Zodiac-Inspired Looks: Cancer Dressing Style

Cancer season is upon us!

Born between June 21 and July 20, Cancer belongs to the Water element of the zodiac (just like Scorpio and Pisces ). Cancer is a water sign ruled by a feminine moon; they favour soft shapes, classic silhouettes and thrifted gems rather than ones that draw attention.

Inherently feminine, intuitive, creative, and sensual, the Cancer sign is the classiest and most emotional of all the zodiac signs. People born under this sign are natural-born caregivers, affectionate, and enjoy a playful sense of humour. Given their crab symbol, which illustrates a hard shell but a soft core, it’s no surprise that this sign loves clothing that makes them feel guarded and mysterious.

Cancerians have a retro and refined style. This sign possesses an innate sense of fashion and always is in vogue. When it comes to trends, they like only those that will surely stand the test of time. The enigmatic character can have two sides: super-girly and boyish. Don’t be shocked if you find Cancerians spending handsomely on athleisure. They are also huge on high-end workout wear. It is just as typical to see them dressed the night sexily before and in a more masculine outfit the following morning. 

Read on for a  lowdown on Cancer clothing style aesthetic, from which you can take notes, even if you’re not a Cancerian but would love to dress like one. 


Silhouettes

A Cancerian’s wardrobe is far from being filled with unfashionable, dated, or shabby pieces. Most Cancers are risk-averse. Their sentimental side strongly reflects their affinity towards retro and refined aesthetics but with a hint of modern flair! However, having well-tailored staples is crucial for Cancerians.

They speak less, and they feel more! They see fashion as a way of voicing themselves, especially with high slits and unique cut-outs to make a mark. As water goddesses, they are most comfortable in fluid, flowy silhouettes and dramatic drapes that evoke a sense of water.

Colours 

The moon rules these signs, so they are known to be shy and incorporating colours helps them break out of their shells with confidence. Even though the entire colour wheel enchants them, these heartfelt homebodies are drawn to the colours of the evening sky. It is, therefore, natural for them to gravitate towards pastel shades and flushed colours like pinks and oranges.

Patterns

Cancer is highly creative and enthusiastic in nature! In contrast to their introverted personality, Cancer is all about bling, shine, and ornamented textures. In order to keep things fresh, they pick pieces that can be mixed and matched and avoid prints other than stripes.

Regardless of the season, Cancers will layer up! Their racks burst with checks, plaids and quirky embellished and ornamented outfits inspired by the runway that can be used in a variety of ways. 

Accessories

Notoriously nostalgic, Cancers appreciate pieces they can treasure forever- particularly pearls and silver. As for their style, they don’t like to over-accessorize. The ocean is also the ruling element of Cancer, which is why pearls may be comforting to them. 

Despite their preference for comfy clothing, comfort-seeking signs prefer dramatic heels and handbags as they add pizzazz to their outfit with minimal effort. With fewer-to-zero accessories, statement bags and exceptional stilettos can work effectively for this sign. 

Cancer’s fashion quotient highly depends upon their mood. Delicate accessories, flirty silhouettes, and luxurious materials are prominent in a Cancerian wardrobe. Cancer clothing style pays homage to its characteristics, with relaxed styles and feminine touches, making it a charming style among other zodiac signs.
