The Signs and Their Style: Part 1
Whether you’re deeply into astrology or skeptical that some moon and sun theory can determine your personality, there is plenty to learn from zodiac signs that will improve your outlook on life. Before delving into the topic, here’s a quick guide to zodiac signs.
In total, there are as many months as there are zodiac signs. The order of the astrological signs is as follows: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Despite being naturally compatible with other signs, many signs act the opposite of their traits. This comes from the rising sun and moon sign theology, which represents who you truly are and who you are perceived to be, respectively. Those traits are very apparent with the signs’ fashion style.

Aries
Aries belong to the Fire sign and like fire, they’re not afraid of experimenting even if they’ve already found a style comfortable for them. They gravitate towards tonal outfits, rocking different shades of the same color, but definitely aren’t afraid to play with multiple colors at once. Because they know who they are and what they stand for, some of their outfits are questionable to the public. A prime example is Chance The Rapper who had the internet bawling and trolling with his infamous outfit at the recent Grammys Awards Show when he paired a shirt with a baseball cap. His look was controversial because he crossed the line between formal and casual attire especially at such prominent event. Another is Lady Gaga, who came forth to explain her mysterious 2010 MTV Video Music Awards meat dress which has earned its own page on Wikipedia.
Taurus
Taurus are the tomboy of the group. Taurus manage to stay comfortable and fashion-forward while still enjoying athleisure. Although on the regular they don’t always overdress, when it’s time to pull up, they’re not afraid to make a statement. They’re just not the type to spend hours looking for an outfit because they know their go-to pieces. They do not shy away from showcasing their wardrobe as they enjoy putting the simplest pieces together to create a refined look with textiles and minimalist detailing. Some admirable Taurus include: Noah Centineo and Dance Moms’ Jojo Siwa.
Gemini
Indecisive and social butterflies, one member of the Zodiac Air signs, Gemini, are fashion’s biggest risk takers. Their indecisiveness spark different change of outfits as they despite having a similar outfit as someone else. Being social butterflies, Gemini take that as an opportunity to outshine everyone who crosses their path. Their fashion sense would be best described as a style that pushes boundaries―with unique pieces such as asymmetric coats and shoulder pads that can only be found while thrifting. Some famous Gemini include top model Naomi Campbell and Kanye West.
Cancer
If you know a Cancer, you’d know they always look like they wake up already dressed. This is the sign that does the most. They are classy and sophisticated people who are not afraid to go barefaced. What really elevates this trend is the quality of the pieces, luxe fabrics, bold patterns and conservative cuts that they pick to assemble. Their goal is to persistently show people how fashionable their clothes are and hopefully become trend-setters. They are highly imaginative, so some of their fashion clothes may be too futuristic for people to understand. So lots of fur coats and power suits. Beyonce’s sister, Solange and Will Smith’s son Jaden are both Cancers!
