Shopping during the holiday season is always a lot of fun.
Who doesn't love going through their list to find the perfect gift for a loved one? Who also doesn't love going around from store to store to buy a little something extra for themselves? We fully support you doing exactly that right now (and any time of the year).
But when you're trying to decide just what to add to your closet this time around, why not look to the stars — and astrologer Valerie Mesa — for a little more guidance on how to spend your hard-earned money. Let your zodiac sign and Mesa point you toward what might bring you the most joy this winter season.
As always, shop what makes you happy! The rest is written in the stars.
Aries (March 21-April 19)

While you're out doing your holiday shopping, carve out time to pick up an indulgent piece for yourself, Aries, because you deserve it. We're talking a statement piece. It's time. Go big, go bold, and go metallic. Happy New Year!
"Be bold and unique," Mesa says. "This season is about putting an emphasis on individuality."
Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus should lean into their sophisticated side this holiday season. Go for a stylish and refined look all winter long with an indulgent cashmere sweater. You can never go wrong with something that's soft and luxurious — and also comfortable.
"Chic, tailored outfits featuring luxe fabrics like velvet and cashmere are in," Mesa says. "Elevate the look for a holiday party with timeless accessories, such as a statement belt or elegant heels."
Gemini (May 21-June 21)

This season, Gemini is leaning into her adventurous side — and that means embracing all things bright, fun and sparkly. Really go for it with your holiday-wear by picking new pieces for your closet that allow you to have fun with colors and metallics.
"For your holiday outfit, try layered outfits that incorporate a mix of prints and textures," Mesa says. "Pair that with travel-inspired accessories like a stylish scarf or bold boots to add a touch of whimsy and exploration to your festive look."
Cancer (June 22-July 22)

For Cancers, you're going to want to celebrate a bit of sensuality this holiday season — but you know as well as we do that you love being comfortable. Why not blend both? Lean into your sexy side without sacrificing your comfort with a figure-flattering slip dress that can be styled a million different ways.
"It's all about figure-hugging dresses made from soft, luxurious fabrics," Mesa says. "Choose styles with lace accents, off-the-shoulder cuts or daring slits."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you have a holiday party on your list, Leo, you're in luck. The stars are going to align for you this season, and they're going to shine bright — and you need to match that energy! Get ready to go shopping for something eye-catching that will let your vibrant personality shine.
"Your holiday wardrobe is all about glamorous outfits featuring bold colors and eye-catching details, such as sequined dresses or statement jumpsuits," Mesa says. "Complement the look with dazzling accessories!"
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Here's the thing, Virgo. We want you to be refined and regal this holiday season. Pick a classic piece that will never go out of style. Put it in your closet this month and hold onto it for holiday seasons to come. A great neutral jacket that you can dress up or down will do exactly that.
"Neutral tones are for you," Mesa says. "Emphasize classic silhouettes with a chic watch or dainty jewelry."
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(499x0:501x2)/sam-edelman-Trent-Slingback-Pump-ca0041c012ee4315bc564a876358ff09.jpg)
You're a romantic, Libra, and you know it. Let that side really shine during the holidays, even if you're a single Pringle. Buy that pretty dress you've been eyeing and doll it up with all the pretty accessories you want. Might we recommend these sweet heels?
"Pair your flowy dresses with delicate accessories," Mesa says. "You have a flair for beauty and detail."
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

If you don't already have a pair of party pants, now is the time to invest. We know you love to wear black, Scorpio, but that doesn't mean you can't add some sparkle! Pump up the volume on your black pants by adding a holiday twist.
"You're mysterious and intense, often incorporating dark, rich tones," Mesa says. "Add a touch of intrigue to your closet."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

We hope you have your dancing shoes ready, because you're going to be grooving your way into 2025, Sagittarius. But you need the proper look to go with them! Not just anything will do for a free spirit like you, though. You need something with some sparkle and flair this season — and something that will let you show off your slick moves.
"You want something comfortable yet stylish that allows for movement," Mesa says. "Pair it wish unique accessories to bring a touch of wanderlust."
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Capricorns are all about going classy and elegant. You're that girl who has a little black dress for every occasion, and guess what? That's okay — there's always room for one more LBD in the rotation. A bedazzled one with just enough bling for the holidays won't hurt!
"Keep it classic and tailored this holiday," Mesa says. "Complement with a handbag that exudes refinement and status."
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(399x0:401x2)/JW-PEI-Womens-Abacus-Top-Handle-Bag-56a5baaacd954b03b79f61f352e6f98e.jpg)
Cap off your year with a dazzling accessory that gives you some added flair, Aquarius. That's what's truly calling for you! It will allow you to show off your uniqueness and your love of fashion.
"Go for the futuristic and unconventional," Mesa says. "Pick something innovative and unique that pushes boundaries and incorporates unexpected materials and designs."
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Skims
We have fun news for you, Pisces. Relax, this holiday season, and kick up your heels. We fully support you adding some fun holiday PJs to the collection. Whether you want to go specifically for some dreamy silk pajamas or more cozy with a fuzzy robe (like this SKIMS one that also has a matching hoodie and shorts), the common denominator is relaxation.
"Pajamas with whimsical details are your holiday pick this year!" Mesa says.
