How to Dress Like a Leo
We’re shining the spotlight on you, Leo… which is right where you like it! Leos are pretty much made for the spotlight, with lively, outgoing, vivacious natures and star power to boot. (Look at famous Leos like Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa, for example.).
It’s no wonder you find yourselves at the center of attention (and drama, sometimes) when you have such big, magnetic personalities and unshakeable confidence. This also means that your social calendar is generally packed, so a Leo has to have plenty of statement-making party clothes on hand, ready to steal the scene at all times. No matter what you wear, you’re always going to rock it with total confidence.
The lion represents Leos, so it’s no surprise that they are bold and fearless, and this goes for their clothing, as well. They aren’t afraid to wear something loud, extravagant, trendy, or attention-calling—in fact, they prefer it! Whether it’s bright colors, daring silhouettes, or eye-catching prints, Leos like to use their clothing as a way of expressing themselves and turning heads while doing so. They also love luxury, so they will happily indulge in designer labels and wear them proudly.
Known as the fieriest of the fire signs, Leos are ruled by the Sun, which, fun fact, never goes into retrograde. They are drawn to bold, fiery colors like red, orange, gold, and yellow, which help them stand out in the crowd.
As a strong, ambitious sign, Leos don’t like to lose, so their style is going to be on point, along with everything else about them!
Leo Outfits
Want to wear a Leo outfit? These Leo-inspired pieces are based on the zodiac sign’s defining personality traits and are all under $100.
“You Look Like You Love Me” Tank Top
Leos are convinced that pretty much everyone is in love with them, and why shouldn’t they be, when they are such warm, magnetic people? That’s why this “You Look Like You Love Me” graphic print cropped tank top was practically made for Leos, who would rock this proudly.
Unapologetic in your self-love (which is the best kind of love, as Leos know well and good), this tank makes for a fun conversation starter and is perfect for taking selfies in (another one of your favorite hobbies).
Red Faux Leather Mini Dress
Turn up the heat in a red faux leather mini dress that’s sure to make you the life of the party—not that you needed much help with that!
As a fire sign, wearing red is definitely the move. And it doesn’t get hotter than a mini dress made of faux leather with a short and strapless silhouette.
Wear it with some strappy heeled sandals and get ready to sizzle.
Cropped Shirt and Cargo Mini Skirt Set
As the Lioness of the Zodiac, why not go for a “safari chic” look? This beige linen-look cropped shirt and matching cargo mini skirt set has a safari-inspired aesthetic, but with a sexy twist, thanks to the cropped proportions.
And since your social life tends to be bustling as a Leo, you need plenty of show-stopping looks like this one for when you’re hitting the scene.
Faux Leather Micro Shorts
There isn’t much a Leo is afraid of, so it’s no surprise you take on fashion trends like the fearless fashionista you are. That’s why you’re first in line to rock the micro shorts trend, especially during your season of the summer.
These burgundy faux leather micro shorts are equal parts edgy and sexy, and practically guaranteed to turn heads on a night out.
Style them with a corset top and knee-high boots for a killer concert or music festival outfit, and don’t forget the fun accessories like some sporty sunglasses.
Orange Cut-Out Midi Dress
Spice things up this summer with an orange cut-out midi dress with metal O-ring accents. With the vibrant orange hue, one-shoulder design, thigh-high side slit, and sexy cut-out, you’re sure to be the center of attention in this hot number.
The stretchy, smooth knit fabric makes it perfect for the summertime—you can dress it up with heels, or wear it with flat sandals for a slightly more casual look. Don’t forget some gold-tone jewelry to match its gold metal accents.
Silver Metallic Knit Top
A top fit for a star, this silver metallic knit top is perfect for layering over a cute bralette for a slightly sheer, shiny look that will have all eyes on you. Metallics are trending, and this top is a stylish way to wear the trend, especially on a night out.
Style it for the summer with a denim skirt or flowy white pants, and swap them out for faux leather pants in the fall. Who knew a silver metallic top could be so versatile?!
Leo Graphic Print Cropped T-Shirt
Show off your star sign with this Leo graphic print cropped t-shirt with a Y2K-inspired design.
This baby tee is the perfect way to proudly rep your zodiac sign while being comfy and casual, whether you pair it with denim or a mini skirt.
Leo Accessories & Shoes
Next up, we have the accessories portion of our Leo style guide.
Leos know that accessories are the perfect way to add an extra touch of glam or trend appeal to their outfits, so they aren’t afraid to pile on the bling, rock some sky-high heels, or tote a designer bag.
July Birthstone Necklace
If your birthday is in July, your birthstone is a ruby, which makes total sense: this stone, which is often a fiery red color, goes hand-in-hand with your fire sign. Rubies represent love, passion, vitality, and wealth, which are all things that Leos appreciate and often try to cultivate in their lives.
This gold coin birthstone necklace features a precious ruby gemstone at its center, and by wearing it, you’ll be encouraged to pursue your aspirations and listen to your heart along the way.
August Birthstone Bracelet
Leos with an August birthday have not one but three birthstones to choose from: peridot, spinel, and sardonyx.
Peridot is considered the primary birthstone of the three and is known as the “sun gem,” which is perfect for Leos, who are ruled by the Sun in astrology. Unlike the Sun, this gemstone is actually green in color (sometimes with a yellowish tint) and is believed to bring about balance in one’s emotions, peace, and good fortune.
Wear it in the form of an initial bracelet, giving you the chance to not only represent your birth month, but also yourself with your initial, giving it an even more personal feel. Self-love is a theme here, and there’s no shame in that!
Diamante Shield Sunglasses
Sunglasses fit for a star!
You’ll feel like the celeb that you are in these rimless shield sunglasses with diamante detailing for a luxe, Y2K-inspired look
The semi-sheer lenses can be worn both outdoors and indoors (think concerts and parties), so that you maintain your star status wherever you go.
Gold Strappy Sandals
Go for the gold with some strappy metallic gold sandals featuring a chunky block heel and an ankle strap. Their square-toe design keeps them looking sleek and modern, while their shiny metallic gold color is guaranteed to catch eyes.
Wear these on your nights out on the town to amp up your going-out outfits.
COACH Quilted Silver Bag
Leos love labels and indulging in luxury products, especially when it comes to fashion. They generally aren’t ones to shy away from treating themselves!
But this doesn’t mean you have to break the bank for a designer bag.
This eye-catching quilted silver bag from Coach is under $100, and as versatile as it is stylish, with two straps that give you the option to wear it as a crossbody bag or as a wristlet. Its compact size makes it the perfect complement to all of your going-out outfits, giving them a cool, elevated look.
