Do you believe in astrology? Whether you take it seriously or scoff at the idea, chances are you know your zodiac sign and have read your horoscope at least once in your life. Did you know that astrology can also go beyond personality traits and likes/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 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 supposedly 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, Chloe Grace Moretz, 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.
Aquarius Outfit for Inspiration
Products: Top – Madewell, Jeans – Hollister, Jacket – Joe Fresh, Boots – ASOS, Earrings – Ralph Lauren
This outfit captures the quirky and cute style Aquarians are known for. The sweatshirt has an adorable starry print which I paired with edgier ripped black jeans. Layer the top under a trendy black lace bomber jacket and add some ever-popular over-the-knee boots. The sweatshirt and jeans continue the laid-back look, while the jacket and boots maintain the fashion-forward vibe. Accessorize with some turquoise earrings to add a pop of color and pick up on the blue of the sweatshirt.
Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Symbol: The Twins
Traits: Witty, Charming, Adventurous
Colors: Orange, Yellow, Magenta
Fashionable Geminis: 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.
Gemini Outfit for Inspiration
Products: Dress – Urban Outfitters, Jacket – ASOS, Ring – Etsy, Bag – Banana Republic, Flats – Kohl’s
This sign loves to find the balance between casual and playful and this outfit does just that by taking wardrobe staples to a whole new level. Shirtdresses are anything but boring in bold, bright colors. The casual denim jacket is punched up with floral embroidery. Geminis rule over the hands and are an air sign, so I added a butterfly cocktail ring in a Gemini color. The bow bag is charmingly fun yet structured. Hot pink flats have the flirty and youthful look Geminis love, while still maintaining a simple shape.
Libra (September 23- October 22)
Symbol: The Twins
Traits: Lovable, Sincere, Generous
Colors: Ivory, Pink, Light Blue
Fashionable Libras: Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow
- 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.
Libra Outfit for Inspiration
Products: Blouse – Vince Camuto, Jeans – Gap, Clutch – Nordstrom, Earrings – Kate Spade, Flats – Macy’s
Libras are all about soft and romantic outfits with a professional feel to them. The blouse is made out of a luxurious-looking fabric with feminine detailing and is paired with classic white jeans. White jeans look great with the color of the top and are both elegant and comfortable. Add some leopard print flats and a ruffled clutch for a chic touch and textural interest. Finish this look with some cute earrings with an owl motif for a hint of whimsy.

The Aquarius maxi dress outfit is soo cute!!
I’m a Capricorn, can’t wait to see my zodiac sign post 🙂
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!
thanks so much!
LOVE Gemini and Libra! The Aquarius dress is really pretty, too. I can’t wait to see Leo!
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!!
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.
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
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 😀
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 :]
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!
this is such a great idea!!! can’t wait for virgo 🙂
TAURUS!
Wow, this is so accurate! I’m Aquarius, my two best friends are Gemini and Libra, and these outfits are exactly what we dress like! Can’t wait to see the next one!
I can’t wait for the Scorpio one!
this looks great!i’m a Sag,so i’m waiting for the fires signs.
I loved these! Please do a Leo one!!!
love the idea of the post
and good outfits too
i cant wait for taurus
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! =)
i’m aquarius, that’s so nice!
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.

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!
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
Great post! Cant wait to see Cancer =D
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!
love the post but what about Leos? leos are summer birthdays!
can’t for the fire signs!! 😀
I love this SO much!! I’m looking forward to fire signs =]
ok so i am a libra ..but honestly i don’t think that’s my style!i am more of an aquarius:P
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!
Both air and fire signs RULES THE ZODIAC!IM A SAG
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.
hey (:
Yay, I love this! Astrology is so fun and interesting! I’m a Gemini and you might say it shows in the way I dress. It very much depends on my mood, I can go looking very put-together and preppy one day and the next day I go full grunge lol. I also love mixing contradictory pieces, like soft lace pink dress with leather jacket. Definitely love me a bit of an edge, but that might be my Scorpio rising showing haha – maybe that’s also the reason I don’t like colours that much like your typical Gemini, I basically wear like 3 colours (mostly black lmao). So I wouldn’t probably wear the Gemini outfit, although I find it cute 🙂
Yes I am a hopeless romantic so I fit the Libra sign pretty well.
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.
after seeing this i wish i’m Gemini!!xD
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!
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.
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.
I’m an aquarius, but eek! I would not wear that Aquarius outfit. It’s totally not my style.
What I’ve heard is that you follow your rising sign, since that’s the house that rules how you present yourself. I’m a double Pisces… but with Libra rising. And I could not stand your Pisces recs but I love love love your Libra.
