Embroidered sequin dress, Prada
When it comes to festive dressing, the more sparkle the better. This number from Prada fits the bill perfectly, with top-to-bottom silver sequin embroidery (every one is implausibly hand-stitched) and cute tie-up ribbon straps. If you’re feeling extra generous, wrap this one up to be opened pre-Christmas, just in time for the raucous holiday parties.
-
Rhys jacket, Adam Lippes
The ‘70s are back and suede is hot. New York-born label Adam Lippes offers a fresh take on the classic jacket with a cropped, curved hem and fantastic oversized sleeves. The chocolatey brown leather is especially delicious next to the egg-shaped brushed gold buttons. A classic in the making.
-
Lieke ski suit, Goldbergh
The line between chic and garish is especially fine when it comes to ski-wear. Fortunately, Goldbergh’s Lieke suit, with its faux fur body, sleeve and collar, is very firmly in the former category. Performance-driven as well as stylish, the suit is waterproof and windproof, breathable and stretchy. It comes in a caramel brown or a white, but the sleek black option gets our vote.
-
Check bouclé scarf, Burberry
You might have seen the kids in their skinny scarves this winter, but trust us when we say a big, comforting (read: actually warm) scarf will never go out of style. This year’s pick comes courtesy of Burberry, whose classic check pattern is reimagined in a creamy colorway. The soft bouclé is made from an alpaca-wool blend for extra warmth.
-
Ondine robe, Eres
Crafted from a super-soft blue-gray satin-silk blend and trimmed with delicate lace, the Eres Ondine robe adds a new level of style to loungewear. There are mix-and-match accompanying nightwear pieces (including a camisole, bra, shorts and trousers), but this robe is so pretty that you might find your giftee wearing it out of the house more often than you’d think.
-
Sunglasses, Saint Laurent
As at home on the slopes as they are on the shore of Antibes or the streets of NYC, Saint Laurent’s geometric sunglasses are the ultimate all-rounder. The light lenses offer 100 percent UVA/UVB protection and the unisex design – with a retro-style metal bridge – makes sharing easier. A subtle engraved logo at the temple nods to understated design.
-
Buckled suede boot, Chloé
If one brand embodies boho chic, it is Chloé – and the Dakota boots are no exception. From the A/W 25 collection, the boots are inspired classic biker styles, with brown suede offering a softer edge. The silver C hardware is a tell-tale brand signature. A modern classic, expect these boots to be pulled out of the closet winter after winter (and even the odd summer).
-
Cate bag, Khaite
Leopard print is everywhere, but zebra remains for the stylish few. Khaite gives the print a more refined feel in the form of its triangle-esque (but still delicate) top-handle Cate bag, with gently brushed hair-on calfskin. For that added touch of luxe, the kiss-lock closure is plated in 18-karat gold. Even the most strict of minimalists will bend the rules for this piece.
-
Spherical heel sandal, Ferragamo
When it comes to creative footwear, it has to be Ferragamo. This Christmas, gift the Ferragamo sandal heels. With stacked golden spheres in place of the standard heel and a cluster of disco ball-esque baubles on the strap, they’re fun enough to turn heads but not so wild as to cause whispers: perfect.
-
Marlo 12 bag, The Row
Walk the streets of New York, scroll Instagram or flick the pages of any glossy fashion mag, and you’ll see the it-girls and the A-listers with one seemingly understated tote-style bag draped over their arm. The culprit? The Row’s Marlo 12 bag. A cult classic in the making (already made, some say), the bag responds to an era of hardworking women who need their wardrobe to work hard and look good.
-
Serpent pouch, Bulgari
And finally, a showstopper, a piece that could be as at home in our jewelry gift guide as in our fashion list: Bulgari’s 24-carat gold-treated crocodile skin clutch. Released for the brand’s 50th anniversary, the limited edition piece is inspired by Bulgari’s jewelry making legacy. Its signature serpentine – plated in 24-carat gold and dotted with crimson enamel eyes – winds its way around the bag’s closure.
