What to put under the tree: The most fashionable things of winter

New Year is an excellent opportunity to give a dear person what he had long wanted, but did not dare to buy himself. Even if this person is yourself, it's time to fulfill long-delayed desires. Before the holidays, all the shops somehow remind us that the New Year is near, which means that it's time to decide on a gift of a dream. We chose ten fashionable things that will decorate the wardrobe and will be useful this winter.

Treads

The main shoe hit of the season is, of course, boots, which we wrote about more than once. This shoe has lost all conflicting connotations from the past, so now even those who prefer discreet or neutral things are wearing them. Not the best idea for winter ice, but they remain in the list of trends for the seasons ahead and will be relevant for a long time. Many brands - from mass-market to "heavy luxury" - have released low-heeled models, muted colors, suede and matte leather. They are worn with elegant A-silhouette dresses, and with huge hoodie. The main thing to remember is that this is a very characteristic pair of shoes. If the person to whom you are going to make such a gift has never let slip about him and prefers sneakers or trekking boots, it is better to opt for something else.

Characteristic decoration

If you want to give a piece of jewelry that matches the spirit of the times, we advise you to look at leading brands like Ambush Japanese, whose fad are flashy and unusual models with subcultural overtones. Her creators of the rap singer Verbal and his wife Yoon create bracelets, necklaces and earrings that will suit everyone, regardless of gender. Among the fans of the brand are the main pop stars of our time, Rihanna and Kanye West. If your girlfriend or friend prefer things in a sporty style and love street culture, then they will surely be delighted. In order not to make a hole in your wallet, you can search for an analogue in the mass market. In Russian brands, however, you should rather pay attention to minimalist jewelry: thin rings, barely noticeable drop-earrings and chains.

Voluminous down jacket

We have already repeatedly confessed our love to a loose down jacket as the main outerwear of this winter. No wonder that this trend in our latitudes overtook all the others. You can buy a down jacket now and in the mass market, and in specialized sports shops, and from expensive brands. It is designed for an unpredictable winter: T-shirts can be worn under the plus temperature, and worn with thick woolen sweaters in the negative. In addition, a down jacket can be effectively presented: surely the giant box under the Christmas tree will intrigue everyone.

Cat accessory

Cats are especially fond of designers this season. At first, they sneaked in prints on sweaters and dresses, and a little later they began to make bags, trinkets and huge jewelry in the form of cats. This is a bright and not necessarily infantile accent of any image: for example, a Loewe key chain can instantly transform a bag or a backpack. If in the wardrobe of the one to whom you want to make this gift, a whole collection of bags, then an unusual model in the form of a cat definitely will not hurt.

Hairpins

In the New Year, you can afford to look especially luxurious - the tendency for a huge number of hairpins with stones as if specially created for this holiday. If you present one as a gift on New Year's Eve, you can immediately make a high hair with it. Fortunately, such hairpins are combined with velvet dresses, and with ordinary shirts and straight trousers. In the image with such accessories it is important to observe a balance: to the best of stones, to the best of intricate figures. We also advise you to look for a gift among vintage jewelry - so it will be especially valuable.

Alexander McQueen

€295

Velvet dress

There is a special demand for velvet items during the cold season - in spring and summer, one often wants to wear lighter fabrics both by touch and by sight. The trend for velvet things is traditional for this time of year and will be relevant in a year or two. A simple combination dress will surely appeal to those who have not yet decided what to celebrate the main holiday of the year and go to the theater on holidays. Be careful not to make a mistake with the size - it is better to know in advance the exact brand from which you intend to buy a gift. You can wear it by itself, and with a T-shirt or turtleneck.

Mango

2999 rub.

Leopard fur coat

The leopard print is again at the peak of its popularity - belt bags, caps, and strict midi skirts are made from it. But the thing with such a print that threatens to remain an eternal classic is a voluminous fur coat or a coat of faux fur. Such outerwear will never be superfluous in the wardrobe: in it you can go on a trip in the cold season and wear without problems at the cottage or in the office.

Topshop

£89

Gold or silver all

The entire 2016 was marked by the return of sequins and glitter - all thanks to the rethinking of the 80s. A fabric that looks like a thin candy wrapper seems to stay with us for a long time. Golden and silver colors in clothes are suitable not only for parties, but also for everyday dresses that need an accent. Metallized items are easily combined with clothes of other texture - for example, made of silk or wool. A silver skirt with pleating can be the basis of any image, as it looks great with sneakers and with strict shoes. Cheap analogues are easy to find in any mass market.

Isabel Marant Étoile

€320

Corset

Corset - another item of clothing, the return of which happened unexpectedly. Its function has changed dramatically: there is no deformation of the figure and a weighting of speech, and the décor for the 2000s, like rhinestones or laces, is also a thing of the past. The corset is no longer worn over a naked body, more often with regular T-shirts, or, like at the Prada show, with shirts and a coat. A luxurious wide belt or corset made of velvet, leather or cotton is a gift for those who have long wanted to try to adapt an unusual thing to their wardrobe, but could not decide to buy it themselves.

Prada

£682

Unusual Sneakers

Limited sneakers are a gift that will not only delight sneakerhead. Getting them, however, will not be easy: in order to redeem the pair you like, you will most often need to register in the online store in advance, stand in a queue or try to win the opportunity to purchase in the lottery. However, if the budget is unlimited, eBay will come to the rescue.

One of the possible options is the updated Nike Air Max 97. When they were created, designer Christian Tressen was inspired by the Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train, which affected the streamlined shape of the sneakers. They seem to be cast from a piece of metal and resemble a spacecraft - the model is made in the spirit of the ideas of the 90s about the future. The release is scheduled for December 14 in Europe, so you can try your luck in online stores.
