How to Dress for a Cancer Man

If you want to know how to attract a Cancer man and keep him, what you wear early in the relationship is important. It’s not the only factor, though.

Cancer men aren’t superficial. They don’t fall in love based on how you dress or how you look. Yet they are sensitive. Your appearance early on should be disarming and convey softness.

Knowing what to wear to attract a Cancer man can be key to getting him to pay attention to you. Your style gets his attention, but your personality does the rest.

Wear Flowing, Soft Textures

What body type does a Cancer man like? He loves any body type as long as the body contains a warm and loving heart. It’s cliché but true, a Cancer man loves you for who you are. Yet what you wear can get him to notice you.

He doesn’t discriminate based on body type. A Cancer man appreciates an athletic build just as much as he falls for curves. When it comes to your style, regardless of your body type, opt for soft textures and flowing fabrics.

You may think tight and revealing outfits with form fitting cuts are the way to go to get a man’s attention. Yet with a Cancer man that doesn’t always work. Sometimes it can backfire. He doesn’t want to imagine you being suffocated by your outfit.

He wants to know that your outfit leaves plenty of breathing room and doesn’t inhibit your ability to move. That is because he wants you to join him in his favorite activities. Eating and cuddling and generally being casual.

He knows super high heels and tight-fitting outfits may seem flattering but aren’t conducive to walking along the beach, enjoying a hearty meal or snuggling on the couch. He would rather do these things with you than see you squeeze into a cute but impractical outfit.

Choose Blue, Silver and White

Each sign has its own preferred color palette. For a Cancer man, the colors of water and the Moon appeal to him. Blues and silvers or white usually attract a Cancer man’s attention. If you ask him his favorite color, it’s likely to be one of these.

If you want to know how to get a Cancer man to chase you, catch his eye with one of his favorite colors. The colors associated with water and the Moon naturally attract a Cancer man’s attention. He will subconsciously be drawn to you and want to spend more time with you.

If these colors don’t naturally flatter you or you don’t like them, opt for a small accent featuring one of these colors. A scarf, piece of jewelry or headband, for instance. Yet if you want to catch his eye, look for clothes that shimmer like the Moon’s reflection on the ocean.

He’ll not only not be able to stop looking at you, he’ll also think of himself strolling along the beach with you because you remind him of this setting. It’s one of his favorite places so dressing in colors or patterns that remind him of the sea will impress him.

If you want to know how to attract a Cancer man, wearing jewelry made of or resembling seashells or sea glass is another option. This way you’re appealing to his love of the ocean. You can also wear patterns or jewelry depicting the Moon, his ruling planet.

Accentuate Natural Curves

When you understand what a Cancer man likes and dislikes in a woman, you’ll know not to stress over your body. He would rather see that you are comfortable with who you are than see you beat yourself up to try to look like someone else.

A Cancer man would rather envision the two of you cuddling at home by a warm fire than envision you burning calories at the gym and obsessing about your body constantly. In other words, if you’ve got curves, love them and flaunt them.

A Cancer man actually likes a woman who is confident in her body and in who she is. This means he’ll love you curves and all. He doesn’t want you to hide your natural curvy beauty. He wants you to play up these aspects of yourself.

Wear styles that flatter a curvy figure if you have one and he’ll notice you. If you don’t have a lot of curves, that’s ok too. Look for soft fabrics. A Cancer man is drawn to a woman who conveys an image of softness and comfort.

Show a Little Cleavage

Cancer men, because of their sign’s association with motherhood and maternal energy, are attracted to breasts. This is not a matter of objectifying women. For a Cancer man, reminders of maternal or feminine energy make them feel secure.

When it comes to dressing to attract a Cancer man, showing a little cleavage can go a long way. He doesn’t expect you to be too revealing, especially early on. Yet if you want to know how to keep a Cancer man hooked on you, revealing reminders of your maternal nature is the key.

This includes dressing to play up any features that remind him of motherhood. Even accentuating your belly, the other body part associated with his sign, will captivate a Cancer man. Subconsciously, he’ll see you as the ideal mother for his future children.

He may also subconsciously feel more comfortable with you because he sees you as a maternal figure who can nurture him. Show some cleavage but remember, especially in the beginning, less is more. If you are too revealing it can turn him off.

Dress for Romance

A Cancer man’s behavior, when in love, is a combination of old-fashioned romance and moodiness. The moodiness is natural for a Cancer man. Yet he’s also a classic romantic who wants to feel like he’s the protagonist in a love story.

When you dress in romantic ways, you’ll definitely get his attention. He would rather see you wear soft, flowing, and romantic dresses than formal clothes that are too constricting. Avoid loud patterns or bright, dramatic colors as well.

When you dress to impress a Cancer man, think candlelight dinner, romantic music and affectionate stroll along the beach. If you dress too formal, as if you were preparing to attend a gala, you’ll turn him off.

You may enjoy dressing for a club scene in your favorite super-short skirt and tight-fitting clothing, but a Cancer man may not be as impressed. This doesn’t mean he won’t like you. It just means he will feel more at ease if you dress in romantic styles.

Choose Feminine Styles

If you want to know how to court a Cancer man, the key is to embody femininity and radiate soft, nurturing energy. Even if you think a particular outfit is too modest, a Cancer man may like it if he can envision you cuddling with him while watching a movie.

Outfits that are feminine with soft colors and flowing fabrics make him feel like you are more comfortable. This in turn makes him feel more comfortable. Playing up your strengths and features as a woman also appeals to a Cancer man.

He loves to be surrounded by feminine energy. If you dress in harsh colors or even neutral colors, with dramatic lines and stiff fabrics, he will be turned off. Dress in ways that radiate warmth, nurturing and the potential for romance and affection.

Dress for Comfort

The biggest rule of thumb with a Cancer man is if it’s not comfortable, don’t do it. This includes how you dress. He notices your feelings and energy as much as your appearance. When you aren’t comfortable, he’ll feel edgy.

If you want to know how to text a Cancer man, be sure to send him selfies in your comfort zone. Even if you’re hair is slightly windblown, and you’re dressed in your favorite jeans. This can go farther than dressing up for him in clothes that appear uncomfortable.

Make sure you appeal to his desire to be himself around you. When you look like you’re comfortable and can breathe and move easily, he will be able to relax around you. Your signals of calm comfort will set the tone for an impressionable Cancer man.

If you dressed to impress but aren’t comfortable yourself, it can even ruin the night. A Cancer man is very intuitive. Even if you don’t complain about how uncomfortable your outfit is, a Cancer man will pick up on your signals. He’ll notice you aren’t smiling as much.

He’ll also notice you seem restricted or unhappy. If he doesn’t realize it’s because you’re not comfortable with what you’re wearing, a Cancer man is likely to attribute your subtle signs of discomfort to you not wanting to be around him. He personalizes everything.

This can lead to a misunderstanding that leads to moods and drama that can otherwise be avoided. If you’re comfortable in your clothes on the other hand, he’ll read into your relaxed signals and think you’re comfortable with him as well.
