Letting your zodiac sign point you in the direction of new outfit ideas is hardly an exact science, but it is lots of fun. Especially when Lisa Stardust, fashion and astrology expert is guiding the way. Stardust knows her stuff, a fact sure to be appreciated by Virgo, the zodiac's meticulous planner. "Virgos are reflective and analytical when they're preparing their outfits," Stardust tells InStyle. "They put a lot of care and love into what they present to the world. They're always very well put together."

To get an idea of the quintessential Virgo style, look no further than Queen Bey. "Beyoncé is our ultimate Virgo queen," says Stardust. From head to toe, she looks perfect." The level of attention Beyoncé paid to her Renaissance Tour looks is a great example of how Virgos approach fashion.

If a full matching skirt set isn't quite your speed, try pairing printed pieces to create the cohesion that Virgos crave. A pair of jeans and a coordinated jacket are great for creating a fully polished look with a more casual air.

"Virgos don't shy away from color," says Stardust, "but they prefer neutrals and earth tones." When looking for Virgo colors, let your earth sign status guide you toward shades of green, clay, and stone. One trending fall shade that speaks to Virgos is olive oil green, a close match to the olive green spotted in the dress above. In the words of our astro-expert, "The Prada olive green slip dress is a very Virgo dress."

Add Mary Janes

Stardust characterizes Virgo as ye ole' "Kitten with a whip," meaning that they love to add a bit of sensuality to their 'fits — without getting into vulgar territory. Rather than going all-out in a bodycon dress, Stardust thinks Virgos prefer to express this side of their style through subtle details.

Another very Virgo outfit is a maxi slip dress layered over a turtleneck or long-sleeve shirt. The extra layer won't detract from the sleekness of your maxi, but will add a bit of timelessness and polished vibe beloved by Virgos.

When it comes to a night out look, Stardust believes Virgos will love the structure and suggested, but not overt, sensuality of a blazer wore with a statement necklace instead of a shirt. Thank you as always, Jenna Lyons (who, for the record, is a Gemini.)

Feed this earth sign's structure hunger pains by keeping appropriately structured separates on hand. Not only will interesting shapes delight your fashion sensibilities, but you can also organize your closet around shape and combine pieces you wouldn't normally think of as cohesive.

While they don't share, say, Leo's confidence, Virgos won't say no to attention, according to Stardust. That said, comfort is also key. "They're not going to wear something that might make them feel self-conscious, but they do often enjoy showing off their bodies," she says.
