Everyone On Your Gift List Deserves A Holiday Pick-Me-Up — Here Are 21 Cozy Options
The holiday season is always about celebrating and spreading joy, but this year, the notion resonates that much more. While it’s not always an easy task holiday shopping for your entire list, in terms of clothing, many will probably agree this year (for once): cozy fashion gifts are the way to go. When gifting clothing or accessories, checking off the practicality box ensures they'll get a ton of wear out of their new piece. Between 40-degree weather and a new WFH normal, anything they can cozy into both in and outside of the house will make for an instant hit.
“Everyone deserves a little bit of TLC this year, and we can all appreciate the importance of comfy at-home moments,” Jaclyn Jones, Founder and Designer of small batch footwear brand Californians tells TZR. The label is inspired by the effortlessly cool style native to sunny California, but it's laying heavy on the shearling for the season. “With fashionable slippers making their way into streetwear and everyday fashion,” Jones says, “it's clear that comfort is the top trend of 2020.”
Like shearling, cashmere is another cozy fabric choice that often translates to a timeless item they’ll never want to take off. This year, the market boasts options that feel fresh and trend-centric, but not so much so that your gift won’t remain in your loved one's rotation for years to come. Everlane carries a few cashmere options at an entry-level price point, while Khaite has been famed for its luxurious cashmere offerings alongside its cult-favorite knit selection. As consumers dive into comfort-first fabric iterations of their favorite pieces for the fall and winter, anything from a cashmere turtleneck to trousers are on the table as viable options.
Other designers haven’t failed to meet the moment — brands such as Re Ona, Lovello Elizabeth, and Source Unknown are already familiar with serving up fashionably comfortable apparel — so much so that this may be your easiest holiday shopping mission yet. Ahead, here’s 21 cozy fashion gifts for your loved ones that will keep them smiling through the new year.
