Aries: Cowl Neck Sweater

Your enthusiasm for life and relentless desire to succeed means you need to wear something eye-catching, like a bold cowl neck sweater. This classic design will have you feeling ready for any occasion, and the flirty silhouette is sure to give you the main character moment you’re looking for.
Taurus: Cashmere Sweater

You’ll never buy the off-brand or budget version of an item you really want; you have the patience to save your money so you can splurge on the high-end items you know you'll love.
For this reason, nothing makes more sense than the ultimate luxury item—a classic cashmere sweater. Soft as can be and made of high-quality fibers, this timeless wardrobe staple will never go out of style. And if you care for it properly, it'll last for decades.

Libra: V-Neck Sweater
