Tory Burch Sequined Fringe Dress

Holiday parties call for you to slip into your tried-and-true little black dress and throw on your favorite pair of heels. The LBD has rightfully become a staple in every wardrobe thanks to its endless versatility, but this season, why not give the classic an updated twist by buying one that plays with shape and texture to dazzling effect, like this one by Tory Burch?

Prada Canvas Jacket

Barn jackets are having a moment, believe it or not! From the English countryside to the streets of L.A., it seems people can’t get enough of this sturdy style of outwear. But then again, if they’re good enough for the royals, why wouldn’t the rest of us be equally obsessed with them? Plus, they strike a cool balance between practical and nonchalant, like this super chic option from Prada.

Brunello Cucinelli Dazzling Argyle Sweater Vest

Even though we have to pile on the layers this season, that doesn’t mean we can’t still look chic. This sleeveless argyle vest from Brunello Cucinelli will match any winter layer and features the brand’s iconic geometric pattern in a delicate sparkle of sequins. It’s a great gift for those on your shopping list who enjoy wearing the finer things in life.

Loro Piana Halle Skirt

Just because the leaves are falling from the trees during the wintertime doesn’t mean you can’t embrace florals. This woven thyme blue masterpiece from Loro Piana is rich enough to complement heavier fabrics while adding brightness and levity to heavier-looking winter outfits.

Celine Wool Fair Isle Scrunchie

This Celine wool scrunchie with a fair isle design is the fabulous finishing touch for any holiday outfit. Its rich texture works well with heavier fabrics, and the dainty gold logo adds a bit of the brand’s iconography and an air of elegance and sophistication. You can even wear it as a bracelet if you’re so inclined

Schiaparelli Trompe L’oeil Gloves

The wintery months mean wearing protective wear, like gloves and mittens, to shield one’s hands from the harsh elements, but that doesn’t mean one should sacrifice style to stay warm! These white elbow-length gloves from Schiaparelli will keep you covered and feature a witty red manicure motif that is the next best thing to going to the nail salon.

Burberry Check Cashmere Happy Scarf

There’s nothing we love more than a fun twist on a classic style and this fringed cashmere Burberry scarf checks off all the right boxes. This is the kind of winter accessory that is sure to get years’ worth of wear thanks to its undeniable charm.

Lafayette 148 Cashmere Silk Pom Scarf

Sometimes, all you want to do in the winter is wrap yourself up in a blanket and stay on the couch all day, but, alas, duty calls, and you have to venture outside. But that doesn’t mean you have to ditch the comfort of being all wrapped up. This pom scarf from Lafayette 148 can easily evoke the same sense of comfiness while looking way more chic.

Dior Nano Groove Bag

Y2K fashion is all the rage, and this denim Dior handbag perfectly encapsulates the cheekiness of the early aughts. Its playful take on the house’s Dior motif and stonewashed effect make it a must-have for the Carrie Bradshaw-coded friend on your shopping list.

McQueen Small Skull Bag

If you know anyone like me who’ll be watching Wicked more times than they’d care to admit in the coming weeks, then this emerald handbag from McQueen is for them. This green-hued number is made in luxe embossed leather and, for a bit of witchiness, features the house’s signature gold skull.

Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Bracelet

In case you haven’t heard or been on TikTok lately, Van Cleef & Arpels’ motif bracelets are trending in a big way. The all-time classic design has become a rarified status symbol amongst the stylish Gen-Z set and a no-brainer as an heirloom gift for arguably the hardest age group to buy for.

Pandora Infinite Lab-Grown Diamond Ring

Radiant rings should be worn on every occasion if you ask us, which is why they’re a no-brainer when thinking of the perfect gift for your loved ones. This blingy lab-grown diamond ring from Pandora has a modern infinity setting that flows seamlessly around the stone and will take center stage in your loved one’s jewelry box.

Citizen xC Watch

The holiday season means being constantly on the go from one festivity to the next so help your loved one keep track of time with a classic timepiece. This timeless style from Citizen takes technology to a luxurious level with a mixed gold and silver design and diamond accents all encased in sapphire crystal making this watch equal parts jewelry.

Jimmy Choo Ruby Red Velvet Sandals

Not every holiday purchase has to be for everyday wear. Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that are for a special moment in time, and these ruby red Jimmy Choo sandals will make any time they’re worn a memorable one. They are a fanciful choice of footwear for winter weddings, New Year’s parties, and beyond.

Fendi Brown Leather Low-Heeled Boots

No winter outfit is complete without a pair of knee-high boots. They look good in a knitted dress or over a pair of jeans, making them the perfect shoe to add to a loved one’s rotation. These Fendi square-toe boots may have a timeless feel, but their gold Fendi detailing gives them a luxe touch.

Hermés Hot Loafer

During the winter, it’s best to add a little spice to out looks of the day. So why not add a little heat to your loved one’s outfit with the ‘hot’ loafers from Hermès? The classic style goes with just about everything and the oversized Kelly buckle gives it a modern twist.
