Stressing over which new shoes to buy is a good problem to have, to be sure, but it's not fair to dismiss it as totally frivolous either. Unless you've got an unlimited budget, you're likely examining the spring 2016 season and thinking about both holes in your wardrobe and how much you can afford to spend on a fresh closet addition. Instead of hemming and hawing over what to commit to, trust in the stars. We examined the trends that came down the runways last September through a lens sharpened by astrological insight and deciphered which shoe trend would be best for each zodiac sign.

Inspired by the satin ribbons of a ballerina's pointe shoes, statement-making wraps demand to be noticed. While the wearer can decide just how high to coil them, we know you, Aries; It's all the way up.
