Zodiac Style: Air Signs – Aquarius, Gemini & Libra
Do you believe in astrology? Chances are, you know your zodiac sign and have read your horoscope at least once in your life. Whether you take it seriously or scoff at the idea, one thing is for certain: astrology allows you to think about your personality on a deeper level. But did you know that astrology can also go beyond personality traits, and likes and dislikes? Some people believe astrology rules how we dress and partially dictates our personal style.
To explore the link between fashion and the stars, this bi-weekly column will break down the style of each astrological sign and include outfits inspired by the zodiac.
For the first installment, we will be looking at air signs (Aquarius, Gemini and Libra). Air signs are good communicators, flexible, and set high standards for themselves– especially style-wise. However, each of these signs has their own unique style, which you can check out below:
Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
Symbol: The Water Bearer
Traits: Eccentric, Independent, Open-Minded
Colors: Violet, Turquoise, Blue
Fashionable Aquarians: Lauren Conrad, Mischa Barton, Alicia Keys
- Aquarians have a unique sense of style that is best described as quirky and fashion-forward.
- They are usually the first to rock a new trend and don’t mind breaking fashion “rules” as long as they stay true to themselves.
- Water bearers love bright colors and try to incorporate them into every outfit– even if it’s just a small pop of color.
Looks for Inspiration
Outfit #1: Tank, Vest, Shorts, Earrings, Gladiators Outfit #2: Dress, Necklace, Clutch, Sandals
The first outfit captures the quirky and cute style Aquarians are known for. The tank has an adorable zebra graphic which I paired with some basic cuffed shorts. Layer the top under a vest with a trendy crochet detail and add some ever-popular gladiators. Accessorize with some turquoise earrings to add a pop of color and pick up on the blue of the tank top.
For the next look, I was inspired by some recent pics of Aquarian Lauren Conrad, who’s been rocking maxi dresses everywhere recently. This maxi dress is in a trendy tie-dye print and I paired it with some simple sandals in a metallic hue for balance. The necklace with the feather charm continues the laid-back look, while the fringed bag maintains the fashion-forward vibe.
Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Symbol: The Twins
Traits: Witty, Charming, Adventurous
Colors: Orange, Yellow, Magenta
Fashionable Gemini: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Zoe Saldana, Natalie Portman
- Geminis embrace youthful, eclectic and funky styles.
- Like their symbol suggests, Twins have dual personalities when it comes to clothing. Anything goes with them, but they especially love mixing casual basics with bold and one-of-a-kind pieces.
- Girls under this sign like outfits that are playful and flirty yet still look put-together.
Looks for Inspiration
Outfit #1: Top, Jeans, Bangles, Bag, Heels Outfit #2: Top, Skirt, Ring, Clutch, Flats
This sign loves to find the balance between casual and playful and the first outfit does just that. This trendy tribal top is bold, but looks great when paired with some basic dark-wash jeans. Geminis rule over the hands and arms, so I added these eclectic stacked bangles. The basic crossover bag is punched up with a fun charm, while these caged wedges are both neutral and youthful.
The second look takes wardrobe staples to a whole new level. The casual top and basic A-line skirt are anything but boring in these bright colors. The jelly flats have the flirty and young look Geminis love, while still maintaining a simple shape. The bag is funky yet structured and the cocktail ring picks up on all the colors in the outfit.
Libra (September 23- October 22)
Symbol: The Scales
Traits: Lovable, Sincere, Generous
Colors: Ivory, Pink, Light Blue
Fashionable Libras: Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Trachtenberg
- Libras have a feminine, romantic style and a love of all things luxurious.
- They are very fashion-conscious and always try to look their best, but would never be caught dead looking too flashy or gaudy.
- This sign strives to find the perfect balance between casual and glamorous, without breaking the bank.
Looks for Inspiration
Outfit #1: Tunic, Pants, Ring, Clutch, Wedges Outfit #2: Blouse, Skirt, Earrings, Bag, Heels
Libras are all about soft and romantic pieces like the drapey tunic in the first look. White pants look great with the color of the top and are both elegant and comfortable. Add some natural wedges and a matching textured cork clutch for interest. Finally, accessorize with a owl ring for a hint of whimsy.
The second outfit has a professional yet romantic feel to it. The blouse is made out of a luxurious-looking fabric with feminine detailing and is paired with a classic black pencil skirt. The t-strap heels and ruched satchel add a chic touch. Finish this look with some delicate chandelier earrings with a floral motif.

Elizabeth
Loved the aquarius outfit! it was SO nicely done!:)
I can’t wait for more post on this! it’s one of your best ideas so far!

