Aries: Block Heels

That’s why a pair of block heels will make a perfect addition to your wardrobe. The chunky wedges will keep you firmly grounded as you power through your day.
Taurus: Kitten Heels
PabloBenitezLope / iStockTauruses aren’t known for having a wild and crazy fashion sense. Your wardrobe screams "quiet luxury," which is what makes the kitten heel the right match for you.
The subtle heel makes it perfect to wear with jeans, skirts, or dresses. And they’re professional enough to wear to work while being sexy enough for grabbing drinks after hours. An investment piece that’ll never go out of style—what more could a Taurus want?

Gemini: Slingbacks
Creative Lab / ShutterstockCurious and creative, Geminis are a bit unpredictable, including when it comes to fashion—which means your closet is full of things you haven’t worn in years. So, if you’re going to buy a new pair of heels, they should be classic and versatile, like slingbacks.
Not only are these shoes incredibly fashionable and flattering, but they also won’t hold you back from going about your busy day and many social engagements.
Cancer: Wedges
ShutterstockCancers like the look of elegance that wearing heels provides, but as a creature of comfort, you don’t like how unstable they make you feel.
Wedges still give you the same height and elongating effect as regular heels, but their sturdy soles and supportive ankle straps mean you'll feel comfortable and confident—very important factors when the zodiac's homebody decides to go out on the town.

So, grab a pair of platform heels for your next night out. Despite their height, their chunky design means they're easy to walk and dance in—important for a party animal like you!
Virgo: Pumps

That’s why we think you’ll love the look and feel of d'Orsay heels. Styled like a classic pump but with a stylish side cut-out, these shoes are just the right mix of sexy and sophisticated.
Scorpio: Stilettos

Thanks to their staggering height, stilettos are some of the toughest shoes to wear, but you aren’t one to back down from a challenge. Not only will you seriously impress everyone around you in these shoes, but you'll feel super sexy. The only downside to wearing them is that everyone will want your attention.

But more than that, you love shocking people, which is why we think you should get yourself a pair of sexy, high-heeled booties. They'll make a big statement and add something a little different to your outfits.
Pisces: Lace-Up Heels
ASashka/iStockPisces are dreamy and romantic, and your style certainly reflects that. You’re drawn to natural materials, flowing fabrics, and whimsical designs that make you feel like you’re in a fairytale.
That's why we recommend lace-up heels. They have a soft, feminine look on their own, but finding a pair in a pretty pastel color is even better.
