Let us guess – another minor inconvenience happened, and now you just HAVE to switch up your style (again), right? Well, we have a suggestion for you: how about turning to astrology this time? The “big three” – your sun, moon, and rising – ought to be well established by this point, but if not, feel free to use a free calculator like this one from Cafe Astrology. All you’re going to need is your birth date, location and time. And when it comes to discovering your personal style, your rising sign is where the answer’s at.
In Western astrology, the ascendant, often known as the rising sign, determines our “vibe” and how we present ourselves to others. In other words, it is the “face” of your personality. Since your rising sign is not your core self, but the lens through which you view your core self, it has a significant impact on your personal style.
That being said, you’re gonna want to make use of the fact that it effectively represents the personality you project to others – your rising sing is the first impressions for social situations, so making it count is EVERYTHING.
Rising Sign Fashion & Style:
1. ARIES
The Aries Rising new fashion approach is all about taking risks and leading with your appearance. It’s possible that the first thing people notice about you is your head and face. You guys are here to cultivate confidence, focus energy on positive obstacles, and live proactively. Feeling strong and at ease in every situation is crucial for Aries because you need to approach the world with inner confidence.
Your physical body needs to feel and appear strong for your actual self to shine – whether it’s sleek, sporty and seductive, or powerful and appropriate for the office. You’re usually setting rather than following trends – red, monochromatic, and khaki should be your go-to hues.
Kourtney Kardashian is an excellent inspiration for anyone with an Aries rising sign since she personifies everything Aries!
2. TAURUS
Taurus Rising style is easily recognisable since it just screams “RICH”! The focus of the Taurus Rising aesthetic is on comfort and elegance. You tend to be “conservative”, are concerned about the quality of your apparel, and favour classic brands over passing fads. You give the world a grounded, realistic face that is both expensive-looking and gorgeous, both of which enable you to perform at your peak.
Those with Taurus placements would look great in Dr. Martens, and earthy greens and browns, which are all classic colours. Try using vintage accessories, such as gold jewellery and little shoulder bags, to add dimension to your clothes and keep them from becoming too monotonous.
3. GEMINI
Gemini risings are fun and playful people who enjoy experimenting with their appearance. They can also have a touch of childlike enthusiasm, so think of crazy patterns or neon hues. A style that is upbeat and expressive, while allowing you to move and multitask, helps you be who you were meant to be. Gemini needs to get out into the world and stir things up a little.
Your personality will stand out with the help of some whimsy accessories. A Gemini rising should mix patterns, and fun accessories like necklaces with phrases, party glasses, and anything else quirky.
4. CANCER
The rounded features and delicate appeal of a Cancer rising are ideal for the “cottagecore” style. Opt for timeless looks that enhance rather than detract from you. You are not trashy; you are elegant.
The ethereal aesthetic that complements the Cancer Ascendant style is created by the combination of shimmering materials, iridescent finishes, and pastel hues.
5. LEO
Leo risings enjoy being seen, but they prefer to do so in style. Grand and fantastic Leo has a penchant for overspending on appearances, thus high-end fashion houses like Gucci and Versace are the ideal choice for your lavish inspiration. They embody “dress-to-impress” for any situation and don’t mind displaying their achievement by donning a brand name.
Use orange and red tones to show off your bold side; anything flashy, sequined, or just anything that would look good on an Instagram model is a must. Black, gold, and leopard print are the hottest colours in the Leo Rising aesthetic. The dramatic Leo Rising aesthetic is further enhanced by sheer fabrics, short hemlines, plunging necklines, and side slits.
6. VIRGO
Because there was definitely a lot of clothing planning involved, Virgo Rising style appears “put-together”! Most of them appreciate a straightforward look that isn’t complicated by vivid colours or an abundance of accessories.
