32 Fashion Gifts to Splurge on (for Yourself and Others)

This lip balm is so luscious that I only have to use a little bit of it, which is how I justify the price — it will last a lifetime! And the opulent Hermès packaging instantly cures my winter blues every time I whip it out.

Naturally, after staying the night at Nine Orchard, the elegant new hotel in Dimes Square, I stole the soap from the bathroom. It smells amazing, and it’s cheaper than a staycation.

Jewelry is something that you want to feel personal, and these earrings look like they could be a family heirloom. They also help people remember your name.

It’s not safe for Zoom (NSFZ), but someone could maybe get away with it.

The classic argyle print gets a cool update with the Marine Serre moon logo.

The winter oxfords by this New York–based brand are warm but not too warm, and they’ve got an extended hem that’s just right. They’re also made of soft, natural Merino wool in uniquely vibrant colors.

Toast is a brand that was born in Wales, so I trust it for a good, cozy sweater. This lush green brings to mind the landscape, and the silhouette is nice and roomy.

If you got them a Telfar last year, get them a Luar this year. They’ll be impressed.

Personally, I’d wear this with the candelabra headpiece that walked the same runway as these earrings, but I imagine that’d be hard to gift wrap.

The brand run by artist Dan Colen and Daphne Seybold does very cool workwear collaborations in addition to providing funds to nonprofit Sky High Farm in Hudson Valley. The latest is with Tremaine Emory, and it will make you hungry.

The adult version may be out of your budget, but you can give one to the coolest 5-year-old on the planet for less.

I suggest this as a gift every single year because I wear it every single day and it makes me feel like a million bucks.

I’m now a Muji turtleneck evangelist, but if you want to gift something more luxurious, I really like the cut of this Theory sweater, and it’s super-soft. Sometimes elevated practical gifts are the most appreciated.

Hat hair for curly people is really not cute. This one is warm and fuzzy, and it won’t crush those perfect ringlets.

Leset is a go-to for night-out styles that you want to wear for a night in, and the brand just launched elegant footwear to pair with your sleek black-satin hostess pants.

Make them salivate over this realistic-looking cookie and maybe they’ll change their mind and move back. (They also probably can’t get away with carrying such a bag anywhere else.)

I’ve wanted a pair of these boots ever since they walked the Marc Jacobs fall 2016 runway, and I can’t believe they’re finally back — and not sold out yet. So run, don’t walk, if you know someone with a similar obsession. (Although be careful if you’re wearing these.)

Everyone can appreciate a super-soft Alpaca scarf, but as a Taurus, or someone perpetually in search of peak coziness, I think if I swaddled myself in this one, which is designed to be wrapped multiple times, I might never take it off.

Look, North Face is great, but why not try a fun print for once?

This puffer will actually keep you warm, and it comes in a color no one else on the subway will have.

Two whimsical brands join forces for a truly delightful knitwear collaboration.

This “look-at-me” accessory has hidden zipper pockets that conveniently fit your phone so you can be hands-free.

Every “fashion person” I know has these and they always make me jealous. They’re certainly not part of the “ugly sneakers” trend, but they’re not boring, either.

Heart-shaped accessories are everywhere this season, and this ring is particularly sweet. I kind of want to eat it?

I appreciate how these are a little rough around the edges, like all relationships!

More hearts! If you buy this for them they will literally love you forever.

Sophie Buhai’s natural-looking pearl necklace was super trendy this year, but I like this one better for everyday wear. It’s still a timeless classic.

I’m pretty sure that if Carrie was mugged again she’d risk it all to try to keep these as well.

Good luck trying to find the trendiest coat of the season — and beware of fakes! But if you do, you’ll be the holiday hero.

Nothing says luxury like a pair of $970 shoes that are basically slippers.

The leather version of the classic Agnès B. snap cardigan is the holy grail for a certain set of downtown shoppers. The good news is that they only get better with age, so this gift thinks long-term.
