As an Aries, there’s not much that holds you back from making a bold statement. You prefer to stand out from the crowd, and you’ve got enough confidence alone to set you apart.

The Taurus prefers to make a fashion statement in an understated way. She likes feminine colors such as pink, but she values quality-made items that’ll help complete almost all of her outfits perfectly. In other words, she wants to get a lot of bang for her buck, and this magnolia Chloé Marcie bag ($1,990) is just trendy enough for her style.

Gemini, you’re totally unpredictable. One day you want to stand out, but the next you prefer to go about your look in a subtle way. This Valentino Rockstud bag ($3,645) may be pricey, but it offers the best of both worlds and plays to both your sides. Its hunter-green shade isn’t over the top, but its edgy embellishments are nothing short of eye-catching, in case you spontaneously decide to channel your inner rocker.

There’s only one bag that comes to mind when you consider the classic style of the Cancer sign: a Chanel. But since you’re attracted to neutral colors that give off a slight shimmer, a simple black 2.55 isn’t worth it for you. You’ll feel ladylike and smart with a beige Chanel purse ($3,699) that’s complete with a gold chain.

When it comes to accessories, you’re not about to let anyone else upstage you. Even if it means being a bit, well, flashy, you’re going to show off your investment piece, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. This shearling Fendi Be Baguette Mini bag ($1,589) is bright enough for your style and comes in your favored color, orange.

You have a signature uniform, and it’s never failed you. It’s not quite girlie, but it’s far from grungy, so you need a bag that falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum — and remains your go-to every single day. Once you’re swinging the Prada Saffiano tote ($2,200) on your shoulder, in a luxe caramel hue, you’ll never take it off.

Blue is your power color, and you favor any design that’s structured and symmetrical. Since you’re always out to find something new or experiment, a smart choice would be Kate Spade’s Holden Leslie satchel ($398). You won’t feel so guilty about indulging in this statement piece, but you’ll be excited to show it off.

You, Scorpio, are walking proof that black is never boring. Though you prefer dark colors since they blend in so well with your signature style, you’re not afraid of a little edge. The Alexander Wang Rockie bag ($850) is right up your alley.

You’re adventurous but not at all fussy. You want a quirky bag — preferably in a fun shade, like purple — that’ll rest easy on your shoulder as you go from place to place. The Proenza Schouler Elliot bag ($1,650) is just right for you, providing just the right amount of additional flair with a crocodile-embossed strap.

A Capricorn is a sophisticate through and through. You like fine craftsmanship, the look of supersleek leather, and a standout silhouette, and you don’t fuss over flashy labels. When it comes to fashion, you’re smart, and you’re proud that you always make out with the right pieces — like the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag ($495), equipped with a red interior.

You do not care what others think of you or your fashion choices. Sure, some might raise their eyebrows at the handbag you chose to invest in, but it spoke to you. What’s so bad about that? Chances are, you’ll rock an artsy satchel, like this Paula Cademartori shoulder bag ($1,820) until you’re blue in the face. What’s more? You’ll be remembered for it.

You’ve got a free spirit that’s empowered by texture and avant-garde design. Your favored shade is sea-green, and you’d live life as a mermaid if you could, which is why this Burberry Aqua Petal clutch ($1,595) would swim seamlessly into your wardrobe.
