For the third installment, we will be looking at the water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) and their personal style.

Water signs have a romantic and observant nature and will often wear their emotions quite literally on their sleeve. Water girls tend to dress according to how they feel on any particular day. However, these signs have totally different styles, which you can learn more about below:

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces Symbol

Symbol: The Fish

Traits: Romantic, Imaginative, Helpful

Colors: Sea Green, Violet, Indigo

Fashionable Pisces: Whitney Port, Ashley Greene, Rihanna

  • Pisces are true romantics, which makes them drawn to flowy, feminine and delicate styles.
  • Fish girls embrace creativity and are always searching for unique and artsy accessories.
  • Pisces rules over the feet, so girls under this sign love wearing fabulous shoes.

Pisces Fashion – Outfit for Inspiration

Pisces inspired outfit with a satin teal blouse, raspberry colored trench coat, black skinny jeans, caged heels, fish earrings, pleated silver clutch, and intricate silver cuff bracelet

Products: Blouse – ASOS, Trench – JCPenney, Skinny Jeans – Topshop, Earrings – Etsy, Clutch – DSW, Cuff – OpenSky, Heels – DSW

This sign is all about romantic, dreamy pieces like this flowy satin oceanic colored kimono top. (The back has a bow!). When worn with some basic black jeans, it makes a gorgeous yet simple daytime look.

What Pisces wouldn’t love this feminine structured raspberry trench coat? After all, warm-toned fuchsia looks stunning with cooler teal shades.

Add some fabulous caged shoes (don’t the straps remind you of ocean waves?) to satisfy the Pisces love for footwear. Girls under this sign love artsy looking accessories like this interesting clutch, an intricate cuff bracelet, and the adorably unique fish earrings.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Cancer Symbol

Symbol: The Crab

Traits: Patient, Creative, Compassionate

Colors: Silver, Pearl White, Pastels

Fashionable Cancers: Diane Kruger, Jessica Simpson, Selena Gomez

  • Cancers usually dress according to their mood, so their style is forever changing, and could be completely different from one day to the next.
  • Crabs are very sentimental, so they look for clothes that have a story to them. Girls under this sign are also big fans of vintage clothing and accessories.
  • This sign loves to wear clothing that is both traditional and feminine with lots of soft details.

Cancer Fashion – Outfit for Inspiration

Cancer inspired outfit with a pale linen top, white blazer, dark blue skinny jeans, Betsey Johnson bow flats, quilted chain bag, and cameo earrings

Products: Top – Gap, Blazer – ModCloth, Jeans – Old Navy, Earrings – Etsy, Bag – ASOS, Flats – Betsey Johnson

Cancers love a traditional look and is there anything more classic than jeans and a white top? This look mixes both classic and vintage styles with a simple, soft pale linen top. Layer an always-classic white blazer to amp up the style. The jeans are a simple dark rinse.

I added some basic silver flats with a feminine bow and a vintage-looking quilted bag for interest. Finally, accessorize with some vintage-inspired delicate cameo earrings for another hint of a time gone by.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio Symbol

Symbol: The Scorpion

Traits: Dynamic, Social, Intuitive

Colors: Black, Dark Red, Purple

Fashionable Scorpios: Katy Perry, Rachel McAdams, Anne Hathaway

  • Scorpios are drawn to intense, rich colors, but usually have a closet full of dark-colored clothes.
  • This sign loves to attract attention with their clothing, but always leave a little something to the imagination.
  • A Scorpion likes simple clothes with an edge and a hint of sex appeal.

Scorpio Fashion – Outfit for Inspiration

astrology Scorpio inspired outfit with a dark red silk camisole, black motorcycle jacket, black bodycon skirt, strappy black heels, deep purple drop earrings, gold cuff bracelet

Products: Top – A&F, Jacket (vegan) – Lulus, Skirt ($5!) – Charlotte Russe, Earrings – Macy’s, Cuff – BaubleBar, Heels (vegan) – Lulus

I wanted to capture a look that was both dynamic and mysterious.

Scorpios aren’t afraid to show a little skin, and that’s exactly what this bold dark red silk camisole does, while still maintaining a classic shape. A simple black bodycon skirt balance out the bold top, while these heels retain the bombshell look Scorpios love.

Add to the edgy look Scorpions are fond of with a structured black motorcycle jacket and accessorize with a unique cuff bracelet and dramatic drop earrings.

  1. I am a Cancer the crabby kind, and I would definately agree with this post as a whole. I feel that overall Water signs have a similar taste as well (my best friend is a pisces) . I love those sea greens and violets in pisces and the romantic feel of the flowy fabrics. I love the pearl ring in particular for my native sign, it is super classic and I want it or atleast something like it! I adore the little black dress as shown in Scorpio, definately a classic in everyones’ book, but it is just a sexy feminine piece anyone can pull off. If I had to describe water style: Flowy fabrics, ultra-feminine shapes and colors, and a little sexier than the average girl in the crowd. Great job on all the other signs outfits as well I would wear them all! 🙂 one for everyday in my closet please for my ever changing moods 😀

    P.S. You forgot to say that Cancers rule over a certain part of the body as you did for every other sign.We rule the heart and the breasts so a personal suggestion would be wear jewelry shaped as hearts ( i have a pair of silver earings myself) as long as it is classy and not flashy fake bling, you’ll love the sentimental meaning behing your jewelry. Also, I am not the one to be revealing, though my sign says I rule over breasts, but I love to emphasize with an embroidered top or some cute details around the neckline like beading, or a necklace.

    Best wishes,
    Vlada

  3. I guess I was born in the wrong month, I’m a pisces but the scorpio’s description suits me perfectly!!! Maybe because I’m sort of a closeted pisces, hard on the outside and romantic ont he inside. Oh, and because I have a warm colouring and don’t look too good in such cool tones. Besides, my boyfriend and my ex are both scorpios.

    (Ha, what fashion does to a girl…I’m a philosophy major! I don’t believe this sort of bull****!)

    • I’m a Pisces too and the Scorpio outfit describes me perfectly. After some “research” I figured out that you should investigate your rising sign, which describes your style more. My rising sign is actually a Scorpio, so my fashion sense makes sense to me now. I’m trying to incorporate ideas from both my sun sign and my rising sogn, and it is helping me to figure out what I like. I’ve been having some trouble with fashion lately, and this has really helped me.

  5. Cancers RULE! Definitely true for me. I’m wearing a floaty chiffon dress right now!
    Floaty, romantic clothes are the best and so easy to mix and match with everything in your closet. It makes it so easy to switch up my look so I can have tougher looks with softer pieces.
    I’m loving this feature. It’s so cool to be inspired by the other signs too.

  6. This is a really unique post! I’m a Pisces and the description definitely fit me. I love wearing romantic and feminine pieces — that’s what I’m naturally drawn too, I guess!

  7. Okay, so I’m a Scorpio too. I kind of think that suits me. I wear a lot of navy, black, and grey, i guess i do where dark red a lot, so it does suit me. I loved both those outfits! I would totally wear them any day!

  8. Just wanted to say that scorpio look was right on target for me. The concepts were EXACTLY how I would define my style…however, I wasn’t a huge fan of the red blouse. Maybe that’s just me (:

  9. Interesting! I’m a Scorpio and you’re completely right about the wardrobe full of dark colors. I love pops of color but wear them rarely – my friends often complain/tease me about this.

    I love Selena Gomez’s style so it was interesting to see she’s a water sign too. Love the Cancer style – your outfits seem to match up with something she would wear. I love the style but I’ve never been able to pull it off.
