Holiday season means no rest for the “Wicked” (we’re big fans here), all the moms out there, and the serial shoppers who are racing to cross off everyone on their list. Luckily for us, Free People shared their latest and greatest last-minute gifts that are cozy, cute, and completely return-proof. There’s a little something for everyone in here…including yourself. Happy shopping.
Trendy jeans that keep going viral…
If we could only bring one pair of jeans on vacation, we’d bring these mid-rise barrel jeans. They’re loose and comfy like sweatpants, but sturdy and stylish enough to dress up for dinner out. Pair them with a tucked-in button-down or simple tee and your favorite shoes, since the length is perfect for showing off your footwear. ($98)
A long-sleeve top that’s not like other tops…
One early 2000s comeback we’re obsessing over? Layered tops with exaggerated sleeves. And this long-sleeve one is at the top of our list. It has a looser fit, and features eye-catching printed cuffs to take your favorite jeans-and-a-cute-top combo to the next level. With so many different colors to choose from, we won’t blame you for snagging more than one. ($78)
A chunky knit scarf that’s extra long…
If your one goal this winter is to stay as warm as possible, then this scarf is an obvious choice. It’s thick and extra long, which makes it easy to tie, wrap, or knot any way you want. Plus, it comes in both bright and neutral colors. Pair it with a monochrome look to add an extra pop of color and prepare for compliments. ($48)
A sheer layering top that goes from day to night…
We’re always looking for easy ways to elevate our tried-and-true basics and this sheer layering top makes it almost too easy. It fits snugly, which makes it a great long-sleeve option under your favorite dress, while the chic mock-neckline makes it easy to style over any tank or tube top. ($40)
A waffle-knit cardigan that can stand on its own…
Who said cardigans had to be traditional? This waffle-knit cardi begs to differ. You can wear it buttoned-up as a top or open as a second layer. The lighter colors are on the sheer side, so we recommend pairing it with a lace cami or a colorful bra you won’t mind showing through. ($40)
The oversized puffer jacket of our dreams…
For anyone who wishes they could wear their cozy bed comforter out into the cold, meet this puffer jacket. It has a slouchy, oversized fit that won’t weigh you down or take away from your outfit. Add this one to your cart if you’re looking for a statement-style outerwear piece you can throw over any sweater or top. ($168)
A comfy airport outfit that’s better than sweatpants…
Move over sweat sets, there’s a new travel uniform in town. This sweater set is the epitome of quiet luxury — without the high price tag. The top can be worn on its own or over any tank or tee. The matching straight-leg pants have an equally relaxed fit which makes it feel like you’re wearing PJs (while still looking put together). ($128)
A classic button-up cardigan…
Simply put, this cardigan is a classic. It’s made with a soft wool and cashmere blend so it’ll keep you warm without taking up too much space in your closet or dresser. We also love the scoopneck that helps make it a great layering piece. The hardest part? Choosing from 11 bright, bold, and transitional colors. ($128)
A chunky knit beanie you’ll want in every color…
For anyone looking for the perfect knit beanie á la Cameron Diaz in “The Holiday,” we’ve got great news: this chunky beanie is it. It’s one-size-fits-all and comes in over five different colors. Plus, it’s under $30 which makes it a great gift for any stylish friends on your gift list…even if that’s you. ($28)
A charm necklace that will make a statement…
If you love charm necklaces but have decision paralysis when it comes to picking out each charm, this necklace has you covered. Each style comes with over 15 unique charms already linked and evenly separated *cue eyebrow wipe*. Add it to a lower-cut top or a mock-neck to take your casual outfit from day to night. ($48)
A convertible tote bag that’s as spacious as it is chic…
Here’s a bag that can keep up during the holiday season — and beyond. This We The Free Emerson totebag has convertible straps that let you switch between a crossbody and shoulder bag while on the go. It’s also made with 100% real (and buttery) leather that’s designed to look soft and slouchy. We’re giving it bonus points for the two roomy outside pockets. ($248)
A striped turtleneck that won’t cause you to overheat…
No cold-weather wardrobe is complete without a trusty form-fitting turtleneck top. This striped one is a great option to wear under your favorite sweater vest or buttoned cardigan (or on its own). It’s also long enough to tuck into jeans, corduroy pants or a skirt. ($58)
