32 No-Fuss, Elevated Items That Ooze Capricorn Vibes
"New year, new me" is the motto for all of my fellow cool-girl Capricorns. As the first sign to celebrate turning one year older in 2025, I can confidently say our signature fashion tone is set to define the next 12 months. Maybe I'm biased, but my fellow Capricorns have the best style in my eyes. Muses like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Diane Keaton follow Capricorn's practical, elevated fashion rule book to a T and have become famous while doing it.
Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure, Capricorns have a practical, responsible, and often conservative approach to fashion. Think classic silhouettes, neutral color palettes, and a knack for all things refined and luxury. This Earth sign places a massive importance on longevity over fleeting micro-trends and instead curate their wardrobes with intention and care.
We aren't boring, materialistic snobs, though. Rather, Capricorns take the approach that their wardrobe should be a reflection of themselves: no-nonsense, practical, and, above all, aspirational. If they were a brand, they would definitely be The Row, Khaite, or Toteme—classic, elevated, and meant to withstand the test of time.
As we step into the rest of 2025, take our stylish mode de vie, and let the Capricorn vibe wash over your closet. Below, I've curated elevated items that speak to the fashion nature of one of the chicest signs in the zodiac.
Highly functional yet still chic, this blazer screams Capricorn.
Much to no ones surprise, Bessette-Kennedy was a Capricorn. Just take a look at her beloved timeless handbag for an indication on what this sign values stylewise.
Don't walk—run. This cozy cashmere sweater is on sale at Uniqlo.
This slipper-loafer hybrid is perfect for your stylish Capricorn friend who's always on the go. Plus, being hardworking Earth signs, Capricorns enjoy the finer things in life, such as these four-figure shoes that influencers and editors are loving right now.
As the proud owner of this wrap coat and the most Capricorn person there is, I can say that it's worth every penny. It's structured and timeless, easily going with any outfit. You don't have to think too hard about styling this coat, so instead, you can focus on other things… like world domination.
Your Cap friend probably has a white button-down already, but this silk version feels even richer if they're looking to experiment with their style in 2025.
If Capricorn was one viral online aesthetic, it would definitely be office siren.
Those of this sign are homebodies at heart, and the fastest way to let someone know that you're a Capricorn is to tell them you have dedicated luxury-label house slippers.
Capricorns' fashion motto seems to be "buy it once and buy it well" given their commitment to thoughtful and practical yet expensive items. Nothing proves that more than this cozy Almina Concept cardigan that will stand the test of time.
A practical accessory that still looks and feels good is high up on every Capricorn's winter wish list.
Capricorns tend to wear the pants in a relationship. They need a chic belt to match.
Another beloved blazer that doubles as a chic security blanket for Capricorns' risk-averse nature.
Given Capricorns' knack for all things practical, this elegant outfit is already sold as a set for convenience.
Honestly, this looks three times the price, and if you know anything about Capricorns, they love expensive-looking outfits.
Classy, comfortable shoes that Capricorns can wear to the office and to a post-work networking happy hour. It's practically their fantasy.
Enter stage right, a bag Capricorn can put their entire life in. What's more practical than that?
While Capricorns aren't that uptight, they can definitely skew conservative and traditional with their fashion choices. Instead of wearing the sheer trend in the form of dresses and pants, they may choose to layer sheer elements under skirts and shorts with these viral tights that are resistant to snagging and pulling.
Alright, H&M—it's time to give your chic design team a raise. This is the fourth item I've seen this week alone that makes me want to buy everything from the brand. As a Capricorn, that's no easy feat.
A sweet little treat that makes them look like an elegant Upper East Side grandmother.
For being sticklers about the time, this watch is sure to be one of their most coveted pieces of 2025.
