Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year when the sun shines its brightest and the energy is fierce...

...that’s right, Leo Season is here! Feeling a little feral lately? Like you’ve been cooped up too long and need to break free, leap the barricade, and make the world your stage? Sounds like the fire sign fever is settling in.


Ruled by the sun, Leos are bold, blazing, and born to lead as the queens of the zodiac’s wild kingdom. From July 22 to August 22, our lions are chomping at the bit to bask in the spotlight and seize the day for all it's worth.


Where Cancer season looks inward, Leo season flips the switch. It’s time to act on what emotions we’ve discovered, channel your courage, and takes the steps to acheive whatever it is you've been dreaming about. 


Leos don’t sit still. They crave drama, power, and performance - sound familiar? Their dramatic flair and larger-than-life presence makes them naturally born pole dancers, with a confidence that clearly translates into their vibrant and not-so-subtle wardrobes. If you’re looking to exude confidence and move like you own the room this season, take a page from Leo’s book.

You're so Golden!

Our wild cats love to make a statement, especially a shimmery one.

Like Aries, Leos are naturally drawn to warm shades that reflect their fire element, but while Aries tend to favour deeper, darker tones, Leos gravitate towards colours that glow like the sun. As the royalty of the zodiac, they have an instinctive taste for luxury, drama and opulence, making gold metallics the ultimate Leo power colour.


If a robe and sceptre aren’t readily available, the Hotcakes Dunes Siren Bodysuit is the next best thing. With its striking double straps, daring cut-outs and liquid-gold shine, it catches the light with every spin and commands attention in true Leo fashion. From desert heat to centre stage, this is a one-piece made for conquering absolutely anything.


Every pole-dancing Leo has the heart of a lion, and funnily enough, their zodiac sign is intrinsically connected to the heart itself. It makes perfect sense when you consider their unmatched generosity, loyalty and enormous capacity for love. Leos are also said to rule the back and spine, which, let’s be honest, gives them plenty of space to make an entrance. They are at their most powerful when they honour these parts of the body: standing tall, leading with their hearts and expressing themselves boldly through movement.


Our magnificent lions deserve sets that feel every bit as daring as they are, while still allowing a full range of motion. Think statement straps, breathable cut-outs and silhouettes designed to show off the back. Ruled by the heart (and known to break a few along the way) the Exclusive RAD Hedonism Set has Leo written all over it. With its unique triple-strap silhouette, luminous shimmer fabric and metallic heart nestled at the chest, this golden gem is truly a feast for the eyes.


Should we make things cheekier? We think we should. Combine your soft and savage side with the latest dangerous look from Baddie Strings. The Tease Marigold Velvet Micro Bikini brings a little sweetness to our wild cats, with delicate pale-yellow piping tracing every edge. Wear your bottoms low or high with fully adjustable straps, arch and pounce with a breathable open back and sink your claws into a little sunshine velvet.


Prowl Approved

Accessories are an absolute must for Leos and are often the finishing touch to make any simple outfit extraordinary.

Since Leos prioritise functionality in their sets and one-pieces, they let their flair for drama shine through harnesses, garters, jewellery, and accessories. If you’re looking to channel that confident fire energy, the rules are simple: don’t hold back and if it comes in gold, even better. For a statement piece that commands attention, look no further than the CXIX Twin Flame Garter. With soft satin finish elastic, stacked double thigh straps, and gorg silver hardware, it would make cat woman herself purr.


During performances and pole routine, Leos aren’t afraid to get down on all fours. In fact, they’re the masters of body rolls, knee slides, cat-like arches and crawling seductively. Their floorwork builds anticipation like a lioness skulking its prey with slow and sultry movements mixed with dynamic drops and smooth spins. But before you pounce into that kip flip, you better protect those precious kneecaps first with a pair of stylish and reliable pads. A must have accessory for any feline on the prowl has to be the Queen Grippy Kneepads in Wild Black These bad boys are one of our best-selling products, featuring interchangeable padding and grippy side panelling, and 3-side protect technology.


Being akin to the animal kingdom and the natural world it lives in, Leos tend to care about what goes into the products they use. Ethically sourced, cruelty-free choices are always going to appeal to these big-hearted lions, and luckily, fur and polewear were never a great match anyway.


