Around this time of year, navigating the shopping space can be overwhelming, even for a fashion editor. Our inboxes are bombarded 24/7 with sale messaging, and you can’t walk a block without seeing an advertisement for a cute gift. (I mean, I’m not mad about it, but still.) In order to make sure I’m strategic with my spending, I love turning to my fellow editors for some insight into the items they’re eyeing for the season. This year, so many Who What Wear editors are declaring Calvin Klein a treasure trove of winter gems. Whether you’re looking for a present to wrap up for your pickiest fashion friend (you can’t go wrong with a blanket scarf) or need a new piece to add to your closet, this iconic brand is the spot. Keep scrolling for 16 things our editors are shopping now, from gift-worthy jeans (yes, it’s possible!) to the lug-sole boots that I’m already planning multiple looks around.
“As soon as the temperatures dip below 70°, I’m ready to revive my hoodie collection. I use them as the base layer for many of my outfits during the winter months, and this color and cropped fit is absolute perfection.”
“Lug-sole boots captured my heart last year, and luckily, this style has major staying power in the ever-changing trend cycle. My mom will be visiting me in NYC this winter, and these are the perfect shoes for her to wear while walking around the city, especially if it happens to snow.”
“I’m a sucker for a bralette that’s equal parts stylish and comfortable, and Calvin Klein is known for making the best options. I love that this one is lightly lined and wire-free. It’s super sleek and has a tonal embroidered logo that’s a little different from the typical monogrammed CK bras you see. It adds a subtle touch.”
“Buying jeans as a gift sounds like risky business, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take when the wash and fit is this good. I think everyone needs a pair of straight-leg jeans in their wardrobe at the moment, so I’m making sure everyone on my list gets a taste of this ongoing trend.”
“My best friend lives in bodysuits to create that pefectly-tucked-in look. She’ll adore this stunner.”
“I live in chunky knits, and so does basically every person in my inner circle. I want to add this one to my wardrobe to wear with jeans, and I also want to get it for all my friends!”
“This is the ideal denim cut, in my opinion. It’s one of those pairs of jeans that could easily become a mainstay in a wardrobe.”
“My mom just mentioned that she needs fresh gloves. This pair with touchscreen-compatible fabric is perfection.”
“I’m convinced that there’s no better gift for a friend who has a lot of clothes than a blanket scarf. They’re so warm and give off that effortless, French-girl vibe we’re all after.”
“These are the kind of jeans I’d like to gift myself this holiday season. I’m currently revamping my denim drawers and only allowing relaxed fits like this pair.”
“I spy a lot of bodycon dresses on the menu this holiday season. I’m insisting on gifting seamless underwear to go right along with what I think my loved ones will be wearing.”
“Right now, elevated basics are such a priority in my winter wardrobe. This crewneck sweater is the layering essential I’ll be able to wear all winter long.”
“This plaid sherpa jacket is perfect for my upcoming ski trips. I’ll layer this over a turtleneck and faux-leather leggings for the ultimate après ski look.”
“Sweatshirt season is officially here, and I’ll be celebrating with this cozy fleece hoodie.”
“I love gifting accessories that people will actually wear such as this knit beanie. The pom-pom detail is so cute. I’ll be getting one for myself and my closest friends.”
“The logo detail here is so cute and sporty. Plus, there is simply no comfier underwear out there.”
