We’ve decoded the perfect present for every decade
We’ve all found ourselves in this scenario on more occasions than one: You’re trying to find a gift for someone who belongs to a different generation, but you can’t quite crack what to get them because their sartorial preferences vary vastly from yours. This all-too-familiar conundrum, can quickly make gift-giving, a seemingly simple and fun task, quite daunting. However, upon closer examination, you’ll learn that each decade of our lives is characterised by a very distinct approach to fashion, and deciphering that is key to finding the perfect present. For instance, when you’re in your 20s, you’re still in the process of defining your personal style and, therefore, you’re likely to appreciate a gift that allows you to test-run a new trend. However, when you’re in your 30s and 40s, your appetite for sartorial experiments starts to diminish and you start to slowly lean towards investment items or high-quality classics. Armed with this awareness, we put together a gift guide with something for every age group. Scroll down for our finds that are guaranteed to earn your brownie points.
