A Stylist’s Guide to the Very Best of the Gift Edits

We all understand as the receiver of gifts during the festive season, the thought, time and care that went into choosing those gifts. And we’re grateful. However, that doesn’t always mean we’re going to wear the scarf or carry the bag. Occasionally, despite their best intentions, our partners, closest friends and most cherished family members misread our personal style. Naturally, as the festive season approaches and we look to purchase gifts for others we're hoping to wow the recipient.

  

A few pages deep into gift guides, and with copious amounts of tabs open, a brain-fog can ensue that leaves us more bewildered than enlightened about the presents we should choose for the people we want to impress. We’ve enlisted the help of our resident stylist, Alex, to navigate our gift guides and pick out 10 pieces that couldn’t disappoint the most discerning of recipients. Here’s the crème de la crème of gifts this season to save you time (and money) on purchasing something that goes unused.

 

 

 THE MAIN EVENT: "The Moncler Gary Jacket is a special piece making the perfect present for anyone that likes turning heads while keeping warm over the Christmas period. This two-tone iteration of the classic down jacket features the quintessential Moncler nylon, water-resistant fabrication and down fill as well as the vintage branding which has been included throughout Moncler's latest designs." 

LUXURY ESSENTIALS: "The Dsquared2 Icon Baseball Cap is a great contemporary statement piece. Dsquared caps have become an iconic accessory over the past few years: this particular design features the popular ‘Icon’ branding. A perfect accessory to add to any casual outfit." 

 

ICONIC STYLE: "The Gucci Wool Cashmere Web Scarf needs little explanation as to why it makes a great gift: there's a reason gifting scarves is so popular for Christmas, and a Gucci one makes it all the more stylish. The wool and cashmere constructed scarf feature the classic green and red stripe; an iconic Gucci design as well as gold Bee embroidery. Perfect for those that seem to have everything."

CONTEMPORARY APPEAL: "We all know Burberry for their classic check, however, Ricardo Tisci has turned the brand on its head bringing his own designs and influence to the heritage house. The Burberry Lightweight Jacket features new ‘TB’ branding and is a subtle way to integrate the new monogram into your wardrobe."

 

SNEAKER CLUB: "There has been a buzz around the Christian Louboutin Spike Sock sneaker since it’s launch. Its key features are the neoprene spiked sock upper and the bulky running sole. These are perfect for any lover of luxury sneakers. "

 

 

 

SHOWSTOPPERS: "As, indeed, all Moncler jackets are, this Moncler Caille Coat is also a very special jacket and ensures the recipient will be kept warm on a Christmas morning walk. This jacket features a metallic gold silk blend construction and classic down fill." 

ELEGANT APPAREL: "Jewellery is always a good gift choice. The Isabel Marant New Leaves Necklace is a perfect piece of fashion jewellery to compliment most outfits with its simple, timeless design. Layer with other gold necklaces for a contemporary look." 

 

RUNWAY APPEAL: The Kenzo Flying Tiger Bag features a beautiful tapestry tiger print, which is an iconic design and a staple for Kenzo. The bag also features a crossbody strap to let you style it in a couple of different ways depending on your own personal style or whatever works with your outfit."

FINISHING TOUCHES: "Lastly and definitely not least, the Burberry Archive Check Scarf. This iconic scarf needs no introduction and is perfect to throw on with most outfits as well as keeping you warm with its super soft 100% cashmere construction."
