It’s nearly 2026 (we can’t believe it either), which means it’s time for a mini overhaul on your closet.
After the holiday season winds down and you take stock of what gifts you got (and what you bought yourself), it’s time to look to the stars for the truly perfect piece that 2026 demands you have in your wardrobe. We’re not talking a simple pair of jeans or sneakers, we’re talking the standout piece that will make the new year shine.
Ahead, astrologer Valerie Mesa breaks down exactly what each zodiac sign should keep an eye out for during their end-of-year shopping. If you add a few pieces to your wardrobe in addition to our pick, we won’t tell anyone!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Revolve
Aries is storming straight into 2026 and they need a wardrobe piece to evoke that vibe. It’s going to be a big, bold year for this zodiac sign!
“Aries enters the new year in full boss-babe mode,” Mesa says. “With the sun spotlighting the most public sector of their chart, this skirt is everything they need to lead and look the part. It’s also a power move, and there’s nothing this Mars-ruled sign loves more than to take charge.”
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Steve Madden
It’s going to be such a bright year for Taurus that they need to wear shades. The stars don’t want you to have just any pair of sunnies, though — a statement pair is a must.
“Winter is Taurus’ cue to channel their ‘black cat’ energy. Bold and mysterious, these oversize black shades are a practical luxury,” Mesa says. “Ruled by Venus, this Earth sign craves beauty, and a sleek pair of shades is a must-have.”
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Golden Goose
It’s all in the accessories for Gemini this season. Jazz up your outfits with things like statement belts. You’ll fall in love with all manner of silhouettes, but choosing one investment piece will set off the year.
“Ruled by savvy and eclectic Mercury, Gemini lives for the details. They also love reinventing themselves, and this statement belt makes the perfect addition to their ever-changing wardrobe,” Mesa shares. “Much like their innate duality, this belt is just as practical as it is fabulous.”
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Anthropologie
Whether you dress it up or down, a plaid top is the versatile piece a Cancer needs in their closet. We love this Anthropologie one because it’s slouchy enough to be cozy but can also be worn open for a bit of sex appeal.
“Cozy-chic is a Cancer’s signature look,” Mesa says. “Ruled by the moody moon, they crave comfort but still appreciate fashion. This plaid top is equally nostalgic and stylish, whether they’re baking cookies or enjoying a cabin weekend. Comfort is their love language, and this top gets the job done.”
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Express
Sure, animal-print feels on the nose for a Leo, but it’s always a solid pick. This sweater has more of a realistic animal print that feels elevated, and it can be worn with jeans, a skirt or a sleek pair of trousers.
“No one does animal print like a Leo. Ruled by the sun and born to shine, leopard print is the ultimate muse for their sassy zodiac archetype. Playful but still glamorous, this piece commands attention, and Leo wouldn’t have it any other way,” Mesa says.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Kate Spade
Who doesn’t love a chic tote that holds everything but still feels stylish? That’s exactly what this tote will do for a Virgo (you can thank us later).
“Virgos don’t do messy; they would much rather be immaculate. Whether they’re juggling emails or running errands, this Kate Spade tote will keep their life (and look) together,” Mesa says. “Sleek and endlessly practical, it’s big enough to hold their planner and the ‘just in case’ emergency pouch they never leave the house without.”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
All Saints
Get ready to turn things up in 2026, Libra. To do that, you need the perfect LBD — and we see lots of lace in your future. If you pick a silhouette like this, it can be used for tons of events (or date nights) and will be with you all year long.
“Governed by luscious Venus, it’s safe to say that Libras look the part no matter where they go. But a little black dress with romantic lace? Chef’s kiss. Whether it’s date night or a sophisticated art museum, this look lets them play muse while still looking ravishing,” Mesa says.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Sophia Webster
A gold pendant necklace can take any outfit to the next level. With this Sophia Webster piece, you can wear it all the time to add some sparkle to your outfit — all while embracing the transformative ethos of butterflies.
“Scorpio is a powerful manifestor and this gold butterfly pendant reminds them that rebirth can also be glamorous. After all, this Water sign is known for its Plutonian power and magnetic charm, and the butterfly speaks to their ongoing themes of transformation,” Mesa says.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Nordstrom
Sagittarius, you’re a star, and you need a new piece of jewelry to play that up. Why not go for a new pair of chandelier earrings to wear to every party? We love this pair, but we know you have impeccable taste and can choose whatever jewels tickle your fancy.
“Sagittarius goes big or goes home, literally,” Mesa says. “Whether they’re catching flights or feelings, these gold cubic-zirconia chandelier earrings are a statement piece for the new year. Besides, when this Fire sign walks into a room, they’re the main character.”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Abercrombie & Fitch
As an Earth sign, a Capricorn would do well with a chocolate brown blazer in their closet (if they don’t already have one). It’s a bit richer and more approachable than harsh black, but is still a neutral that can be worn with so many other things.
“No one rocks a blazer quite like a Capricorn,” Mesa says. “As the new year kicks off, this Earth sign’s tailored blazer gives serious ‘I mean business’ energy. It’s effortlessly chic and will have everyone turning heads at work or brunch.”
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Marc Jacobs
You already know you were born to stand out, Aquarius. Pick up another piece to get that message across — we support you in this journey.
“For Aquarius, being basic is the ultimate faux pas. Ruled by eccentric Uranus, the cosmic rebel, this Air sign thrives when going against the grain, and this star-studded shoulder bag is here to deliver,” Mesa says. “Plus, it makes a stellar birthday treat to celebrate their solar return.”
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’ll never go wrong with a pair of classic Mary Janes. Investing in a quality pair that will last for years is a great way to start 2026.
“Pisces rules the feet, so naturally, they can’t ever get enough shoes. Still, these Mary Janes are just as romantic as they are practical, not to mention perfect for a sign who constantly drifts between fantasy and reality. They’re giving poetic charm, helping this Water sign glide through every daydream,” Mesa says.
