How to shop for Valentine's Day?
The new year just kicked off and it's throwing us into one of the most challenging missions: showing our special people how much we care. Yep, because even if not everyone expresses affection with romantic gifts and fancy presents, receiving one every now and then can't hurt, especially on a day like Valentine's Day. February 14th is just around the corner, and if you haven't found the perfect gift yet, well... it's time to take matters into your own hands: less than a week left! No need to panic – finding the ideal Valentine's Day gift this time might be easier than you think. We understand how awesome and important it is to remind someone special in our lives – be it a partner, family member, or friend – how much they mean to us. We've whipped up the ultimate Gift Guide for Valentine's Day: from clothing, with cozy cashmere sweaters and cardigans, velvet pants, or laid-back baggy and wide-leg styles; to waxed jackets and wool overshirts; all the way to our extensive selection of accessories, leather and faux leather bags, practical and spacious tote bags, elegant mini bags and clutches, to carry by hand or wear over the shoulder.
Valentine's Day Gifts for Her
How to find the right Valentine's Day gift for her? Whether it's a girlfriend, a friend, or any other special person in your life, figuring out what to gift a woman is never an easy feat. For these last winter days, we've curated a selection of jackets perfect for the transitional season, not only for city life but also for outdoor adventures, perhaps during a romantic weekend getaway. From the classic waxed models by Barbour, like the iconic Bedale or the timeless Beadnell; to quilted styles, lightweight and warm at the same time, perfect for the unpredictable weather. Pair the outerwear with a minimal design knitwear piece like C.T. Plage's cardigans and sweaters, in 100% wool, or one of Labo Art's designs. But our Gift Guide wouldn't be complete without a selection of the most beloved accessories from top brands. A uniquely recognizable bag, like Hender Scheme's bucket model, or a classic and timeless charm, like Barbour's mini bag, characterized by golden elements like the central buckle that adds a refined touch. Ideal worn crossbody, this mini bag is perfect for storing all those essentials you can't leave the house without, while larger bags, like Bags In Progress' spacious totes, are perfect for hectic days spent in the city, between one appointment and the next.
Valentine's Day Gifts for Him
For him, Valentine's Day gift ideas are truly diverse. For the sporty, outdoor-loving men, Filson is the brand to watch. The Down Cruiser jacket, padded with plenty of handy pockets, is perfect for those seeking an urban charm that can also be applied to more adventurous days. Just like the Mackinaw Jack Shirt, the overshirt in 100% wool that can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water while keeping you dry and comfortable for the rest of the day. Pair it with Barbour International's checked shirt and Engineered Garments' oversized pants, ideal for a street-style look reminiscent of American hip-hop style from the '90s. If your guy appreciates a more classic aesthetic, evoking the preppy style of Ivy League American colleges, then Baracuta is a safe bet: a nice V-neck sweater or the iconic G9 Harrington Jacket.
That's all folks! Or maybe not... Our Gift Guide suggestions for Valentine's Day go even further: not just sweaters and overshirts, but also hoodies, cardigans, and waxed jackets; check scarves with Barbour's iconic Tartan; velvet, cotton, and denim pants, like those from Levis and Gramicci; waterproof boots, such as Barbour's classic rubber ones for countrywear enthusiasts, or Blundstone's Chelsea Boots for those who love urbanwear but are looking for a versatile model to wear for outdoor adventures in nature; and then there's New Balance and Vans for the sporty ones who don't want to give up street style. Don't miss this chance to remind your special person how important they are to you!
