by Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s time to start ticking off those gifts for the locals.
It’s usually the same problem year after year: what do I get someone that I know they’ll love and want to keep for years to come? If you’re buying for someone who loves fashion above all else, it can be difficult to know how to nail their aesthetic with a gift, but we’re here to help.
When choosing a gift for someone who really knows their stuff, their cuts and their labels, the key is to go for quality over quantity. You can then opt for something timeless or inject a bit of fun into their wardrobe – perhaps something they would never buy for themselves but would be delighted to get out of on Christmas morning.
Ahead of the big day, we scoured the shops to bring you the ultimate fashion wish list, filled with pieces any fashionista will be delighted to find under the Christmas tree. From small totes to larger gifts designed to get you going, you’ll find everything from classic capsule accessories to designer bags, not-too-soft knitwear to party season gifts.
Scroll down for our edit of the 15 best fashion gifts to buy for Christmas 2022. The only problem you should have is choosing just one.
