Stylish Gift Ideas

For the fashionable mom, choose a holiday gift that appeals to her sense of style. Look for chic pieces, from cashmere sweaters to trendy boots to glitzy bags.

When shopping for holiday gifts, search for deals at stores like T.J.Maxx and Marshalls where you can find designer duds at discount prices. We have also compiled a list of fashionable gift ideas from other retailers too.

Cashmere sweater

Nothing says luxury like a soft cashmere sweater. From the classic cardigan to the simple pullover to the trendy cowl neck, cashmere sweaters come in a variety of styles and colors. Pick something classic like the camel Halogen V-neck cashmere sweater (Nordstrom, $79).

Wondrous boot

Knee-high boots

Knee-high boots are the perfect choice for the season. They are stylish and practical. For moms on the go, look for a trendy wedge heel rather than a sky-high stiletto. The A2 by Aerosoles Wondrous wedge boots (Kohl's, $65) are a terrific choice.

Oversized sunglasses

Oversized shades

Sunglasses aren't just for summertime. You need to protect your eyes all year round. Sunglasses are a wonderful gift idea for the fashionable mom. They add a touch of Hollywood glam, while also hiding the eyes on those mornings when you didn't get enough sleep. Check out the Diane von Furstenberg oversized sunglasses (Nordstrom, $95) with their modified cat-eye shape.

Skinny jeans

The fashionista mom wouldn't be caught dead in "mom jeans." Get her a pair of skinny jeans instead. And you don't have to stick to classic blue jeans. Try a pair of trendy colored jeans instead. The Mossimo colored skinny jeans (Target, $28) come in a variety of rich colors from purple to mustard to crimson.

Crystal clutch

Every chic mom needs a go-to evening bag for nights out. Look for a clutch that is big enough to carry all her essentials. Whether adorned with sequins, ruffles, crystals or other embellishments, make sure it has a little glitz. The J.Furmani crystal flap clutch (eBags, $47) is a terrific buy.

YSL lipstick

Red lipstick

The perfect shade of red lipstick can take any outfit from drab to fab. If you are buying makeup for someone else, stick to tried and true colors rather than something out of the ordinary. Pick a classic red like Yves Saint Laurent's Rouge Volupte lipstick in Red Muse (Nordstrom, $34) that will work well with any complexion.
