Buying Clothes As A Christmas Gift For The Woman In Your Life

By Mark Walters


The thought of buying clothes for your wife or girlfriend this Christmas may fill you with horror, but with so many women loving clothes and fashion this really is a great choice of present for the woman in your life. How to get it right though? Well, your wife or girlfriend will certainly leave a few clues about the kind of things she loves to wear so, with a bit of thought and some planning, finding a fashionable gift this Christmas should not be as hard as it may at first seem. Clothing may not seem like the obvious choice compared to perfume but if you get it right she will certainly appreciate the thought and effort you have put into finding something that suits her tastes and personality.

The first thing that you can do to help you work out what might be a good choice of clothing for your wife or girlfriend is to carefully study and analyze her taste in clothes. Does she love jeans? Does she like to change her look with coats or jackets? Is she more of a dress and skirt type of girl than a jeans and t-shirt girl? Try to work out the things she loves and then build on this theme. Finding an item of clothing that is similar to something she loves and wears a lot could be a good choice, particularly if you can find it in a designer label or a range of clothing that she would normally only consider for special occasions. Avoid choosing something that you like - it's about her - and she may think you are trying to change her if you pick out a girly, feminine dress when she is more at home in skinny jeans and rock band t-shirts.

It's important to try to find out her size as buying her anything way too small or way too large could cause offence. Try sneaking a peek at the labels in her clothes but be aware that some women take different sizes in their skirts and trouser than they do for their top half. Remember to hold on to the receipts so that your wife or girlfriend can exchange the item if it does not fit her.

Avoid lingerie or overtly sexy items unless you are 100% sure your wife or girlfriend will find them fun. Some women may feel that you are indicating that you are not happy with her as she is if you choose sexy clothing or lingerie.

Consider color with care as well for example if she is a redhead avoid oranges, reds and pinks. Browns and tans don't always suit brunettes either so it's important to consider her skin tone. Darker skins and those who opt for the tanned look can generally take stronger colors. Lots of women love black and this can be a safe bet but make sure your wife or girlfriend is one of the women who likes this color.
