The Tempus Christmas Gift Guide 2022: Fashion
By Gabriel Power | 9 November 2022 | Style
In the third instalment of our Christmas guides for 2022, we peer into the world of the sartorial for that fashion-conscious friend of yours
With Christmas fast approaching, this week sees Tempus compile the best gifts to grab for a family member, a friend – or even yourself. Over the next few days, we will be looking at the best luxury gift items available in categories ranging from indulgent food and drink to stunning design pieces for your house. In this third instalment, we hit the runway for an all-things-sartorial look at gifting.
It's a risky gambit, but opting to gift a friend or family member with an item of clothing they immediately fall in love with feels like hitting the Christmas jackpot. Each person has their own incredibly particular tastes and styles when it comes to clothing, so there's no better way of showing that you care about someone – and listen to their every word – than nailing that sartorial gift.
Here, Tempus has compiled a number of great presents in the realm of clothing and accessories that are sure to light up a loved one's Christmas.
