Here’s a primer on what to get the clotheshorses and accessory addicts in your life — from designer socks and slippers to a comfortable party dress, a modern pocket watch, and more.
Subway-Comeback Tee
Let them show their pride in the return of the W line.
Socks Down Under
Designed by a painter now based in Brooklyn; sewn one sock at a time in her native New Zealand.

Delightful Socks
The quintessential little luxury of cashmere socks can actually be improved upon when you add cute winking eyes.
Alexander McQueen Socks
For the fashion person who also loves Beetlejuice.
Versace Slippers
Some opulent (but not insanely expensive) padding-around-the-house shoes.
Waterproof Chucks
Made of water-repellent canvas and featuring a comfortable, thick Nike-made insole.
Shark Shirt
A Hudson NYC sweatshirt for a teen boy with lots of pent-up hormonal rage.
Bright-Red Saddle Bag
It feels very “12 little girls in two straight lines,” but in an elegant way.
Handsome Tracker
This Michael Kors wearable tracks steps and sleep.
Ruffly Blouse
Look like a boy in a Van Dyck painting with this Ralph Lauren tunic.
Hedley & Bennett Potter’s Apron
So that friend who took up ceramics can throw at the wheel without getting clay all over her culottes.

A wearable sleeping bag (for campfires, sitting around the house on a Sunday) made in collaboration with outdoorsy brand Poler Stuff.
Retro-Style Fleece
A Tory Sport update of a freshman-year Deerfield staple.
Backpack-Totebag Hybrid
Created by SSCY with the bike commuter in mind. The Tack Sling can hold unwieldy items like a bike wheel.

A bundle of Planned Parenthood sweats, a Human Rights Campaign cap, an Emily’s List tee, and ACLU and Everytown hoodies ($212).
Undecided Scarf
Half-orange, half-gray, all fringe.
Modern Pocket Watch
MMT’s updated pocket watch is made of walnut and has a genuine leather strap.
Candy-Cane Clutch
A pouch pretty much made for the holiday party.
Flashy Gloves
Of 1 00 percent bright-red lambskin, made in Italy.
Waterproof Briefcase
But the best part is the nifty umbrella holder. (Also available in brown.)

The Perfect Shirt
Brunello Cucinelli’s button-downs are machine washable.
A Classic Suede Shoe
Not necessarily new, but no one does driving shoes better than Tod’s.
A Bunch of Diamonds
In just the right size ring for stacking, but they’ll look as amazing on their own.
Embellished Booties
Gold accents up the ante on Furla’s suede three-and-a-half-inch heels.
Vintage-Inspired Lingerie
