First, came clothes hangers, then, we tackled Glossier products. Now, the Refinery29 shopping team is letting the stars determine the best leggings you should wear for your next workout…because, why not?
In the name of quality journalism, we sought the sage advice of astrology expert Lisa Stardust (plus Samantha and Spencer Baker, of Spencer Pilates Arts for fitness expertise) to help put together the ultimate leggings guide according to your star sign. Ahead, find which one is meant for you — although we won’t tell if you venture outside of your sign and make a beeline for the on-sale Lululemons.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
ODODOS Women’s High Waist Yoga Capris with Pocket
Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)
“Since Capricorns are independent and enjoy challenges, we would recommend a Pilates reformer or tower class,” the Bakers tell Refinery29. A strong contender for Caps is this ultra-stretchy pair of high-waisted (and even higher-reviewed — 13,500 reviews!) Amazon leggings that will hold up to the most grueling of tiny leg pulses and jackknife sets. A true goat displays discipline not only in her workouts but also in her wallet so this pair for less than $20 is it.

Outdoor Voices 7/8 Springs Leggings
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
“Aquarius likes self-focus and deep spiritual connection,” the Bakers say. “We would recommend a guided meditation or yoga class to get their spiritual focus restored.” In sartorial speak though, that could translate to pastel color-block that matches Aquarius’s “airy vibe.” Outdoor Voices’ bestselling Springs leggings offer moderate compression but are still comfy enough to sit on a meditation cushion or chill out in Downward Dog.

ATTRACO Women’s Long Board Shorts
Pisces (February 19 to March 20)
“As a water sign, we would recommend swimming or water aerobics,” the Bakers tell us, adding that a Vinyasa yoga class also works as a land-based workout. As for what to wear? According to Stardust, these cropped board shorts “help the mystical fish kick and swim during underwater workouts.”

Lululemon Fast and Free Tight II 25″ Nulux
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
“Aries are enthusiastic about their workout and looking to do their very best,” Baker says. “We would recommend a suspension training class such as TRX or Crossfit.” As for what to wear? Buttery-soft, performance Lululemon leggings (especially in an optimistic goldenrod colorway) feel so right — and will keep you dry no matter how sweaty things get when you’re doing the most.

Alo Yoga High-Waist Mesmerize Capri
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
“Sensual Taurus likes to show off while working out, which is why mesh leggings will be their favorite option for spin class,” Stardust says. Why cycling, might you ask? “Taurus is an earth sign that likes structure and repetition,” explain the Bakers.

Tek Gear Plus Size High Waisted Colorblock Leggings
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
“Since this air sign likes to have fun — but doesn’t necessarily like to get super sweaty — we would recommend a Pilates Jumpboard class for them,” say Samantha and Spencer of the low-impact yet strength-building workout modality. These high-waisted leggings will give you the support you need while being flexible enough to keep you comfortable. (Oh, and according to Stardust, nothing matches “Gemini’s dichotomous nature” quite like two-tone colorblocking.)

Girlfriend Collective Plum LITE High-Rise Legging Legging
Cancer (June 22 to July 22)
“With their love for heat and instinctive energy, we think the best workout for Cancer would be hot yoga or a Hatha Vinyasa class,” say the Bakers. Keep things cool in a breathable, lightweight legging like this capri-length pair from Girlfriend Collective’s Lite collection, which is tailor-made to keep you cool even during your hottest workouts.

Heroine Sport Marvel Legging
Leo (July 23 to August 22)
Yes, Leos’ next-level presence is felt even when working out: “Since Leos like to be in charge and love the spotlight, we would recommend a dance or barre class,” the Bakers say. Make sure all eyes are on your impeccable plié form with these high-shine leggings.

Everlane The Perform Legging
Virgo (August 23 to September 22)
“Virgo is an earth sign that enjoys improving their skills through persistence and repetition — for this sign, we would suggest a Pilates mat class,” explain the Bakers. Everlane’s sustainably-made Perform Legging is ideal for a moderate-impact workout like Pilates, and the recycled textile aligns with Virgo’s innate connection to all things nature-related.

All In Motion Women’s Simplicity Mid-Rise Leggings
Libra (September 23 to October 22)
Libras have an innate sense of harmony and balance, and naturally gravitate towards a more mindful, low-impact workout. “Libras always like to have balance, but don’t necessarily like to sweat,” the Bakers tell us. “We would recommend a calming tai chi workout for this sign.” For a decidedly chill workout, a stretchy, super-soft legging like this pair from Target’s new activewear brand All In Motion is just what the doctor ordered.

Nike Women’s Victory Training Capris
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
“Scorpios are intense and like to sweat,” the Bakers say, adding that there’s nothing they’ll love more than going out for a heart-racing run — seriously, once you get out there it’s bliss. These Nike Training capris feature maximum sweat-wicking ability and a wide waistband that won’t ride down while you jog it out.

LNA Leopard Leggings
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
“Sags love to take a walk on the wild side and these leggings will allow the archer to shine brightly, even when they work up a sweat,” Stardust says. As a fire sign, the pros recommend a challenging, technical workout like archery (very apropos for the Archer) or fencing.
