Your Astrological Sign Says A Lot About How You Should Approach Fashion and Beauty
-
Aries
The Aries sign is known to be dynamic, proud, bold and daring. They possess great power and exude a combination of determination, initiative and leadership. Through their warrior-type personality, clothing pieces that best complement their on-the-go lifestyle would be those that are contemporary chic. I suggest topping the ensemble off with a leather jacket to include an item that is very much aligned with their rebellious personality. Aries’ bold eyebrows are very reputable, similar to those of Aries Keira Knightley and Emma Watson. Since this sign is represented by the ram, investing in an eyebrow specialist is key to maintaining a great beauty regimen.

Taurus
The sweet and charming Taurus sign is typically earthy and sensual. They have an appreciation for beauty and nature. Through their peace-loving personality, Taurus individuals are often described as patient, steady and romantic. Styles that represent a classic look are best suited for the bull personality, including high quality and soft fabrics, such as velvet and/or silk to accommodate their easygoing lifestyle. The neckline is one of the most notable features on a Taurus, so taking the time to select a haircut that really frames the face and neck will best accentuate this sign’s assets. Penélope Cruz is the perfect Taurus example.

Gemini
Geminis are childlike, whimsical and changeable in the most creative ways. They possess great communication skills and their personality is often expressed concretely through their sense of style. The twins’ sense of style leans towards the eclectic, particularly through the use of patterns and neon bright accent pieces — think of fellow Gemini Iggy Azalea. The perfect haircuts to suit their personality are those that are sleek and trendy, such as pixies and/or edgy bobs, making sure they show off this sign’s infectious personality.

Cancer
Cancers are best described as kindhearted and nurturing and they possess the ability to connect to society on so many levels through the senses. They are often the wise sage of the zodiac and through their sense of style, they resort to both comfort apparel and power statement pieces, such as a frilly blouse paired with skinny jeans and sky-high heels. Their sign is ruled by the moon so their changeable moods are just as changeable as their style choices. Think of Selena Gomez and her many different looks. Haircuts with length that falls below the collarbone are ideal, reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour.

Leo
The Leo sign is often described as original, risk-taking and bold in personality. Leos exude the most expansive presence of the zodiac through their warm, solar-infused energy. As the showstopper of the zodiac, animal print, plaid patterns and sparkles go best with their regal personality, similar to looks you’ve seen on Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa. Hairstyles that closely resemble an actual lion’s mane or a voluminous tease at the crown area really complement their loud and proud real life strides. The best style tools that Leos can invest in are wand curling irons and hot rollers to help create volume they cannot resist.

Virgo
Virgos are known to be clever, charming and timeless. Often known as the perfectionist of the zodiac, this trait applies to all their ambitions and daily activities while they remain helpful, methodical and there for other people’s needs, too. Elegant and sophisticated looks are best suited to their clean-cut personality, similar to what might come to mind when you think of Cameron Diaz. Simple and classy hairstyles are always a good choice. Try using a flatiron to create a sleek ponytail, a style that works well for this sign’s perfectionistic demands and lifestyle.

Libra
Balance, grace and beauty is the simple definition of Libras’ outlook and needs in life. Libras radiate a fair viewpoint in situations and offer impartial advice to those in disagreements. They also strive to offer aid to those who seek out their guidance. In appearance, they are often curvy and their overall fashion would be categorized as ultra feminine and sensual, just like Kim Kardashian. Hairstyles that go best with your Venus-touched personality and presence are styles that are soft, wavy and perfectly symmetrical like this sign’s scales. Try using large Velcro rollers while blow-drying your hair — this will help achieve a beautiful Venusian touch.

Scorpio
Mysterious and passionate, Scorpios are the most intriguing of all the signs in the zodiac. Their presence alone inspires all to appreciate the stillness and serenity that life has to offer. Choices in styles for this sign usually range in mystique and femme fatale looks with a twist of lace and leather. Their mysterious aura usually reflects in their choice of clothing as well as in their hairstyles. Think of fellow Scorpio Kendall Jenner. Scorpios can pull off fringe haircuts and hairstyles with a prominent one-sided part. These looks will show off and help their captivating persona radiate even more.

Sagittarius
The archer is known to be a free spirit, optimistic and adventurous with a never-ending appetite for exploring what’s new. Trying and pulling off new styles on a whim is their forte and they possess the desire to spread this enthusiastic way of life to others. Through their alternative flair, they love to express themselves when on the go with styles that range from comfort wear to vintage chic looks. All types of haircuts and hairstyles with edge will showcase the archer’s whimsical way of life and adding a splash of sparkles, feathers or animal prints will best reflect their jovial personality. This is reflected in Nicki Minaj’s style and personality and it is no wonder she’s a Sagittarius.

Capricorn
The sea goat’s mantra of success is to work hard, remain ambitious and never stop. Through patience and goodwill, Capricorns can take on many responsibilities with such strong focus. In reflection of their never-ending strides toward success, their choices in fashion are simple and clean and/or contemporary — think Nina Dobrev. Through their strength and charisma, Capricorns can try medium- to shoulder-length haircuts with long layers. This will ensure a no-nonsense approach to their daily beauty regimen in case there are days when there is a need to sport a chic top knot hairstyle since they’re too busy attacking their goals.

Aquarius
The humanitarian and philanthropist of the zodiac, Aquarius does not shy away from lending a helping hand for all walks of life. They are unconventional, independent and have the need to express their ingenuity. To best describe Aquarius individuals’ fashion sense is simply put as unconventional and original, very urban chic. As the future-oriented sign of the zodiac, Aquarians have a gift of seeing future trends way before others and they’re likely to try many hairstyles until they discover their perfect match. Ideally, haircuts that are medium length would be most versatile for their need to constantly experiment. Fringe haircuts are also quite complementary to their changeable lifestyle. Think of Aquarian muse Emma Roberts for more inspiration.

Pisces
Pisces are known to be ethereal, imaginative and peaceful in nature. This sign is said to contain facets of previous zodiac signs, hence they are regarded as old souls. As lovers of the creative realm, this is just what they aspire to achieve and project in expressing their personal taste. In reflection of the shores of the sea, a bohemian chic style and/or flowy chemise blouses would go well with Pisces’ gypsy-like nature. Hairstyles that are reminiscent of the waves of the ocean would be complementary to their dreamy features, like those of Lily Collins. Invest in a curling iron tool that has three barrels to help achieve a beachy hairstyle and as an added accent to their mermaid-like tresses (if long enough), sport a fishtail braid.
