How to Dress Like a Virgo, According to an Astrologer

Virgo has a mind all its own.

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.

This autumnal earth sign "put a lot of thought into who they're representing and how they're representing themselves," according to Stardust. Given that Beyoncé's custom looks often contain meaning beyond adhering to her opulent aesthetic, she really is a classic Virgo.

Slip into a Skirt Set

Analytical Virgos style themselves from head to toe. "When they're putting a look together, it all has to align," Stardust says. One hassle-free approach to Virgo style is to go with a matching skirt set.

Pair Printed Separates

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.

Opt for Olive Green

"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

The Mary Jane was given a high-fashion, flower-power update on the Etro runway and is perfect for this timeless but trend-aware sign. Stardust recommends Virgos, who have a preference for luxe accessories, opt for a black patent leather pair.

Try a Mod Mini Skirt

"An A-line mini skirt feels very Virgo, especially for fall," says Stardust, who recommends the earth sign style this 'fit with a tucked-in cardigan and chunky shoes.

Opt for an Oversized Blazer

Due in part to their love of structure, Virgos are likely to find themselves creating outfits with a focus on sharp silhouettes. As such, an oversized blazer is likely to become this sign's go-to fall jacket.

Dive into Details

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.

Weatherproof a Slip Dress

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.

Try Sultry Suiting

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.)

Accessorize Your Outerwear

"Virgos love little accents and detailing," says Stardust, who believes this sign will gravitate towards belted puffer coats come wintertime.

Size Up Your Tote

Go for a big tote or go home. "Virgos love big bags and they love tote bags," says Stardust, adding that Virgos like to carry around all of their essentials in a single, go-to bag. Bigger is always better when it comes to totes for this sign, who is also willing to spent a bit more money to ensure their accessories are luxe and long-lasting.
