A good gift for someone stylish is something they will actually wear. A piece of jewellery they put on without thinking and a bag they carry every day are the same care for how they look and not the same gift, so the useful present is the one that fits how they already dress. Think a thing they will reach for, not a trend they have never worn.
What someone stylish really wants
Stylish people have a look, and a gift that fights it stays in the drawer. When you are unsure of their taste, pick something classic in a colour they already wear.
Sizes are the hardest part of a fashion gift, so the safest choices don't need one: a watch, sunglasses, a wallet, a bag or jewellery. If you do buy clothing, check the brand's size chart against something they already wear, and keep the receipt. Look at the metals they wear, gold or silver, and whether their style is sporty, classic or bold, and match it rather than guessing a new look for them.
Before you choose, ask yourself
- What do they wear most weeks?
- A watch, sunglasses or a bag?
- Classic or bold?

Jewellery
