Decoded: Leo Dressing Style For 2022

We’d start by saying that it’s officially Leo season – but this spotlight-loving sign is known to make every season its own! If you’ve got a Leo in your life, you’ll catch our drift.

Those born between July 23rd to August 22nd belong to the fire sign ruled by the Sun. It gives them a powerful personality and aura unlike any other.

Leo’s love for taking center-stage (practically all the time) doesn’t go unnoticed, and this is the time to celebrate it. For the attention-loving Leo, grander the better is the mantra. The king-sized life is what appeals to them the most! 

People under this zodiac may not be all-time maximalists, but they love to power dress! Leo dressing style is a potpourri of perfectly-balanced pieces and bold, sharp styles.

Decoding Leo Dressing Style

While trends do not dictate their ensembles — they tend to pull off each one with innate panache! Using style as a way to project & express their authentic selves, we think all the Leos in the house will be drawn to these trends that we’ve shortlisted. Take a look!

Florals – but make them bold.

A free-spirited approach is essential for a Leo to showcase his or her personality to the world, and bold botanicals pave the way for just that!

No longer confined by dainty aesthetics and delicate palettes, florals are now bigger and bolder. Reflecting the perfect Leo mood, which is passionate & fun-loving, supersized flora is the way to channel a mightier than thou attitude with a hint of dreamy flair.

Both in print and in embroidery, we’ve seen these hard-to-ignore motifs sashay down runways, everywhere. Although, if you’re intimidated by an excess of colour, monochrome florals are the answer to Leo dressing style.

When put together masterfully, clean lines and fluidity are clear winners for everything on your calendar. Make the trend more Leo–centric by choosing styles with an overall polished appeal.

Power through in Pantsuits.

The fact that Leos are absolute #BossBabes in every aspect of their lives is not unknown. They’re all about weathering the weather – and having a great time at it. So, it goes without saying that they need an ensemble that matches their unswerving determination. 

Pantsuits are a runway favourite for several reasons, but what we love most is how they instantly command attention. They aren’t try-hards, much like the naturally-leading zodiac sign.

Even with clean lines and sharp detailing, a few playful elements in your pantsuit can make the Leo dressing style more adaptable. Whether it’s a frivolous colour you’re opting for (bubble gum pink, we’re looking at you!) or a more neutral palette is your calling, watch out for outfits devoid of the ‘all too serious’ feel.

All hail the Oversized Blazer!

Think ‘oversized’ and all things ‘casual’ come to mind. Be assured though, that it’s not the case with our beloved blazer owing to a relaxed update over the past few years. Reigning supreme in wardrobes and on runways, the suiting essential is now also synonymous with comfort, thanks to its modern rendition.

Cool, classy, and still uber-chic, oversized blazers do not translate to slouchy. Structure is still a vital attribute of the classic, so the quintessential Leo dressing style will be filled with its endless allure. 

From boardrooms to boozy brunches, you can rock this semi-laidback separate with an array of pieces out of your wardrobe. Power through everything life throws at you in a strikingly sharp blazer!

Spice it up with Shimmer & Shine!

Shining brighter than the rest is one of Leos’ most vital traits! The spotlight follows them wherever they go, including the dancefloor. (Unsolicited word of advice for all the Leos out there? Don’t let anything dim your light!)

Show up in a sea of sequins on the weekend or when downing a few drinks with your squad is on the agenda. There’s no such thing as too much shimmer, so don’t shy away from being extra. After all, it’s what sets you apart from the rest!

Slits and cutouts paired with the disco-inspired discs bring in a hint of sensuality, and that is never a bad thing! Get out there and stun everyone with your experimental approach to Leo dressing style.

Say it with us – Edgy Ruffles!

Leave it to the design masterminds of the world to take a playful trend and turn it into something brazen.

A case in point is the evolution of retro ruffles into edgy details that adorn bare-it-all silhouettes. They’re a great addition to any Leo’s wardrobe when they’re in the mood to have a bit of fun without compromising on their bold sense of style. 

Use this trend to your benefit by nailing the pieces you pick. A ruffled skirt can amp up any look and bring in subtle definition. On the other hand, a frilly top can bring in flattering volume if chosen carefully for Leo dressing .
