Here's Which Prom Dress You Should Wear Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Prom season is upon us! My own prom was some years ago now — yes, I'm old — and I would honestly do anything to redo it. I hated my dress, my hair turned out terribly, and my date was literally the worst (I hope he sees this).

Anyways, the fate of my prom doesn't have to happen to you! If you're still on the hunt for that perfect dress, let your zodiac sign guide you towards finding a prom outfit you'll remember (fondly!) for years to come.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Original, independent, and somewhat shy Aquarius is an air sign, which means they are deep thinkers and extremely loyal to their friends. Although Aquarius can be reserved, they also have a playful, energetic side. A pale blue gown with some unique details would be perfect for an Aquarius.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Artsy, wise, and gentle-spirited Pisces are extremely selfless, love romance, and possess a great emotional capacity. Dresses in soft, whimsical colors like blush, lilac, mauve, and seafoam green and non-constricting, flowing fabrics are best suited for this peaceful and kindhearted sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries are many things, but shy is certainly not one of them. This fire sign is characterized by being brave, passionate, honest, and super confident. When it comes to the best prom dress for an Aries, the bolder, the better. A bright red gown with a sultry shape would definitely appeal to an Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus is an earth sign, meaning they are extremely grounded, reliable, practical, and patient. Taurus likes soft, nature-inspired colors and timeless, elegant silhouettes. A muted, floral prom dress that a Taurus could wear again (like to a wedding!) would be a perfect choice.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini possesses two very different personalities, and we're never sure which side they're going to present. This sociable, curious, and often serious air sign needs a prom dress with many different details (think lace, tiers, or beading) that reflects their many different characteristics.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Imaginative, loyal, and emotional Cancer can be one of the most difficult signs to get to know. They are extremely loyal and sympathetic to those that have earned their trust, but they often appear cold and reserved. A simple, classic, white dress would be perfect for timeless Cancer.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

It's easy to pick a Leo out from the crowd. Brave, kindhearted, and passionate Leo are born leaders and love to be the center of attention. A sparkling dress in gold, burgundy, or amber would be perfect for this vivacious fire sign.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Loyal, hardworking, and practical Virgo are often reserved when it comes to life and, in turn, the way they dress. Although they don't like to take huge risks, Virgo is extremely detail-oriented. A navy dress with lots of subtle, classic details (lace, frills, or buttons) would look amazing on a Virgo.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Gracious, fair, and gentle Libra love nothing more than harmony, peace, and friendship. This calm and balanced air sign loves soft, natural colors and fabrics. A silky pale green gown with a simple silhouette would be the perfect prom dress for a Libra.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Passionate, assertive, and determined Scorpio are one of the fiercest signs. They always appear calm, cool, and collected, which gives them a serious air of mystery. Confident Scorpio makes their own rules, so a bold, red dress with unique details would be perfect for this fiery sign.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Generous, philosophical, and humorous Sagittarius are lovers of nature, freedom, and travel. For these reasons, they absolutely need a flowing dress that doesn't hinder them from dancing the night away. A gown in an earth tone is a plus for this nature-loving sign.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Responsible, controlled, and determined Capricorn don't look to others for approval. They make each and every decision with confidence, and they love to stand out, but they do so in an understated, classy way. A sultry jumpsuit would be the perfect prom outfit for this independent sign.
