Believe it or not, the holiday season is almost here, which means it's time to start thinking about—and buying—gifts. Yes, this should be happening now, before December, if you want to put real thought into your presents and find the best items. While you probably have all kinds of people and personalities on your holiday list, today we're focusing on gifts for the fashion person or the individual who aspires to look like one. So let's get into it.
One thing you should know about me is that I am not only a very picky shopper and gift giver, but I am also very selective about the products I include in my gift guides, especially those related to fashion. As a fashion editor, I won't settle for pieces that are merely safe or nice to open; I focus on finding those that will inspire a jaw-dropping reaction and, when worn, make anyone feel inherently stylish. So when I tell you that the 39 items you're about to see here are guaranteed winners, you can trust me.
Ask any fashion editor, celebrity, or insider, and they'll confirm that there are several luxury items they're giving and secretly hoping to receive as gifts this year. Whether it's The Row ballet flats that Kendall Jenner wears, at least once a week, Róhe's leather jacket that suddenly everyone owns, or the everyday two-tone watch that chic dressers are manifesting for themselves, look no further than the ultimate curation of luxury gifts that insiders are giving (and receiving) this holiday season.
Fashion people like Kendall Jenner and Arielle Charnas keep wearing these flats, declaring them one of the hottest shoes of 2025.
This duffel-style bag can take you from the airport to meetings.
After Zoë Kravitz wore Kallmeyer's Eloise minidress in a custom pink shade, the fashion world buzzed with excitement as people eagerly sought to get their hands on it. Days later, Reformation released an alternative satin style, and now, for the holiday season, it's just launched this elegant velvet silhouette.
If there's one watch style that defined 2025, it's the gold cocktail watch, just like this one. Trust us—once everyone sees it on the lucky person on your gifting list, they'll be saying, "Wow, did you see the new watch on so-and-so?"
If fashion insiders are buying new shoes this season, they're either pony hair flats or croc-embossed heels like these.
There's not a single editor at Who What Wear who doesn't have this sweater on their wish list.
While a skirt might not be the first gift you think of for holidays, if you're shopping for someone who loves fashion, that person would surely appreciate a leather pencil skirt to pair with a crewneck sweater or a fitted blazer.

Nothing says "I keep up with what's in" like owning a By Malene Birger cape.
Wear this as a long pendant necklace or use the adjustable leather cord to turn it into a choker.
These new Uggs are what everyone in L.A. is wearing. Kaia Gerber just wore the chestnut version, and while you can't go wrong with those, I recommend the chocolate-brown hue because they're different from what everyone else will soon have and look a lot more expensive.
This leather jacket has suddenly become an It item thanks to Jennifer Lawrence and NYC fashion content creators.
The combination of crocodile leather and the mixed-metal buckle is unlike anything I've seen before. So chic.
For someone just starting their watch journey and looking for something discreet yet incredibly chic, this is their best bet. It balances luxury with everyday ease and can be worn whether heading into the office or dressing up your Sunday coffee-date outfit.
Toteme's viral scarf jacket now comes in this stunning fringe iteration.
In September, Nili Lotan launched its first bag collection, and ever since, I've been noticing people on TikTok and Instagram talking about the Jerry clutch and how it's their favorite from the line. I'd say the same.
It's giving Saint Laurent but is half the price.
I've been looking for a stylish cold-weather accessory to add a unique touch to my black wool jackets and puffer coats—this is it.
Prada has launched these new sporty sneakers, drawing inspiration from the Montecarlo style that debuted in 2005 as part of the Linea Rossa Collection.
This hairpin is a piece of art. It will elevate any holiday look.
Parisian-born fashion designer Talia Loubaton knows what an It girl wants to wear for special occasions.
This luxurious brush is the kind of gift you never realize you need but are so glad to receive.
This jacket was seen in the brand's fall 2025 runway show. It can be styled with the matching skirt, but for something more casual, go for high-waist jeans.
Style with straight-leg jeans or maxi skirts.
What do you give the fashion girl who has everything? Simple: A designer mirror and chic leather case that she can slip into any of her purses.
Every insider knows that you can wear the chicest outfit, but without glowy, radiant skin, it won't matter.
While fashion people are still wearing ACNE Studios' chunky check-print scarves, I prefer this hooded one because it gives anyone an effortlessly cool Scandi-girl look.
You can't go wrong with any of Agnelle's leather gloves, but I especially love this fringe version.

Style with the matching Pointelle-Knit Cotton Cardigan ($120).

It's been a while since everyone was wearing the same designer sunglasses. Dare I say these might be next?
If you've come this far and are still unsure what to give, why not consider a wallet? This Toteme one is guaranteed to please because every fashion person loves the brand's T-Lock collection.
Bury me in this satin coat. The color, the length, the neckline—perfect.
The fashion person who doesn't already own a Julietta necklace is definitely asking for one for Christmas.
Forget CVS scrunchies—this Jennifer Behr tassel-adorned one will elevate every outfit you put together.
Carry this bag as a clutch or use the adjustable straps to wear it in three additional ways.
Between the sophisticated structure and luxurious satin, this blazer is probably on every fashion person's wish list.
Remember the Bottega Veneta drop earrings that every celebrity wore and immediately sold out? Well, I'm predicting that something from the brand's new marble jewelry collection will be next.
