Christmas present shopping for all the different types of people in your life can get tricky (after all, there are only so many mugs to go around). Things get a whole lot easier, though, when you start dividing people into categories. There’s the hobby-oriented mate who would love a new knitting pattern or set of paints; the sporty pal who’ll massively appreciate a new yoga mat or super supportive sports bra; and the fashion friend, who’ll love anything they can slip into and stunt in.
Finding something that caters to a fashionista’s taste can be stressful for the gift-giver but we’re here to show you that shopping for stylish friends couldn’t be easier. First of all, think about what they already own. Then it’s all about picking something that feels authentically them. Whether that means over-the-top and sparkly or understated and chic, buying clothes, accessories and shoes for others can be fun, we promise.
If you still can’t find anything that takes your fancy, why not opt for a fashion-themed gift? From books about legendary designers to exhibitions tailor-made for clothes obsessives, there are so many options outside the realm of outfits. To take a look at all the amazing pieces we think will make the fashion lover in your life jump for joy, click through the slideshow ahead…
