If you're wondering about the best way to splurge on yourself or a loved one this holiday season, this curated gift guide is my treat for you. Accessories are a fashion person's greatest asset. My wardrobe tends to revolve around classic staples, and I can assure you that the right handbag, shoe, or jewelry can turn a rather basic outfit into a chic fashion statement. With the cold weather here to stay, I'd recommend introducing stylish scarves, cozy hats, and cashmere gloves into the mix as well.

Net-a-Porter is the one-stop destination for all the best designer accessories from Toteme's trending leather clutch to Khaite's Marfa suede knee-high boots. Below, you'll find the 28 items that any fashion person would be happy to unwrap, and trust me when I say they're worth every penny. Keep scrolling to shop.

Nothing compares to the feeling of purchasing a new investment handbag. They come in all shapes and sizes, and to be honest, it feels like having a new companion. Don't be afraid to indulge yourself with a chic buy this holiday season whether it's Gucci's cherished Jackie shoulder bag or a sleek, everyday tote from Acne Studios.

Covetable Shoes

In my opinion, you can never have too many shoes, and finishing off 2023 with a brand-new pair seems like the best way to end the year. Flats have continued to make their way into the closets of many, so if you have yet to make this on-trend purchase for yourself or a loved one, the holiday season is the perfect time to do so. Knee-high boots, sneakers, or loafers also make excellent gifts for any shoe enthusiast.

Winter Essentials

Layering with elevated winter accessories is the key to braving the cold weather in style. And it's important to note that every detail matters from the socks and gloves to the scarf and beanie. These accessories are easy enough to wrap and ship to long-distance friends and family and will definitely be appreciated this time of year.

Timeless Jewelry

Timeless jewelry has a way of showing someone how much you care about them. It's something a person wears and treasures for years to come, making these covetable pieces top-tier holiday presents. And Net-a-Porter's selection is so good that I just might have to treat myself to something shiny as well. Take a look at my picks below, including an elevated ring stack and a stunning pearl bracelet.
