Gift Guide: What you Need to Know About Boots, Demin & Winter Accessories

Gift Guide: What you Need to Know About Boots, Demin & Winter Accessories

Nov 23, 2022

What do boots, jeans and accessories have in common? They’re all timeless gift ideas for the holidays. So if you’re wondering what gifts you can get for friends, family, kids and more, look no further than this trifecta of gifting perfection. Read on for our Hibbett | City Gear boot gift ideas, winter 2022 accessories trends and jeans perfect for Christmas and beyond.

Here’s how to correctly pick the right styles and fits for each person in your life.

Boot Gift Ideas

Find the best pair of boots by using these key guidelines:

Tan UGG Neumel boots
  • Choose a style that works best for your bestie. If she likes Starbies and knit hats, uses Instagram filters and gets regular balayage, you can do no wrong with a pair of classic UGG boots. For guys who trend toward modern, preppy style, choose a pair of UGG Neumel boots or Clarks. Does he like rugged, utilitarian and street-smart wear? Timberlands will take him where he needs to go.
  • Get the right size. Boots are always a good idea, but make sure you’re getting them a pair that’ll fit their feet. Since most boots are a half-size bigger than a typical sneaker size, go down a size. If your partner has wider feet, you may want to stay with the size up. Looking for taller boots for your thick-calved friend? Be sure to choose an extended size.
  • Check for comfort. Boots are an investment. They’ll take your gift recipient through winter weather, summer puddles or nights out. Whichever pair you select, choose something with comfortable insoles or lining, cushioned features, and enough traction so they’re not slipping and sliding on ice.
  • Pick your brand. Boot brands are a dime a dozen. We’re fans of Nike for sporty trail wear, Timberland for iconic streetwear, Clarks for dressier occasions and Hey Dude for lightweight, everyday wear.

Do It Up With Denim

Looking for Christmas jeans for your holiday family photos or just to wrap up under the tree? Denim is one of those materials and styles that transcends trends. To find jeans for all your holiday needs, you’ll want to consider the following:

  • Wash: Dark wash, light wash, acid wash, black, gray — all the colors are winners. Find your best holiday jeans by purchasing a pair with a wash your intended giftee often wears. If it’s a basic medium-wash, play it safe with that.
  • Style: Your mom may still be rocking the skinny jeans, Pops may prefer a straight leg to go with his dad shoes, and the kids may gravitate toward an oversized boyfriend-style, wide-leg or boot-cut denim. Choose one style or several. Mix it up with moto-style denim, distressed jeans or graffiti print denim for an unexpected aesthetic. Or get the kids a classic denim jacket that goes with everything.
  • Brands: Find some of the best brands in your gift recipients’ sizes, including AKOO, True Religion, Levi’s and many others. Learn about how to care for denim here, no matter your chosen jean brand.

Trendy Winter 2022 Accessories

Want to know the best way to select winter accessories when shopping for stocking stuffers or white elephant parties? It’s simple: Go with warmth.
