Even if you’re not wrapped up in horoscopes, you probably know something about zodiac signs because everyone talks about them today. As a proud cancer, I have excused my personality plenty of times as a result of my zodiac sign.

More than individual signs, all zodiacs are grouped into four elements: Earth, air, fire, and water. There are a thousand traits and personalities in between, but each sign is influenced by its element. For water signs, which includes cancers, scorpios, and pisces, there is a deep intelligence and general grace like waves of water. There is also a certain level of emotional awareness, both through empathy with others and being in tune with yourself.

The beautiful thing about zodiac signs is they can be affirming of your identity and personality. And fashion is just like that. You can put something on your body to represent your inner self as you share your external self with the world.

From shoes to jackets, watches, and more, these pieces are an ode to intelligence, being emotionally in tune, and the way water flows. From a cancer's emotional connectedness to a scorpio's profundity, these pieces complement water signs through their blue color, sustainable elements, and more. Below, 23 pieces that speak to the essence of water signs.
