Vanessa Williams said to Save The Best For Last... Don't Miss Our Final Guide!
For this season’s #giftincolor gift guide series on Style Girlfriend, we hand-selected more than 100 amazing holiday gift ideas for both guys and gals. Every Tuesday we’ve launched a brand new guide that’s themed to a different color. Check out our past weeks featuring red, orange + yellow, green, light blue, indigo and metallics. Up today? Our final guide in Black & White.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re finally here: The last #GiftInColor holiday gift guide. After sampling just about every color in the rainbow, we’re concluding with the most essential (non) colors in our sartorial vocabulary: black and white. And yes, a dash of gray too.
Cozy and cool are the two words that come to mind when we think of this guide—from Schott’s killer wool-and-leather varsity jacket to Coach’s so-hip-it-hurts fringe bag and Negative Underwear’s sassy and sexy bra-and-briefs set. Extra cozy points go to Saturday’s Surf NYC for their down vest lined in wool, and Patagonia’s down shirt that’s so thin and light you’ll hardly believe just how warm it actually is.
Two of our favorite (little) gifts in this guide are ideal scented stocking stuffers. For the guys, this candle from The Motley burns a pleasing fragrance that’s super subtle yet totally masculine. For the ladies on your list, you can’t miss with Elizabeth and James’ Nirvana perfumes—Black has notes of vanilla and sandalwood (a personal favorite), while White is a feminine blend of peonies and musk.
We hope you guys liked shopping our gift guides as much as we enjoyed putting them together! It was actually one of the biggest undertakings in the history of Style Girlfriend, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of a very talented editor and photographer, awesome brands excited to be a part of the SG story, and countless messengers toting bags and bags (and bags) of products all over town.

This one is hands down, the best of all the #GiftInColor guides, though indigo, light blue and red were up there as well, IMO. That leather-and-wool bomber though: mad awesome! Then again, my cafe racer jacket holds its own against it. 😛
Thanks Joseph!! We loved it too (it was actually really hard to wait until the last week to show it to you!) But glad to hear you enjoyed several of the other gift guides as well
It’s hard to say which is my favorite. I liked the red, orange and yellow, and the green. If I had to pick one I’d say green, just because it is a little more unexpected than the other colors in my opinion.
That’s as good a reason as any, in my book!
I really liked Indigo. This was a great set of segments. I’m looking forward to seeing it, or something like it next year.
Thanks Steve, glad you liked it!
I want the grey jumper, but I always buy sweaters and then never wear them. Maybe a cardigan version to dress up my hooded sweatshirt addiction.
Sounds like a decent plan to me
