Vintage inspirations meet contemporary elegance with SSI’s holiday picks
The holiday season also means one thing: shopping for gifts. While preparing your list may come easy, finding a present also means navigating through your giftees’ personal tastes and trends. This year, vintage styles and archive items are still prominent, even on the red carpet, with celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Demi Moore, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rihanna showcasing pieces that tell stories and evoke cherished memories.
Inspired by the allure of vintage style, here are some gift ideas that capture this nostalgic charm for the special people in your life:
The best friend who loves to dress up
For the best friend who loves dressing up for dinner dates or social events, the Jessica Fancy Tweed Jacket and Sequin Lace Dress offer a romantic, feminine look in a versatile neutral palette. Pair the jacket over the dress for a chic layered effect, or mix and match with modern separates. Add a pop of color with the Banana Republic Copper Velvet Midi, evoking 1930s luxury, ideal for holiday gatherings.
For a playful twist, the Gap x Disney Denim Bomber Jacket brings nostalgic charm; pair it with jeans for casual weekends. The Old Navy SoSoft Graphic Sweater, with its relaxed fit and cheerful “Peace” graphic, is ideal for cozy outings. For an edgy touch, the Armani Exchange Denim Jacket offers structured elegance with a vintage-inspired flair.
For the refined man in your life
For a sleek essential for daily use, the Zegna Black Leather Card Case can be useful for your brother or dad with their on-the-go work lifestyle. They can pair it with the Kenneth Cole Clean Placket Shacket, with its subtle texture and comfortable stretch that can also seamlessly transition from the office to weekend excursions.
For a smart-casual look, pair the Boggi High-Performance Piqué Shirt with lightweight trousers, or layer the Calvin Klein Monogram Logo T-shirt under a blazer with relaxed denim.
For moms who love to accessorize
Punctuate looks with accessories that are timeless. Your mother can layer the Swarovski Hyperbola Pendant over a soft cashmere sweater for brunch with friends or pair it with matching earrings for a formal evening event.
For a sophisticated statement, the Charriol St. Tropez Navigator Cruise Watch and the Swarovski Matrix Tennis Bracelet combines rose gold accents and diamond markers with Swiss precision are ideal for transitioning from a daytime outing to an evening gathering ideal for special occasions or adding refined polish to her everyday ensemble.