Consider wearing loose-fitting shirts and trousers with basic jewellery, such as a watch or gold hoops, to create a “clean” style that appeals to Virgos. Add some personality to your wardrobe with a few flashier accessories, like a leather belt or a pair of chunky shoes, to keep it from becoming boring. This enables you to appear simple without being invisible.
7. LIBRA
Rising Libras are known for their natural beauty and opulent aesthetic, and they enjoy spending time and money on curating their clothes. Like no other sign of the zodiac, Libra Rising values aesthetics and places a high value on fashion.
This implies that they devote the most of their time, as well as money, into designing exquisite ensembles that will win them the admiration they yearn for. While soft colours like baby blue, blush pink, and lilac are typical of Libra Rising, this sign likes to boast, so embrace your inner Libra provocatively and flaunt those assets!
8. SCORPIO
Scorpio Rising fashion is seductive. No other adjective can adequately convey the smouldering Scorpio Ascendant vibe. A subtle yet powerful charm to your presentation commands respect while drawing attention.
While the monotone black look never goes out of style, consider replacing it with shades of wine red, plum, and maroon. A leather jacket, black heels, and combat boots are essential wardrobe items. And if you’re feeling a bit riskayy, a bomb a** combo to consider is a lace corset with jeans.
Ooh! Consider dark nail polish and edgy accessories like chokers and metal rings to give your outfit a guaranteed flair!
9. SAGITTARIUS
A passionate, upbeat, and spiritually inspired outlook leads to a highly active and upbeat relationship with the outside world – which helps to lighten the personality. Your Sag fashion appearance also reflects your jovial and flirty disposition.
Use prints like stripes, polka dots, and checks for a Sagittarius placement since they are as imaginative as they are. Try out strong, clashing colours, with orange, purple, and red present in some combination. Sagittarius Rising definitely dresses provocatively, favouring large athletic clothes during the day and flamboyant show looks at night.
10. CAPRICORN
Even though they don’t seem to care much about their appearance, Capricorn Rising has remarkable elegance. They like to look mature and avoid wearing excessively flashy attire. They can be modest or have a more conservative style, and tend to stick to the classics. As Capricorns are the elder souls of the zodiac, their style is reminiscent of older ages.
Because they rarely go out of style, they love traditional hues like blue, black, white, and grey as well as neutral tones. For the well-organized and refined Capricorn, a few hues of blouses, slacks, skirts, and button-down shirts are a must-have.
Yet, as comfort is the most important quality for an Earth element, make sure to stock your closet with coordinating jogger-hoodie combos and sturdy, dependable pairs of sneakers or slip-ons for your chill days.
11. AQUARIUS
As the notoriously rebellious sign of the zodiac, Aquarius risings are renowned for their unorthodox taste and propensity to always make a statement with their appearance (think 70s rock icon David Bowie). They add a distinctive touch to their professional presence as an Aquarius. They are their own particular trendsetter, not one to follow current fads or uphold established norms.
Aquarian placements don’t care about luxury labels or traditional clothes; they look their best when they can be themselves. They enjoy wearing radical streetwear, tie-dye prints, patterned pants, and statement shoes. The rebellious vibes these locals have can be easily accentuated by dyed hair and body piercings.
Nevertheless, if you want a more understated appearance, consider adding 70s and 80s flair to your ensembles (such as wide leg jeans, chunky platforms, or beaded necklaces) and search boutiques and thrift shops for vintage clothing.
12. PISCES
Ascendants of the Pisces sign are recognised for their ethereal, dreamy nature and have gentler looks (famous Pisces rising Billie Eilish is a perfect embodiment of this). With your zodiac fashion sense, you have the power to channel mystery, enchantment, and a lot of glitz!
A Pisces’ delicate features would be complemented by a soft pastel colour scheme, such as lavender, sage, and baby blue. These ensembles can be completed with delicate bracelets, lockets, and vintage accessories. The Pisces Rising aesthetic is also excellent for sea-inspired hues like deep blue, turquoise, green, and violet.
