Holiday Gift Guide 2025: Best Fashion Gifts, Designer Picks, and Wardrobe Staples

 

The second drop of my 2025 Holiday Gift Guide is here, and this time we are diving headlong into one of my favorite categories ever: Fashion. This edit is built around pieces that feel luxurious, wearable, and rooted in personal style. I prefer beautifully made clothing and accessories that elevate a wardrobe in a meaningful way, and can be mixed and matched for multiple occasions.

Fashion gifting can be tricky, yet incredibly rewarding when you choose something thoughtful. My selections this year cover everything from timeless designer icons to wardrobe staples, jewelry, and beautifully crafted sleepwear. If you want unique gifts that boast both longevity and style, this is the list.

Thank you for your continued love and support, and here's to a joyous holiday season!


Designers and Statement Makers

This category celebrates designers who know how to shape a look with personality and craft. These gifts are for the person who loves fashion as self expression. I have been personally gifted some of these pieces by the brands themselves, and they have found a permanent place in my wardrobe for sure!

BAOBAB enters the list this year with a sustainable, sculptural approach to resort wear. The fabric on their designs drapes beautifully and the silhouettes read as sophisticated vacation energy. This would be a perfect choice for someone who appreciates elegance with a touch of boldness. And if I lived anywhere tropical, I would only wear BAOBAB fits. (If I could!)

  • Gifting | I was recently gifted the Clarissa Top and bought myself the matching Clarissa Pants because I just had to complete the set. If you gifted said set, I do not think you’d have any complaints. Just saying.

  • 15% off code: HANNAHP15

Diane von Furstenberg remains the definition of effortless glamour. Whether it is prints, wrap silhouettes, or elegant separates, DVF pieces feel timeless and gift-worthy for every age.

FRAME is a name commonly brought up among the world of polished essentials. Their denim, tailored jackets, and refined knits form the backbone of a modern wardrobe. They’ve been very generous with me this year and my wardrobe has benefited immensely. <3

  • 15% off code: HANNAHP15

Rachel Antonoff is a perfect brand choice for anyone with a bold, playful style. The pieces are filled with expressive colors, whimsical details, and fun prints.

  • Gifting | The Falco Tent Dress is a fun piece to receive (I put mine on and twirl around saying ‘ehehe’ sometimes; it’s a hoot.) Might I also suggest the Budde Pj Set for the loungewear print obsessed? Because I’m obsessed with mine, ayyy. (And it is on sale right now!)

  • 15% off code: ATOMIC15

Mademoiselle Jules adds that signature Parisian charm. They make sparkly pieces that feel elegant, intentional, and easy to love. Plus, they are quite affordable!

  • 15% off code: ATOMIC15

Silk Laundry offers fluid, minimal silhouettes that embody quiet luxury. Their gifting selection feels thoughtful, elevated, and forever in style.

Wardrobe Essentials and Elevated Basics

This section is for pieces that anchor a closet. Clean lines, high quality materials, and silhouettes that work for years, not only seasons.

Ruti designs polished staples with architectural cuts and a modern edge. Every piece I have, I love.

  • Gifting | You can’t go wrong with The Forever Jacket. It goes with everything and it can be worn a few different ways. I’d also suggest the On The Loose Work Pants as a companion piece because they both make such a cute outfit.

  • 15% off code: ATOMIC15

    • PS: if their Gifting sale is still live, this code won’t stack, but it will work after the sale ends! Xoxo

M.M.LaFleur remains the master of sophisticated work-wear and transitional pieces. They make perfect gifts for someone who wants a wardrobe that moves easily through every part of the day.

  • 15% off code: ATOMICBLONDE15

EBY creates seamless underwear that supports without digging, slipping, or showing. A set from them would be a practical gift that genuinely improves daily comfort while also sporting a cute design.

  • Gifting | I would suggest going for a bundle, depending on who you are shopping for. I also keep coming back to the best-selling Sheer Bralette + Brief Set in Madame Noir; it’s a showstopper.

  • 15% off code: ATOMIC15

ThirdLove excels in both fit and function. Their bras and loungewear strike the rare balance between comfort and elegance.

  • 10% off code: HANNAH10


Shoes, Accessories, and Sleepwear

These are the gifts that finish a look and make it feel intentional. Sometimes practical, sometimes glam, always appreciated.

DSW is the easiest way to source stylish footwear for your giftee across price points. You’ll be able to browse boots, heels, sneakers, and everything in between.

Lunya transforms sleepwear into an indulgent experience. Their washable silk sets are beautiful, comfortable, and very giftable. (Their gift wrapping is so chic, too!)

  • 15% off code (works for new customers only): ONEATOMICBLONDE

Case-Mate elevates tech accessories with stylish, protective designs. I have personally bought their phone cases and small tech items for years.

  • Gifting | The current trending item (which Case-Mate was kind enough to send me) is their viral Jelly Tote. Depending on their preference, there are a few different colors to choose from. (Mine is the Ballet Pink Bow!) You could also throw in the Soap Bubble® MagSafe Snap Wallet if it makes sense for their phone. I use the heck out of mine!

  • 20% off code: ATOMIC20

Melissa brings sustainable materials and iconic jelly silhouettes into the modern world. I discovered them once upon a time via their epic collab with my favorite designer, Vivienne Westwood, and never looked back. Melissa’s designs are comfortable, nostalgic, and fun!

  • Gifting | I use my gifted Cozy Warm Clog as my designated house slippers, and I kind of want another pair to wear outside, they are so comfortable. Just saying; they’d make an amazing gift for anyone. If the person you are gifting wants something they can dress up an outfit with, I’d say go for the Station 79 in Pearly Blue.

  • 15% off code: ATOMIC15

Keds offers timeless sneakers that fit seamlessly into any wardrobe. They are clean, classic, and always dependable.

  • Gifting | Keds sent me the Contest Perf Lace Up recently and I think they’d be a nice gift for someone who needed a neutral, sporty, staple sneaker in their repitoire.
