It’s officially that time of the year again. With Christmas and New Year’s right round the corner, the season of celebrating and giving has commenced. However, buying the right gift has never been an easy task. And when it comes to shopping for the style-savvy women in your life, the challenge seems to be tenfold. Having a good grasp of their personal style and taking into consideration their varying personalities might go a long way in helping you make an informed purchase.
With endless options to choose from, narrowing things down certainly sounds like an arduous challenge. Here’s where we come in. Featuring a curated list from five distinct categories, here are the best fashion items by Vogue Singapore to gift the modish women in your life.
Statement offerings
For the maximalists in your life, consider sartorial pieces that are emblazoned with busy prints and embellishments. A scarf from Dior in white and gold silk twill is the perfect accessory to top off any look, while the Gucci Ophidia tote bag will serve as a surefire conversation starter for any occasion. And if budget is not a restriction, gifting a Louis Vuitton Keepall duffle or a Fendi monogrammed blazer will seal the deal.
Stylish travel essentials
With many travelling during the end of year, chances are there will be loved ones in need of an update in this department of their wardrobe. Think: a wool jacquard beanie in festive shades and a functional pair of gloves in an addictive seafoam green that can withstand the coldest of temperatures. To round up the category, a leather lagguage tag and passport cover make suitable gifts for just about anybody.
Elevated staples
When it comes to those with a penchant for simplicity and subtlety, neutral staples that balance timelessness and elegance are key. Look for pieces that are made to last and in versatile silhouettes that are easy to incorporate into any wardrobe. With The Row and Loro Piana leading the quiet luxury charge, peruse their offerings for fail-safe choices. For something that is a little more wallet-friendly, quality basics from Lemaire or COS are also worth exploring.
A fashion-fluent option
Perhaps the toughest crowd to impress, these tasteful flock are extremely considered when it comes to what they let in and out of their rotation. Each purchase is filled with intention, and their ensembles often boast pieces that are at the heart of the fashion zeitgeist. Below, peruse a chic oversized brooch from Saint Laurent, a metallic gold Sardine bag or even a blood-red pair of Prada slingback pumps.
Indie labels
For the compulsive shoppers, predictability and ubiquity is something to avoid. The Vogue solution? Support the burgeoning pool of newer and smaller labels worldwide. These indie labels tend to offer really fun and playful garments and accessories, and their unique—sometimes bordering on kitschy—twist on conventional designs are bound to impress.
