Top 3 Demure Zodiac Signs

Dictionary.com defines “demure” as that which is “characterized by shyness and modesty; reserved.” Rather than screaming in your face, demure whispers in your ear. Demure is subtle instead of harsh, delicate instead of crude, and gentle instead of obnoxious. Instead of letting it all hang out, the demure aesthetic tucks it all back in. It’s very mindful, very demure, very cutesy.

The following three zodiac signs are naturally demure—very demure, in fact. 

1. Virgo 

You wouldn’t expect a sign symbolized by a Virgin to be trashy and flashy. Rather than being loud and obnoxious, Virgos are calm and elegant. A grounded Earth sign, Virgos are logical, meticulous, and reserved. Since they are self-conscious and self-critical, they lean toward being shy and introverted. A quintessential “demure” Virgo is actress Evan Rachel Wood (b. September 7, 1987). Her default setting is chic and yet restrained, simple and yet polished—classy rather than brassy.

2. Pisces

Ruled by Jupiter, this Water sign is gentle, sensitive, and introspective. Pisces is focused more on inner tranquility than on the roar of the crowd. Their demeanor is classic and eternal instead of transient and fleeting. A sterling example of a demure Pisces is actress Dakota Fanning (b. February 23, 1994). She favors soft, muted, primary colors and classic clothing that doesn’t leap out and bite you. Even her smile is understated.

3. Capricorn

An Earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet that guides wisdom and responsibility, Capricorns are cautious and quiet, prim and proper. They are disciplined and hard-working instead of being reckless and impulsive.  Representing Capricorn with her timelessly demure style is Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge (b. January 9, 1982). She manages to be poised without being snobby, regal without being pompous, and royal without being imperious.
