How to Dress for a Leo Man

We all have a closet full of different clothes. Some are for relaxing in, some for every day, and a few special occasion outfits. What’s left could be called smart-casual.

These are the sort of items considered smart enough for work or a lunch date with friends; nothing too out there, too extreme or extraordinary. Maybe it’s time to start hitting the stores?

If you are dressing for a Leo man, there is no way you’ll get away with wearing any old thing. Well, not if you want to be the most appealing dream woman he ever came across.

Attractively

One of the easiest ways to please a Leo man is by looking good and generally well put together. You don’t have to go for designer labels all the time; just look like you made an effort.

If you’re not sure how to handle a Leo man, keep in mind that for him, image is significant. He likes to look great, and he expects the same from others. Not just outfit-wise, either.

Dressing attractively means choosing accessories with care, so your shoes, hats, and purses add to the overall look.

It’s the same with jewelry. Make sure what you go for looks just right for the outfit, the time of day, and the event.

Leo men love to show off their partners, so he’d be embarrassed if that wasn’t possible. Remember, you don’t always have to be in heels or formal clothes. If wearing jeans makes sense, that’s fine, so long as they are neat and clean!

Appropriately

Wondering what to wear on a first date with a Leo man? That can be tricky because being a fire sign makes Leo an unpredictable beast.

He’s just as likely to arrange an adventure like horseback riding, as a romantic dinner date on a river cruise.

Considering that dressing appropriately is so important to Leo men, you should find out his plans if they are not clear. Even if your Leo guy is determined to surprise you, all is not lost.

He’ll be kind enough to throw a couple of valuable clues your way if you ask him nicely. Make sure to follow the advice you can decipher from them, or disaster could be hot on your heels.

Leo men do like women who are as open to fun experiences as he is. By dressing correctly, you’ll really enjoy your date.

For a daytime meeting, think smart but comfortable outfits. This isn’t the time to wear new shoes or too-tight pants.

It’s pretty difficult to relax and get involved with things if you feel uncomfortable, so why waste an opportunity? Plus, you want to have a good time and concentrate on some Leo bonding.

Classy

Fire signs aren’t the most easygoing people around, and a list of any Leo man’s likes and dislikes is longer than most.

Still, it’s forgivable because being demanding is the flipside of Leo’s high achieving, larger-than-life persona.

Most Leo men like a woman to dress with class. She may be going casual in jeans, wearing shorts on a beach, or showing off in a high fashion dress at a 5-star restaurant.

Whatever the what and where dressing classily will always win a Leo’s heart.

Classy dressing is about making good choices. You don’t need to spend on designer items, although a little Chanel is never a bad thing to have.

It’s about choosing the appropriate look, picking out the perfect piece of jewelry, and carrying yourself well.

Although being outrageous and a bit silly are both labels Leo men attract (and fairly so), they care deeply about their image.

Getting things right is essential, so dressing in a classy way also means respecting and following formal dress codes.

Sexily

A Leo man’s desires in a relationship are not much of a secret. He likes sexy and glamorous women. A hot partner with fizzing sexual chemistry is what turns on a Leo man. It might sound shallow, but it is deeper than that.

Leo considers physical attraction essential if anything more is to develop, and dressing sexily is an excellent way to reassure him of that. He also finds intelligence and humor sexy, but appearance still means a lot.

If you can’t imagine yourself squeezing into a bodycon dress, that’s fine.

There are dozens of ways to interpret dressing sexily, so stick with what works for you both. Plus, there’s always plenty of sexy lingerie to choose from if you prefer a more discreet approach.

Above anything, Leos are visual creatures, so they can’t help but make decisions based on what they see. They are also showoffs, so he is always happy when other people are jealous of his gorgeous date.

Here’s an extra tip – as much as your Leo guy likes taking you out and being one half of a gorgeous couple, he appreciates your alone time too. Don’t be shy about playing dress-up in the bedroom if that works for you both.

Brightly

One of the fabulous things about dressing for a Leo guy is the color freedom. You get to throw everything dull into the back of the closet and go for outfits that stand out.

Forget the beige, move past the grays, and don’t automatically reach for an all-black look to be safe. Big cats may not see many colors, but these lions certainly can, and they love them.

Pinks, shades of orange, gold, red, turquoise, and all candy colors are attractive to a Leo: fitting because being noticed is what drives him. That doesn’t mean he wants to date a clown, though, so keep it looking good.

If your closet and personal taste don’t stretch to a rainbow palette of outfits, add color pops in subtle ways. Use accessories like scarves, hats, shoes, purses, and belts to brighten a plainer, or darker color.

Don’t forget that glittery and shiny things are also much loved by attention-seeking Leos. So there’s another possible angle to explore.

From sleek faux-leather hotpants to a more subdued sparkly belt, you can work this look to your advantage.

Provocatively

It’s fair to say that a Leo man’s dream girl would be confident enough to attend a red carpet event in a fashionable “naked dress.”

An elegant, designer-inspired look, naked dresses cleverly protect modesty while also being exceptionally provocative.

What more could a showoff Leo man ask for? We can pin this need to outshine everyone on Leo’s ruling planet.

After all, it’s the sun that loves to bring light to the world, that compels you to lift your face and bask in its warmth while not daring to stare for too long.

So long as he knows you dress to make yourself and him happy, he’ll appreciate anything provocative.

Clothes that show off your legs, shoulders, or cleavage are favorites, or you could wear a backless number. Outrageous designs, patterns, or colors work too.

Ultimately the semi-shallow Leo wants a partner who is as confident, outgoing, and attention-loving as he is. Be creative, colorful, and edgy, and you can’t go far wrong.

Immaculately

If you aren’t the type to pay attention to detail, take a moment because you may struggle to dress well for a fussy Leo guy. You would never see him in a shirt missing a button, or in anything not nicely pressed.

Dressing to meet a Leo man’s expectations may well mean opening an account with your local dry cleaner.

Seriously though, wrinkles, stains, and creases are a definite no-no. Looking immaculate is about making the absolute most of your outfit, whether it’s casual or smart.

It’s about clean and polished shoes, properly hemmed shirts, dresses and pants, and everything looking perfect.

It’s unlikely Leo men have closets with misshapen old t-shirts for yard work or duvet days. Even if they do, you would never see them in one, guaranteed.

Confidently

When you dress for a Leo man, be sure to do it with confidence. The absolute best woman for a Leo man is one who is comfortable in her skin and in the clothes she chooses to cover it with.

Dressing confidently is about making the best choices for you and carrying them off well. That means picking colors that suit you and shapes that you find flattering.

You don’t need to wear hot fashion trends just to look cool, either.

If classic looks make you look and feel sexy, that’s the way to go. Or you can mix things up. Watch your Leo date’s eyes light up at the glimpse of red lingerie underneath a classic blouse.

If you feel super confident, why not arrange a classy photoshoot session, so he always has an arty reminder of you. Or book him one too.
