29 Best Gifts for Fashionistas Who Have Great Taste

Every fashionista has a favorite Vogue cover, and this book holds over a century of them. It's the easiest fashion book to give because it works on a coffee table, and they will spend an evening flipping through it looking for theirs.

For the fashionista who knows exactly what they like but can't always name it: bishop sleeve, peplum, welt pocket. Fashion students swear by it, and it's a smart gift for anyone thinking about design school.

An A to Z that runs from Azzedine Alaïa to Yohji Yamamoto, with one defining image per name. Perfect for the friend who likes to drop designer references and wants the background behind them.

Give this to someone who has stood outside the Paris boutique, or dreams of it. The photographs of salons and ateliers show the house behind the New Look, making it a lovely gift for a couture devotee.

The tweed jacket, the 2.55 bag, the little black dress: this book tells the story behind the pieces a classic dresser already admires. A good pick for the fashionista whose style leans polished rather than trendy.

Street-style lovers will know Bill Cunningham's bicycle and blue jacket. His memoir of making hats and chasing fashion in 1950s New York is charming, quick to read and a reminder that great style is about joy more than money.

If they doodle outfits in the margins of everything, this removes the hardest part: drawing the body. The printed croquis let them focus on silhouettes and color, and the heavy paper handles markers well.

Megan Hess draws Paris as a fashion lover sees it: ateliers, grand hotels and the best boutiques. It's an inspiring gift ahead of a Paris trip, or a consolation for a fashionista who hasn't made it there yet.

Outfit-of-the-day photos look better on Polaroid film, and they pin straight onto a mood board. The autofocus and self-timer make solo mirror and full-length shots easy, and the bundle includes film to start.

Small enough to stack with other earrings, bright enough to dress up a plain tee. Designer jewelry is a safe bet for a fashionista when it's this understated, and these arrive gift-ready from Kate Spade.

Fine gold hoops are the jewelry most fashionistas wear daily, and they always end up losing one. Three sizes in one set let them switch between work and evening looks.

An inexpensive way to give the layered-chain look without guessing what fine jewelry they'd like. A teen or college fashionista will love the trio straight out of the box.

Someone who accessorizes seriously needs to see everything at once when getting dressed. The clear lid and 24 compartments make picking earrings part of the outfit rather than a hunt through a tangled dish.

Fashionistas pack outfits with matching jewelry, and nothing ruins that like a knotted chain. This soft case keeps everything separate in a suitcase or handbag, and it makes a good stocking stuffer.

This lets them carry the tiny evening bag they actually want to carry, because cards and ID now ride on the back of the phone. The chalk pink saffiano looks luxe for under $40.

Belt bags are now a styling staple: worn across the chest over a blazer or at the waist with jeans. This one is real cowhide, so it looks far smarter than a nylon fanny pack on a city day out.

A silk square is the fashionista's multi-tool: neck scarf, headband, hair wrap or handbag ribbon. Real mulberry silk at this price lets them experiment without worrying about a designer label.

The one piece a stylish traveler packs on every flight: a scarf in the terminal, a blanket on the plane and a shawl at dinner. The cashmere-wool blend is soft yet sturdy enough for years of use.

Claw clips have become a styling accessory in their own right, and fashionistas lose them constantly. Twelve clips in three styles cover a casual twist up to a neat updo, and it all costs less than one designer clip.

Slip scrunchies are a small luxury that fashion and beauty editors wear everywhere. The silk avoids the dent an elastic leaves, so their hair still looks styled after a workday ponytail.

This is the gift a fashionista would never buy for themself and then never travel without. The 22 momme silk is kind to skin and lash extensions, and it looks good enough for a first-class photo op.

Anyone who spends time on blowouts will appreciate waking up with less frizz and fewer creases. A two-pack at this price is an easy introduction to silk bedding.

Perfume is too personal to guess at, so let them test a dozen designer scents instead. Great for the fashionista looking for a signature fragrance to match their style.

Jo Malone's best-known scent is fresh, unisex and easy to like, so it's the safest full-size fragrance to give. Fashion lovers appreciate that it's designed to layer with other scents.

For the fashionista whose home looks styled, the big porcelain Diptyque jar is a statement piece. The soft rose scent fills a room, and the empty jar later becomes a vase or brush holder on the vanity.

Steaming is how stylists prep silk blouses and wool trousers without shine or scorch marks. This handheld model heats up quickly, so a creased outfit is ready to wear in minutes, at home or in a hotel room.

Pilling is the main enemy of a good knit. Steamery's design-forward shaver removes it fast, so the cashmere they invested in looks new again, and it looks nice sitting on a closet shelf too.

Matching slim hangers make any closet look like a boutique rack and fit more clothes. The velvet grip stops silk camisoles from sliding to the floor.

Fashionistas rarely own one pair of sunglasses. These clear stacking drawers hold fifteen and turn the collection into a display on a dresser or closet shelf.
