I’m going to throw in an early disclaimer that I’m in no way an astrologer. I’m just someone who loves learning about star sign traits and personality types, mentally creating a checklist that goes against each one so that I can be ready to completely prejudge someone based on their star sign.
This mental checklist I’ve been working on for years means that alongside my (completely legitimate) fashion editor advice, I can also give you some (completely illegitimate) star-sign advice when it comes to shopping.
With warm weather properly on the horizon, it’s time to think about our summer wardrobes, and the high street is packed with new season tops. The best way to edit them down to find the one for you? By your star sign, of course!
Capricorn
The top: a printed silky shirt
Capricorns are known to be hardworking, so what better fit than a versatile silky shirt that works equally as hard in your wardrobe? Wear with the matching trousers and mules by night, then tucked into jeans with loafers by day. Capricorns make success look effortless, and it doesn’t come any more effortless than a chic silky top.
Aquarius
The top: a work-ready striped shirt
The first air sign, it’s a natural fit for Aquarians to look to a calming blue top for spring. They’re confident and natural leaders so a smart shirt that makes a statement but means business is key. Arket does an array of striped oversized shirts every season, but this bold blue was made for Aquarians.
Pisces
The top: a pretty embroidered blouse
Pisces are one of the most romantic, sensitive signs of the zodiac, so what better fit than a pretty embroidered blouse that speaks to their creativity? Sezane should be high on a Piscean’s shopping radar since it nails the romantic aesthetic year-round. The scalloped edge is also giving the coastal vibes this water baby needs.

Aries
The top: a striped knit vest
Aries’ natural high energy suits a fun-loving top, so a sweater vest that combines crochet and bright tonal stripes nicely ticks their boxes. They’re confident (that’ll be the fire sign in them!), so won’t mind making a statement and teaming this with white jeans and chunky sandals when the weather warms up.
Taurus
The top: a sleek black body
The Taurus gal loves her home comforts, so as an LBD is the default evening dress code for many of us, the trusty LBB (that’s Little Black Bodysuit) suits the Taurean perfectly. She’s trustworthy and reliable, so it’s only right that she demands the same from her wardrobe.
A black bodysuit will be a staple: wear under knits for now, then team with dark jeans and strappy mules for summer nights.
Gemini
The top: A bold out out blouse
Think of the most sociable friend in your circle and I’ll bet they’re a Gemini. If they’re on the hunt for a new season top, I can also bet it’ll be one they can wear with a silky skirt and high heels to go out in. The playful and fun-loving Gemini is best suited to the Barbiecore takeover dominating the high street in time for the Barbie movie release, and this sweet but sexy blouse is perfect.
Cancer
The top: The summery printed top
Cancerians are known for being sensitive souls with a goofy sense of humour, so a top that provides a dopamine hit and makes them smile is a winner. British label Kitri excels at both and its summer collection is *chef’s kiss*. Think citrus prints, vintage designs and mood-boosting brights.
Leo
The top: the snakeskin printed top
Leos are confident being the centre of attention, so a print that commands the room and is the lesser-spotted animal print on the high street, will suit their fiery personalities nicely. While this top appears low-key, when worn with silver trousers, strappy black heels and a bold red lip, as our Leos would, it makes a statement.
Virgo
The top: a fashion-forward neutral waistcoat
The practical, stylish Virgo will always have smart but comfortable workwear looks on the brain, and this khaki waistcoat ticks the box. With the matching trousers, it suits the Virgo’s perfectionist personality to a T, making for a failsafe chic look that frees them up to focus on other things.
Libra
The top: the denim shirt
Libras are well-balanced, naturally, so a top that toes the smart and casual line will be on their wish list. The denim shirt, specifically this classic mid-weight style from shirt aficionados With Nothing Underneath is their idea of fashion heaven.
Scorpio
The top: the leather shirt
The fierce and brave Scorpio needs a top that portrays her strong side, and what better fit than an edgy leather shirt? The dark colour and powerful silhouette suits a Scorpio personality perfectly, and she can throw this on over a ribbed vest and jeans for an easy spring outfit.
Sagittarius
The top: The knitted choker top
A spontenous and fun sign, Sagittarians need a top that’ll go from day-to-night seamlessly, since last minute plans with friends are commonplace. By day, this choker knit works with a blazer and wide-leg trousers, but by night, with big earrings, leather trousers and heels it comes into its own. Just like a Sagittarius.
