The best fashion gifts to give this Christmas for every stylish woman in your life.
The countdown is officially on to Christmas. We can say that right? It’s November and the John Lewis advert is now out. And as we settle into the second national lockdown, it’s fair to say we all need something to look forward to. Thankfully those twinkling Christmas lights are shining a little bit brighter than usual this year, luring us into the festive spirit and boosting our moods.
You might not be putting up the tree yet (no judgement here if you are) and the verdict is still out on whether we can watch Elf this evening, but we are thinking about what we want for Christmas and seeking inspiration for what to gift our nearest and dearest. Because let’s face it, we all deserve a bit of a treat.
We have relied heavily upon fashion this year to see us through some of our most emotional moments. A comforting loungewear set when we needed to feel swaddled, a new pair of trainers when we needed some get-up-and-go and a new dress for a hit of sartorial serotonin. For Christmas, we are looking to fashion once more, this time to be a reason for celebration.
With retail stores closed for the coming weeks, we turn once more online where options are endless, Overwhelming, even. So, we have done the hard work for you – with a roundup of the most stylish Christmas gifts for every budget and for every taste.
From loungewear essentials to cosy knits, statement coats to stocking filler accessories, consider this your guide to the most fashionable Christmas.
