It can be hard to shop for that one person who loves fashion. Or maybe it’s you who needs a little inspo for your wishlist (did you know you can now build favorites lists on StockX?). Perfecting your winter wardrobe or shopping for the holidays shouldn’t be stressful. We’re keeping it easy with the crème de la crème of apparel – only the real highlights of the season.
The Best Pants for the Season
You can never go wrong with a great pair of jeans and cargos, especially during the cooler months, and the go-tos this holiday are on-trend but still have lasting power in any closet.
To start, consider the Supreme x Stone Island Reactive Ice Camo Cargo Pants in black. The pair features a straight fit, two oversized cargo pockets, and the classic Stone Island branding over the left pocket. Black cargo pants are the perfect gift this season — they can be worn with virtually anything and can be dressed up or down for any occasion, and the black colorway makes it an easy addition to any wardrobe. The best part? You can cop on StockX for under retail, saving you some money.
The Levi’s 501 silhouette is arguably the most iconic denim cut of all time, popular in the 90s and making a huge comeback over the past few years with the resurgence of grunge and 90s fashion. JJJJound and Levi’s teamed up to release the 501 ‘93 original, bringing the classic cut back with minimal JJJJound branding around the knee area. The jeans feature a classic wash with slight discoloration at the knee, just like denim would naturally wear over time. If you’re shopping for someone who enjoys vintage, the quiet luxury trend, or the 90s, you can never go wrong with a pair of 501s.
Knits, Hoodies & Cardigans
Everyone needs a good sweater for the holidays, and our team’s personal favorite is the Supreme Patchwork Cable Knit Cardigan, released during the brand’s fall/winter 2023 season. This cardigan feels holiday-esque without going overboard on the festive feels. Instead, it feels vintage and elevated. As we’ve seen streetwear and skate brands experiment with more elevated, menswear tailoring and designs, this piece stands as a highlight of Supreme’s constant evolution.
Sticking with Supreme, we have the Chest Stripe Sweater from the fall/winter 2023 season. The knit sweater features a beautiful all-over pinkish purple colorway, with the “Supreme” logo front and center. If you’re shopping for someone who loves the brand and wants their logos front and center, this is a great investment.
Probably one of the most visually stunning outerwear pieces on the list, we have the Stüssy Cosmos Reversible Jacket. The zip-up is a versatile piece of clothing with two distinct sides: one features a colorful design with swirling nebulae on a black background, while the other side is a classic black. Its colorful side is made from comfortable 100% Polyester wool, featuring a cosmic scene, Stüssy branding, and a pattern of multi-colored mountains. When you turn the jacket inside out, you’ll find a black exterior made of 100% nylon, complete with functional pockets and a subtle Stüssy logo on the left side. If you’re looking for a multi-functional piece, this is your best bet on this list. The reversible design means it can be styled with different looks, making it a versatile fleece that will last for seasons to come.
You can never go wrong with a classic down jacket, especially if you live in colder climates. The iconic The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in black represents a sustainable twist on the brand’s renowned design, now crafted entirely from 100% recycled materials. Just like the classic Nuptse Jacket, this eco-friendly iteration includes essential features such as 700 Fill-down insulation, a foldable hood, and a water-resistant finish.
For a more fashion-forward gift, consider the Kith Pinehurst Sherpa Full Zip in Sandrift. The jacket is made using a unique paisley sherpa jacquard material, with a mesh lining for added comfort. This jacket comes with interior side-seam bungee adjusters for a customized fit, secure side pockets, and a front zip closure with rubber puller accents. To top it off, you’ll find Kith-branded accents and a gold label above the cuff, adding to its distinctive style.
For the hypebeast in the family, consider the Travis Scott Utopia A2 Hoodie in brown. The hoodie features a slightly boxy fit with the word “Utopia” written in graffiti-style font. The back features a graphic of four skulls printed vertically, slightly curving from the left shoulder to the lower back.
Statement T-Shirts
A sure-pleaser is the loud, edgy, and bombastic Hellstar Electric Kid T-shirt. The shirt features an all-over screen print of the Hellstar Lightning kid graphic over a vintage-wash black tee. The shirt strikes a perfect balance of feeling nostalgic with a modern, boxy cut. This shirt would be a great gift for someone who loves loud prints and eccentric designs.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the Supreme NBA Youngboy Tee to wrap up our list of the best apparel for the holidays. The shirt features a graphic of NBA Youngboy wearing a white box logo tee. Crafted from premium cotton, this shirt offers a soft, breathable, and comfortable feel, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear.
