I'm the type of shopper who will take weeks to decide whether or not to splurge on a party dress, but if someone I love wants it, I'll buy it for them in an instant. I'll spoil my parents, sisters, or good friends before I even think about getting the same thing for myself. It doesn't make it easier on my bank account, but the contentment on their faces is worth it.
When shopping for high-end items, I typically spend a lot of time vetting the quality and durability. A cashmere sweater. A versatile cardholder. A statement everyday bag. The thinking is, if I'm going to splurge on something, it better last for years. If you're on the lookout for similar fashion gifts, I've compiled a list of ideas that are worth your attention. Ranging from small everyday and special-occasion pieces to bigger investments, you will find something for every fashion-lover on your list.
