Women’s Clothes

Instead of dreading shopping for that female fashionista on your list this holiday season, aim to have some fun by familiarizing yourself with the multitude of gifts to give this year. Here are a few tips and hints that will make your gift giving shopping easier no matter if you’re shopping for your sister, daughter, mother, friend, girlfriend, cousin or aunt.

These are some clothing gift ideas that will cement any outfit:

• Blouses
• Shorts
• Sweaters
• Jackets
• Handbags
• Blouses

This season color is all the rage. Not only are solid, bright colors riveting, but so are pastels, polka dots and plaids. Both wool and cotton are the preferred cold weather fabric while chiffon and silk are reached for in the warmer climates. Printed sleeveless and short sleeved blouses are the perfect accompaniment to any fashion ensemble.

Shorts

No longer are shorts confined to the weekend attire rotation. Shorts, in all lengths (short-short, above the knee and Capri) have made their way into the mainstream fashion world. Triple-pleated shorts are best suited for business attire, while the longer ‘skort’ in free-flowing pastel colors are perfect for the leisure wearer. Not only for day use, these shorts are designed to be worn in the office and out on the town.

Sweaters

Light weight matched printed coordinates serve the function of keeping one warm as well as keeping one stylish. Paired with various types of textures, both leather and silk, jean or cotton slacks are the calling card to this style of fashion; the pairing of many differing textures. Whether a big bulky knit sweater with a tweed pencil skirt or a thick floral printed sweater with straight legged jeans with flats, sweaters will always make the perfect holiday gift.

Jackets & Bags

Not considered a fashion accessory, a woman’s purse and jacket say many things concerning her character and own personal sense of style. This year, the smaller bags with various lengths of straps and handles, as well as clutches are the rage in fashion circles. Patent leather and leather are the preferred materials for bags and clutches. Be it beaded or leather, various handles or straps, the handbag says it all.

Jackets are more articulated and fitted than ever before. Complimenting colors in shirts, skirts or slacks, are presented elegantly in a scalloped collared jacket, or the lightweight epaulette jacket carefully designed for spring and summer weather.

Don’t Forget the Shoes

With more muted colors springing up in scarves, as well as in matching jewelry accessories as well as belts, shoes pull the look all together. While strappy sandals are always in fashion, as are the patent leather pump, color has found its way to the heels of the everyday woman. From the two toned suede wedge, to the three-quarter inch pump to the ballerina flat shoe, color is the key. The fascination of shoes for women clearly centers on splashes of color that can really anchor an outfit.
