5 Biggest Style Mistakes for Aries Rising
Aries risings were born to take the lead. Ruled by Mars, the planet of war, fire, and momentum.
You naturally give off confidence, but your style needs to back that energy up.
If you’re not feeling powerful in your clothes, it’s likely you’re making one of these common Aries rising fashion mistakes.
This guide is here to help you reconnect with your edge, elevate your wardrobe, and embody the powerful presence you’re meant to have.
1. Thinking Boldness = Just Red
Yes, red is a classic Aries color. But boldness isn’t just about hue. Aries risings should be thinking in silhouettes: sharp shoulder pads, dramatic high-waisted pants, exaggerated collars, heels that lengthen the legs and posture. It’s about commanding space.
Boldness can also mean contrast. An oversized blazer with a sleek tank. A sky-high ponytail with wide-leg trousers.
Don’t limit yourself to one color when your energy is the real statement. The right silhouette says “I’ve arrived” before you even speak.
2. Not Addressing the Head (Your Ruled Body Part)
Aries rules the head, meaning your face, hair, and head accessories should never be afterthoughts. Your aesthetic starts at the crown.
That doesn’t mean heavy makeup, but it does mean attention to detail: defined brows, glowing skin, intentional hairstyles. Plump lips, sharp cheekbones, or even an edgy septum ring or bold eyeliner can elevate your Aries signature.
If you want to express rebellion, add piercings or experimental hair colors. Want to signal elegance? Go for slick buns and sculptural earrings.
When your face feels “set,” the rest of your outfit falls into place. Start there.

3. Ignoring Your Mars Placement
Mars is your chart ruler. So where it sits and what sign it’s in will dramatically influence your style. An Aries rising with Mars in Virgo will dress differently than one with Mars in Leo or Gemini.
Mars in Taurus? Embrace heavy textures like leather, earthy colors, and slow luxury.
Mars in Aquarius? Futuristic, quirky, layered. Your fashion should break rules.
Mars in Leo? Gold, drama, performance. Think stage presence.
If you’re not considering your Mars sign, you’re missing half the picture of your Aries rising aesthetic. This placement gives you clues for how your fire manifests. Is it polished and planned, or wild and instinctive?
4. Choosing Black When Brown Would Empower You More
Aries energy thrives on warmth and movement. Black, while classic, can feel cold and flat on strong Aries placements.
Especially when overused. Brown tones, on the other hand, add groundedness and masculinity, which complement Aries’ core essence.
Try camel coats, chocolate leather, tan trousers, or rust-toned accents. These colors feel commanding without hardening your aura. They also pair beautifully with gold jewelry, another Aries signature.
If you want a neutral wardrobe that still reflects your fire, brown is your secret weapon.
5. Avoiding Menswear and Androgynous Power Pieces
Aries is the first sign. Which has a raw, instinctual, and masculine energy. This doesn’t mean you have to present as masculine, but your wardrobe should channel leadership, utility, and edge.
Lean into: Oversized leather jackets, Low-waisted, wide-leg jeans, Combat boots (customize them with pins, paint, or chains), Crisp button-ups or tailored vests, Structured cargo pants
Menswear doesn’t have to mean boring. It’s about wearing pieces that ground your ambition. If androgyny appeals to you, play with silhouettes that feel industrial and expressive at the same time.
Aries style is about action. These pieces say you’re ready to move.
6. Not Having a Signature Piece
One of the best ways to embody Aries rising fashion is by choosing a signature piece that screams “you.” Think of it like your personal armor. Something that instantly boosts your confidence and becomes part of your visual identity.
Whether it’s a spiked ear cuff, custom boots, a moto jacket, or fiery nails, your signature should be bold, fearless, and you.
Ask yourself: what item would I still wear 10 years from now that says everything about who I am? That’s your Aries fashion anchor.
Conclusion
Aries rising style isn’t about being trendy.
It’s about owning your energy. When you ignore the ruled body part (the head), hide behind black, or skip over your Mars placement, you lose the very spark that makes your aesthetic come alive.
Instead, lean into silhouettes, colors, and styling choices that match your natural fire.
