Here's What Fashion Editors Want For the Holidays This Year
All the Stylish Stuff Our Fashion Editors Are Asking For This Year
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
If you're shopping for someone extra stylish this season, you came to the right place. Right here we've rounded up all the items on our own holiday wish lists and, rest assured, we're all fashion people. There's nobody better to ask about the latest trends, the covetable designer collabs, and the biggest Instagram brands than a fashion editor. Here you'll find everything from vintage designer bags (that are basically one-of-a-kind and actually ring in at a fair price point), to pajamas and t-shirts — and those things are simple enough to shop for if you're browsing for someone else.
We do suggest requesting size information for the woman who loves clothes and shoes, because you'll really light up her life if you gift her something from those categories. That said, if you're less inclined to pick up something so personal, not to worry — there are jewellery, scarves, and bags included here too. Of course, we don't blame you at all for shopping for yourself ahead of the new year. You deserve it! Whether you're here to find an item that will make someone else happy or you're indulging in a little spree, we welcome you to our editors' must haves for December and highly recommend any of our selects.
