Appearances aren’t everything. But for certain people, they’re pretty damn important. From an understated Longines watch and a timeless denim jacket to elite grooming products — here are 16 Christmas gift ideas for the stylish operator in your life.
For the style king, it begins and ends with the ‘fit. Which is why we’re prescribing proven wardrobe staples to elevate the look.
During the cooler days, they’ll appreciate Ralph Lauren’s Westview Denim Trucker Jacket ($659) in all its copper-tone rivet and washed vintage beauty. Pair this with a Lemaire Soft Military Overshirt ($1,470), maybe even some New Balance 1906Rs ($230) or APC Theodore Derbies ($640) should you feel so inclined.
Though given we’re cruising towards the Aussie summer, perhaps Scotch & Soda Swim Shorts ($140) and AKILA Titan Sunglasses ($395) would be a tad more appropriate.
Some gifts, however, are season-proof. Like an understated Seb Brown Tablet Ring ($890), attractive-yet-functional Carhartt WIP Men’s Orlean Tote Bag ($132), and the ever-versatile Longines Legend Diver ($5,600).
With its timeless design and cutting-edge performance, it’s a true icon of watchmaking — equally at home on land or underwater (an impressive 300 metres of water resistance), and represents the perfect daily.
This stainless steel tool watch now appears in a trio of fresh dial colours (green, terracotta, anthracite grey) with Super-LumiNova-coated hands and markers; flaunts a fan-favourite 39mm case size, is powered by Longines’ exclusive L888.6 calibre, and delivers up to 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
If timepieces aren’t exactly their flavour, consider the Montblanc Meisterstück Document Case ($3,095).
This elegant travel companion — and a tribute to writing culture — is crafted from a sumptuous black leather, with details that “speak the language of the nib”: from the stitching and zip pullers to the handles. It also offers practicality in spades with a removable leather shoulder strap and an entire host of interior pockets.
To paraphrase a certain watch brand, style is an attitude. A way of life. It’s taking care of yourself with something like the award-winning Augustinus Bader Rich Cream ($468); an intensely luxurious and nourishing daily moisturiser that turns the clock back by encouraging cellular renewal.
It’s taking care of the delicate garments in your wardrobe with the Tefal All-In-One Steamer ($649).
It’s allowing people to discover you — as opposed to announcing oneself — with fragrant delights like the Celine Nightclubbing EDP ($490) or Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather EDP ($375); evoking “memories of Parisian nights” with accents of nicotine and a floral “desert heart wrapped in leather,” respectively.
And it’s enjoying a bottle of Bushmills 10-Year-Old Whiskey ($70).
An ode to Irish craftsmanship, this beloved single malt has been triple distilled from 100% malted barley; and aged in former Sherry and bourbon-seasoned casks. The result? A rich honey, vanilla, and milk chocolate aroma. Exceptionally complex, approachable, and smooth, the 10-Year-Old is a perfect summertime dram. Especially on the rocks.
As for the style king who has it all, help them keep their timepieces perfectly wound and protected with Wolf’s 16-Watch Winder Cabinet ($19,000). In addition to the 1-1,999 programmable rotation options per day, this bad boy even features Bluetooth app control.