Being environmentally conscious shouldn’t mean compromising on your training. With the Enviro Grip Liquid Chalk, you’ll be able to reduce sweat, improve your grip and conserve our environment. What’s not to love? This product comes in a beautifully biodegradable bottle making it the first of its kind, with 50$ from every bottle sold going straight to Conservation International. Customers praise this grip aid for its heavenly scent and affective grip that’s helped many advance their pole dance training and feel more confident in their abilities. It’s time to pursue your passions and give back to the planet at the same time.

Feelin' Feline

There’s no denying the fact, Leos know how to flaunt an animal print...


Whether it’s snake, zebra, cheetah or leopard, Leos wear animal print like a second skin. But with the heart and confidence of a lion, these luscious felines are naturally drawn to the fiercest big-cat markings: tiger stripes, jaguar spots and, of course, lashings of leopard. This season, we’re crowning Harna the reigning trailblazer of leopard-loving pole fashion. The brand has released plenty of ferocious pieces into the wild before, but its latest arrivals are positively deadly. The Obsession Bodysuit was built for slow, intentional stalking, sudden pounces and every powerful movement in between. Slip it on, lock onto your target and let instinct take over.


Leopard print truly is the ultimate neutral and nobody does it quite like CXIX. Unleash your inner feline in the crème de la crème of animal print: the iconic Buckle Up Garter Top and Bottoms. After the NYX Safari colourways became one of the brand’s bestselling collections, it was only a matter of time before this supportive, attention-commanding silhouettes prowled back into the jungle in Classic Brown Leopard. Made from breathable four-way stretch fabric and designed to make you feel every bit as sexy as you are strong, this set is fierce, flexible and completely untameable.


How could leopard print possibly get any sexier? The answer is simple: make it sheer. Mesh and animal print were born to prowl together, and the Hotcakes Lynx Set is exhibit A. Practically made for the spotlight, Lynx Black combines delicate black mesh tulle, leopard-print detailing and daring cuts designed to send shivers down the spine. Start purring, babe, this one is serving pure feline fantasy and if there's one thing a Leo will never do, is blend in.


Step Into the Spotlight

Finally, there really is no better way to make an entrance then in an eye-catching pair of heels.

Let’s not forget that Leos are the performers, scene-stealers and undisputed show-stoppers of the zodiac. Subtlety simply isn’t in their nature. If you’re looking to cause a commotion, stop traffic or make sure your outfit lives rent-free in everyone’s mind, get your paws on a pair of Hella Heels Jungle Over-the-Knee 8-Inch Boots, available in both open- and closed-toe styles. Let your wild side off the leash with built-in knee protection, reinforced toe boxes and a low-cut back designed to keep the pole within easy reach. As supportive as they are sultry, these boots provide added ankle stability for fast-paced flow, dynamic tricks and routines that demand your full power. They bring exactly the kind of deadly drama a Leo craves. But be warned, once the beast is out of its cage, she may never be tamed again.


There’s an undeniable magic to a pair of pole dancing heels. With one strap, they can transform your routine, elevate your outfit and unlock a completely different level of confidence. After all, it’s difficult to play shy when you’re strutting around in 8-inch stilettos. For our majestic Leos, an extravagant pair of heels is the easiest gateway to full main-character energy. Add a little extra luxury to your pole fit with the Pleaser USA Glitter Ombré Stilettos, created for dancers who believe more is more and then add glitter. Leos may have a practical side, but they’ll never resist a flash of opulence, a little sparkle or an opportunity to catch every light in the room. Que the Hella Heels 24K Magic Stilettos...


Whether you’re choosing untamed animal print or high-glamour shimmer for your next performance, point those claws, toss back your mane and give your audience the royal spectacle they came to see.

Leos are the dazzling stars of the zodiac, embodying a passion for life that is admirable and infectious. Not only do they radiate in the lime light but they’re quick to pull their loved ones in with them. Their charisma, natural leadership skills and creative genius makes them powerful pole performers and instructors. If you’re struggling with a pole routine, you can always count on a Leo for inspiration and ideas to heighten your performance. Whether it’s a cute transition spin or a confetti canon, these guys know how to captivate an audience. During dark times, we are grateful for our sun ruled fire signs who shine a light on what matters most and steer us towards the horizon.
