Astrology can and should inform everything you do. Whether that’s selecting your go-to perfume or finding the best time to have a difficult conversation with your partner. Even if you’re not an astro-fanatic — the type who constantly checks the calendar to see which planet is in retrograde or when the moon moves into Aquarius — you should embrace the fact that your zodiac sign can reveal quite a bit about who you are. And when it comes to building out your wardrobe, astrology can provide some guidance there, too.

Shop the best sunglasses for your zodiac sign

You see, each sign is associated with themes, personality traits, and elements that can direct your outfit choices. For example, a dreamy, watery Pisces might lean toward billowy silhouettes and pastels like butter yellow, while Taureans, the astrological aesthetes, might crave luxurious textures like suede. As we approach the summertime and the sunny days we’ve yearned for finally arrive, you’ll need a good pair of shades to go with all your summer dresses.

Of course, styles and functions of sunglasses vary and every pair can indicate a different vibe or mood. So why not let your sign’s classic traits dictate that accessory selection, too? All that said, it only made sense for us to go ahead and round up the best sunglasses based on each zodiac sign, so that your next signature pair properly mirrors your energy.

You walk into every room with confidence and a whole lot of energy, so these shades will just make your presence even more obvious. Aries people are natural-born leaders with a penchant for bold choices, which means that a square, oversized pair, especially in bold tortoise shell, is perfect for you. Just like an Aries, these sunnies simply can’t be ignored.

You are practical but still have a taste for the finer things in life, Taurus. So this means you need sunglasses that are reliable, classic, and can go with most everything you have in your wardrobe. You’re a creature of habit, so if a pair can’t be worn daily, what’s the point? That means these timeless Ray-Bans are absolutely the answer for you.

This sign is playful, curious, and nothing if not versatile. That’s why Geminis need accessories that rethink the classic shapes and patterns and can also start conversations (this sign loves to chitchat). So this fun, peach-coloured tortoise shell pair is right up their street.

Le Specs Lost Legacy Round-Frame Metal Sunglasses

Every sign has a planetary ruler, and for Cancers, it’s none other than the moon. Their emotions shift as quickly as the moon’s phases, so they deserve shades that honour their deeply lunar nature. The slim, round frames on these Le Specs should do the trick.

As the sign that’s ruled by the sun — the very centre of our universe — you’re no stranger to being the centre of attention. Everything you do makes a statement, which is why the bright, bold lenses on these glasses are perfect for Leos. You love taking life head-on and looking good while doing it and you’ve got a go-big-or-go-home attitude — these oversized shades should satisfy that.

for the virgo

H&M Oval sunglasses

Virgos are detail-oriented and don’t often deviate from their extremely well-defined personal aesthetic. So, when it comes time to put shades on, they’ll want to go with a classic silhouette that’s simple and stylish without feeling boring. People with this sign carry themselves highly, and this sleek pair will make sure they always look put together.

Nobody's Child Tortoiseshell Cat-eye Cecily Sunglasses

Tortoiseshell Cat-eye Cecily Sunglasses

This sign is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and charm, so Libras have a natural eye for what looks best. They also tend to lean toward timeless looks over passing trends. So these ‘60s-inspired, cat-eye shades perfectly gratify the Libran’s preference for classics. After all, this Air Sign wants looks that will stand the test of time.

for the scorpio

Nobody’s Child Black square maia sunglasses

Black square maia sunglasses

No one deserves a pair of dark, concealing shades more than Scorpios. This water sign is deep, passionate, intense, and has a bad habit of staring at people. So a pair of oversized pitch black glasses would be perfect for keeping those stare-downs on the low. And also maybe hiding any judgmental facial expressions that might pass through on occasion.

Anthropologie The Winnie Acetate Leafy Bubble Cat-Eye Sunglasses

The Winnie Acetate Leafy Bubble Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Sag people have an adventurous spirit that feels almost contagious at times. These unique flower-inspired specs reflect a lot about the way they walk through life: with a love for risk-taking and standing out from the crowd. They’re bright, fun, and v Luna Lovegood — in the same way that most Sagittariuses you’ll come across tend to be.

for the capricorn

Gucci Oval-frame acetate sunglasses

Capricorns are strong-willed, focused, and in many instances, incredibly intense — what better for them than these ultra-sophisticated sunglasses? This Earth Sign is ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure, so extra-angular accessories fall in line with the focused way these winter babies shape their lives.

BRU Eyewear Cannon Sunglasses in Yellow

Cannon Sunglasses in Yellow

Aquarians are the zodiac’s resident dissenters, who move through life with little regard for what the status quo expects of them. That means an unconventional pair like these are the perfect fit for them. They don’t have your standard silhouette, but you’d be hard-pressed to find an Aquarius on Earth who’d describe themself as standard. These people were put on earth to march to the beat of their own drum, and that’s what these glasses say.

for the pisces

Free People Laurel Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Laurel Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Daydreaming Pisces already see the world through rose-coloured lenses, so they should probably own some actual ones. A pair of chic, pastel pink specs like this one is great for maintaining the sunny outlook they have on life. Pisces are big on looking on the bright side, and who doesn’t want that energy around?
