The Bathing Suit Each Zodiac Sign Should Wear
Aries: Sporty One-Piece
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries brings a lot of energy to the table. They’re often up before the sun, and as soon as they’ve made their daily to-do list, it’s go-go-go. That’s why a sporty one-piece swimsuit is recommended for this adventurous sign. Even if something active isn’t part of the plan, Aries will be ready for an impromptu surf lesson or a game of beach volleyball in this practical bathing suit.
Taurus: Retro
Taurus people place a lot of emphasis on comfort and quality when it comes to clothing, so a bathing suit style that has lasted the test of time is perfect for them. Retro bathing suits are timeless and flattering, featuring high-waist bottoms, halter tops, and polka dots. They’ll never go out of fashion, but since they’re not this year’s “trendy” swimsuit, Taurus will stand out from the crowd.
Gemini: Monokini
“Geminis are versatile and love to experiment with their style,” says Rodriguez. And while this is certainly true, they’re also considered the most indecisive member of the zodiac, thanks to the fact that they’re the sign of the dualistic twins. So, a Gemini can avoid having to choose between a one-piece or a two-piece with a monokini that’s a little bit of both.
Cancer: Swim Dress
“Cancers embrace their nurturing and feminine qualities,” says Rodriguez, which is why she recommends a sweet swim dress for this sentimental-yet-emotional sign. Cancer is also the homebody of the zodiac, and it can take a lot to coax them out of their shell—another reason Rodriguez feels this somewhat demure bathing suit style is perfect for them. For added elegance and flirty fun, she suggests finding a suit in “soft pastel shades and delicate floral patterns.”
Leo: String Bikini
Leos don’t hold back in any aspect of life, and when it comes time to don a bathing suit, they’re more than ready to show off some skin. “Leo will love the attention and compliments they get from wearing a string bikini,” says Nguen. But it’s not just about looking sexy; Leo is a proud and confident sign, and they don’t see the point of having to hide their body.
Virgo: Tankini
Nguen thinks a tankini “is a smart and versatile choice” for the perfectionist of the zodiac. “Virgo is a practical and meticulous sign,” she explains. “They like to have everything in order and under control.” A tank-top style two-piece offers more coverage and flexibility than other styles.
Libra: One-Shoulder
Lovely Libra, ruled by Venus, the planet of romance, is drawn to anything beautiful and classy. “The simplicity and sophistication of a one-shoulder style” align with Libra’s balancing act between beauty and function.
Scorpio: Long-Sleeves
Mysterious Scorpio can be hard to figure out—and that’s exactly how they prefer it. “They like to keep some secrets and intrigue others,” points out Nguen. A long-sleeve bathing suit is a surprising and edgy choice that covers more than it reveals, leaving more to the imagination.
Sagittarius: Board Shorts
Come summer, don’t be surprised if Sagittarius is hopping on a plane to a tropical beach or embarking on a month-long hike. Board shorts are a casual and comfortable choice that allows them to move freely and enjoy any activity.
Capricorn: High-Waist Bikini
If you can pull Capricorn away from the office long enough to enjoy a sunny summer day, you can expect to find them in a high-waisted bikini. “Capricorn is an ambitious and professional sign,” says Nguen. “They like to work hard and achieve their goals.”
Aquarius: Strappy One-Piece
Aquarians are lovable oddballs. Considered the most eccentric and free-spirited zodiac sign, they don’t care about what’s trendy this season. They’re more concerned with embracing their individuality. A strappy one-piece is practical, but it’s also one of those bathing suit styles that comes in every color and pattern imaginable.
Pisces: Ruffles
Naturally, the sign of the fish feels right at home in the water. Pisces has been counting down the days until the beach opens, so when their toes first hit the sand, they want their outfit to mirror the pure joy they’re experiencing. “Pisces is a dreamy and romantic sign. They like to express their creativity and imagination,” explains Nguen. “Ruffles add a whimsical charm to any bathing suit, making them ideal for Pisces, who want to look cute and playful.”
