EQVVS Gift Guide | Top 10 Luxury Gifts
Those among us who usually do Christmas shopping on the 23rd, en route to your parents house will tell you Christmas is often better when you're giving something better than a last minute candle with the sticker half-heartedly peeled off.
Luckily at EQVVS have a load of stuff that actually make pretty decent gifts. But that's not all, we've also taken the liberty of sorting you out with some gifting categories to really get those yuletide cogs a-turning.
You could ask ChatGPT what to buy for your brother this year, if you wanted. Or you could just consult us…
If you'd rather skim the guide and get your shopping done ASAP, here's a quick overview of some of the best gift ideas at a glance.
- For the man at the Boxing Day match: Shop Overshirts
- For the Music Fanatic: Shop PLEASURES
- For the Outdoor type: Shop the Gorpcore Edit
- For the Skater Boy: Shop the Skate Style Edit
- For the Footwear Fanatic: Shop All Footwear
1. The Smart/Cas Man
A wardrobe staple teetering on the edge of smart and casual, the Oxford Shirt dates as far back as the 19th century... so that's decades of laidback looks to take inspo from. Polo Ralph Lauren has a shedload of Shirts in a selection of designs and colourways, each with a prep-influenced style and an embroidered Polo Player to finish.
2. Top Tier Trainers
Footwear aficionado's New Balance are on top form at the minute (actually they have been since 1906) and their high-spec, track-traversing trabs puts them a step ahead of the game with a real fuss-free, thought out aesthetic. Plus, we've found that fuss-free means easy to style, so there's no second guessing if these shoes will go with the 'fit.. trust us, they do.
3. Hats Off To Ya
There isn't a more sought after beanie this year than Carhartt WIP's Acrylic Watch Hat or the Script Beanie. Luckily, we've got it in loads of colours, so buy 4 and distribute accordingly. If none of those tickle your fancy, Columbia, HUGO and Fred Perry have a shedload of beanies too. Something for everyone, eh?
4. The BIG winter coat
Ordinarily, Christmas might be too late to be buying a big winter coat, but the weather is so unpredictable they might still be needing it in May. Polo Ralph Lauren's timeless collection of Hybrid Jackets and Quilted Coats are one to keep on the radar.
Or for something that's trending in the fashion market, with years of experience in crafting hardwearing garms, check out these styles from Dickies.
5. Trending Cargos & Pants
Streetwear brands like Gramicci, Carhartt WIP, Stan Ray and Dickies have gone in hard with durable, hard-grafting Cargos & Pants for a casual, skater style look. Alternatively, C.P. Company and Marshall Artist have Overshirts that are perfect for Match Day at the stadium.
6. In the bag
Gone are the days of carrying loose change and phones in their back pocket. These designer bags from brands like HUGO and Carhartt WIP have got everybody talking. In fact, people never stop asking for them.
7. Underneath the fit
A crackin' little add on gift... get rid of their washed out grey boxers with the hole by the waistband and freshen up with a classic pair of Calvins. Or, shop other brands like P.S Paul Smith, Polo Ralph Lauren and BOSS for multipack boxers- they're easy to overlook but kind of a must.
8. Designer Wallets
Another thing in need of a freshen up? Anyone would think they wait for Christmas in the hopes of replacing all of the tattered stuff they've hoarded over the years. Wallets are a biggie- stretched out leather folds, ripped coin compartments, loyalty cards from a shop closed down a decade ago stretching out the card slot?
Sounds like a new wallet by Fred Perry or Pretty Green might be on the cards.
9. Loungewear
Ok, so perhaps not everyone gets to lounge around any more at Christmas... but our Designer Loungewear will transcend all seasons so whenever they do actually get the chance to chill, they can do it in a decent 'fit.
Check out these easy lounging bits from brands like Polo Ralph Lauren and BOSS.
10. Statement Tee's & Sweats
Not just a plain T-Shirt or Sweatshirt, these tops are the easiest wardrobe addition to add a little statement to their outfit. With really iconic Graphic designs and Backprints from some top selling brands like Carhartt WIP and FADED and PLEASURES, some designs are ironic and quirky- but not in the scratchy, ugly Christmas jumper way.
