Being a former fashion designer—and now working as a shopping editor—I’m just about everyone’s point of contact when it comes to advice on what’s worth buying and gifting for the holidays. Not only do I have great recommendations from my own experience, but I also have contacts in the shopping industry who can offer even more expert insight into gifts worth shopping for yourself and your loved ones.
I tapped Nordstrom’s fashion director, Rickie De Sole, whose role is to predict the hottest trends Nordstrom shoppers will be buying, and she told me her top six picks worth shopping. Gifts include head-turning Loewe sunglasses, Adidas sneakers, a Jo Malone gift set, and a cashmere blend sweater from Reformation.
6 Expert-Approved Holiday Gift Picks
Editor’s Pick: Reformation Clara Cashmere and Wool Crew Cardigan, $149 (Originally $198)
Best Designer Deal: Loewe Square Sunglasses, $252 (Originally $360)
Shoe Must-Have: Adidas Japan Low-Top Sneaker, $120
Everyday Essential: Marc Jacobs Leather Card Case, $75
Jo Malone London Wood Sage and Sea Salt Collection Set, $178
Loewe Square Sunglasses
Nordstrom
I agree wholeheartedly with De Sole’s Loewe sunglasses pick as a jaw-dropping gift for the fashion lover in your life. I think the chicest thing you can do is wear a pair of sunglasses during the winter (or at night if you’re feeling bold), and this bubble square frame is sure to be a conversation starter. They come in gray, and my personal favorite, tortoise, and they’re on sale for $108 off their original price.
Adidas Japan Low-Top Sneaker
Nordstrom
De Sole must have had me in mind when she added this pair of Adidas sneakers to her gifting list. Shop the low-top soccer shoe in five shades for the sneakerhead or Adidas-lover in your life. But hurry, colors are selling out fast.
Ettika Deco Cubic Zirconia Hoop Earrings
Nordstrom
When in doubt, jewelry is always a safe bet, and Nordstrom’s fashion director suggests these Cubic Zirconia Hoop Earrings from Ettika. They come in silver-tone or 18K-gold plating with crystal embed options of green, blue, and silver. They feature a hinge snap-post closure and have a high-polished finish.
Reformation Clara Cashmere and Wool Crew Cardigan
Nordstrom
As a former sweater designer, my favorite winter fashion gift to give is cashmere, and Nordstrom’s fashion director shares that sentiment. This premium-quality cashmere-wool blend cardigan from Reformation is on sale for 25 percent off, so it’s the perfect time to buy one for a loved one. It comes in a festive red, black, blue, and beige and features a scooped neckline and a cropped boxy fit.
Marc Jacobs Leather Card Case
Nordstrom
I feel like any time I see my friends pull out their wallets, they’re peeling and falling apart, so De Sole’s suggestion of this Marc Jacobs Leather Card Case might be well received as a gifting moment. It comes in six colors, including black, pink, red, green, and brown, and has four card slots with a center slip pocket.
Jo Malone London Wood Sage and Sea Salt Collection Set
Nordstrom
If you’re looking for a last-minute gift, Sole’s pick of Jo Malone’s London Wood Sage and Sea Salt Collection Set comes in an aesthetically festive box that doesn’t need to be wrapped. It features a fragrance, a body and hand wash, and a candle with a classic earthy scent.
