Looking for some last minute gift ideas that will slip easily into an Xmas stocking, or the perfect festive season present for a fashionable female friend? Take a look at a few gift suggestions that take into account current Winter 2019 trends, and what's more — they won't break the bank!
Headbands
Once the domain of schoolgirls everywhere, headbands have had a serious style makeover and are de-rigueur for Winter 2019. The perfect quirky gift for fashion-conscious 20, 30 or even 40-somethings, this season’s eyecatching hair accessories are a grown-up alternative to jewelry. Great for jazzing-up a simple day dress or to make a woman the belle of the ball at this year’s New Year’s Eve party. Be it bows, bunny ears or blooms, one fashion tip to achieve the latest runway look in headbands is to wear it pushed slightly forward.
Trendy Women's Tights
Legs are the center of attention for Winter 2019, adorned with colorful tights and statement fishnets. Patterned hoisery with spots, stripes, paisely and animal prints make great Christmas stocking fillers but are not for the faint-hearted.
Long Gloves
A touch of 40s glamour with this season’s long elbow-length gloves in leather or suede is a twist on the traditional Xmas glove giving. For extra style points, break with neutral colors such as black or brown and go for eyecatching on-trend hues of purple, blue or red which will add a pop of color to a winter outfit.
Snoods
When is a scarf not a scarf – when it’s a snood! Snoods replace the scarf in terms of trendability for Winter 2019 and up-to-the minute practical gift. A snood is a continuous piece of knitwear which can around the neck line a color or over the head as a hood, to keep out the winter chills.
Pashmina Shawls and Scarfs
Not to be compared with a humble knitted scarf, a pashmina is far more versatile. This large square of material (often cashmere, wool or silk) can be worn in many different ways and looks stylish on women of any age
Although the fashion world suffered an overdose of so-called “pashminas” in the early ‘90s, they have re-emerged as one of the most practical pieces in a woman’s wardrobe, not least because of their timelessness and versatility. In addition to doing double duty as a shawl or scarf they provide they are perfect for making an outfit look glamorous or for covering up flabby arms.
Style Guides for the Over 40s
A few tips and tricks from a personal stylist or fashion maven can go a long way to making a woman feel better about herself and more confident with what she wears. A number of fashion books have recently come on the market targeted at the more mature woman. A style guide makes a great Christmas gift for those mum’s and grandmother’s who feel they are in a fashion rut and want to look more stylish. Books like Twiggy's Guide to Looking and Feeling Fabulous Over 40 and Color Me Younger provide helpful advice on dressing to suit your body shape and overcoming the frump factor. Both books also offer beauty and fashion tips on looking and dressing younger.
Whether its some brightly colored tights for a 20-something, a fashionable snood for a 30-something, a pashmina scarf for a stylish lady of any age or some elegant elbow-length gloves; these Christmas gifts are bang-on-trend as well as being practical, and they won't cost the earth!
