jeans with a metal band tee and look ethereal, so expect nothing to make sense when it comes to Aquarian style.
Pisces

The thing about a Pisces is they’re so easily distracted that, even if they have the perfect outfit planned, they may end up rushing out the door in the same pair of black jeans they’ve already worn twice that week. A Pisces wardrobe certainly feels like a dreamy place, with a lot of pastel blouses and sparkling slips in a variety of beautiful patterns, but it also always has a small collection of reliable basics they can reach for in a last-minute tizzy.