JillAnn
LOVE Gemini and Libra! The Aquarius dress is really pretty, too. I can’t wait to see Leo!
Suzi
OH I love it! While I don’t put too much stock in astrology, it’s fun!
Would any of you CF writers be interested in doing a post on edgier style for summer? I love style that’s punky (in a slightly masculine way), but I really have no idea how to rock this style when it’s too warm for my leather jacket. I do love sundresses and the more feminine styles of summer, but I don’t always feel like being girly all the time and I’d love your guys’ creative perspective on this.
Alycia
Speaking as a Libra… you totally pegged my style! I’m REALLY girly, and the colours you suggested even reflect my favourites (especially the ivory & pink!)! I love both of these outfits SO much!!
Larissa
Personally, I’m a Libra, but I found my style to be best represented by Gemini. I also particularly enjoyed both the second looks from my sign and Aquarius.
Still, this is a really fun idea. Who knows, maybe I’ll discover my inner water, earth, or fire in the coming articles?
Besides, I don’t take astrology to heart all that much.
frances
i love the post i cant wait till they reach the fire signs.
P.S on a side not i need some articles on an edgier style you know something for the girl who likes black but isn’t a goth
Mayra
I’m a Libra and yes, I loved this! The outfits were pretty spot on, only I would’ve picked different colors. I liked this :D
Karissa
What a great post! It is a very creative idea and I can’t wait to read more! I am excited to see my sign :]
Erica
OMG..love this so unbelievably much! I can’t wait till you cover Scorpio!
BTW, for anyone who is interested…I wrote a post about being a Scorp & included my first ever Polyvore set. It’s not a style-focused post or blog, but I’d love for you to take a look!
Lily
I am a Libra, and even though I don’t completely believe in astrology, I think that it may have something to do with personal choices and preferences. The description pretty much defined my style: balanced; fashion-forward, but not too eccentric. :) I love the second outfit.
alexa
this is such a great idea!!! can’t wait for virgo :)
Magnum

Jillian
TAURUS!

Paula

Ree
What a great series! i can’t wait until Scorpio comes out also!! Do you ever include Rue21 clothing in your look sets? They have similar styles to what is shown here! =)
Ai
I don’t think very much of astrology, but you totally nailed my best friend’s (she’s a gemini) style!
I’m a Sagittarius (: can’t wait for your post on fire signs!
Trang Tran
i’m aquarius, that’s so nice!
AJ
I love this idea! The outfits are so cute and I love how you matched them to the traits and characteristics of each sign. I can’t wait for water signs! I love that dress for Aquarius from F21. I wish we have F21 here in the UK.
AJ
xxx
Zoe
Astrology is such a load of crock. I wasn’t born in any of those months but I most relate to the gemini outfit – it’s awesome!
Laura
I’m also not huge into astrology, but this is a great post! I love your “inspired by…” posts, like the Greek Goddesses one!
ARIES!!! I’m the Ram, can’t wait to see my outfits XD
Jen
Great post! Cant wait to see Cancer =D
Sam
I’m not one for astrology but this post was really fun! I love the gemini outfits. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the fire signs!
Lisa
I’m in love with Astrology, I have one of Suzanne White’s books about the chinese zodiac and I take a peek at it after meeting new people. I fit my profile to a T unlike some people, Cancer/Snake . I can’t wait to see what you come up for Cancers.
Katie Dreaper
love the post but what about Leos? leos are summer birthdays!
fds
can’t for the fire signs!! :D
Annette
I’m totally into astrology and this was a great idea. I would have never thought of fashion for astrology.. can’t wait for water signs :)
Jeannine
This post was great but my birthday is in July so i need a post on Cancer horoscope outfits cant wait for it to come out :D
marina
loved this article! it’s a really cool idea. can’t wait for the water signs.
Lena
I love this SO much!! I’m looking forward to fire signs =]
Trend Steps
I’m a gemini. Great outfits, but I really wouldn’t wear any of them. I love colour, but not that much. I love classic, easy outfits that have a hint or splash of colour in them, but not colours in the entire outfit ;)
Grace
I am an Aquarius and this really fits me.
Ellen
Wow, I never believed in astrology before, but I’m a Libra and the description fit me right on! I also feel that I relate to the celeb Libras listed, and I wear stuff just like those outfits! Who knew!?
Jessika calliway
I’m a Gemini and I personally would not wear those outfits. They are cute, don’t get me wrong, but the idea of me going out in such bright colors makes me cringe. My style as a “witty, charming Gemini” is more rocker-sexy. Think Taylor Momsen.
Jj
ok so i am a libra ..but honestly i don’t think that’s my style!i am more of an aquarius:P
Carly
I can’t believe it–you totally have me pegged! I’m a Gemini, and I adore both of the outfits/colors. And the personality traits are spot-on! Even though I don’t really buy into the whole Astrology thing, I gotta admit–they’re usually pretty darn accurate, for me at least!
JB
I’m an aquarius, but eek! I would not wear that Aquarius outfit. It’s totally not my style.
Maxine
Yes I am a hopeless romantic so I fit the Libra sign pretty well.
Diamondz~Fire
Both air and fire signs RULES THE ZODIAC!IM A SAG
Sinead
I’m a Virgo but Iove the Aquarius style here! I would defiantly buy them :)
Meg
Im a libra and from the libra style, its 80% me. I dont really like pink. My mood usually affects my colour. But i’ll always love brown, gold and indigo.
tejha jackson
hey (:
