Our largest gift guide encapsulates the lost week between Christmas and New Years Eve. Some find themselves free of work and any kind of fixed calendar, the days spent lost in a haze of country walks, leftover cheese, day drinking and too much time spent with our parents. This year we’ve tried to capture the bare essentials for an elevated – but still relaxed! – holiday break. Mountains of knitwear (chunky from Carhartt WIP, KGL and Mone, and soft cashmere from Ralph Lauren), are met with oversized jeans and an array of chunky trainers to survive the most perilous country paths. Delicate party flats from Dior and failsafe suede clogs from Dr. Martens ensure you’ll always be prepared, as will an ARCS crossbody bag and oversized totes from YSL and Goods Goods Issey Miyake. Seeking to elevate the casual holiday break we’ve included statement jewellery from Alec Doherty, Alighieri and MM6 Maison Margiela alongside assertive pieces like the green Loewe cap, hooded check scarf from Burberry and chunky pink frames from JW Anderson. Le Labo’s The Matcha 26 provides the perfect earthy fragrance for the festive break, and any one of cent.ldn’s candles (all available on a handy subscription) offer the warm embrace of the city.
