Double Eleven gifting: practical ways to choose scarves and belts

Double Eleven is close, and the question most people have asked these past few days is about gifting. Buying for yourself is easiest. Buying for a partner, mother or friend, think of one thing first: what colours the person wears day to day, what bag they carry. Once that is clear, you will not get muddled in the shop.

The Gucci scarf is light khaki, 180x45cm, 70% wool and 30% silk. It is thin, suited to a friend who wears a suit jacket and sits in an office. Fold it once and hang it round the neck, both ends down the front, with a white shirt or grey knit. For a mother, this colour suits most skin tones, one loop round the neck is warm enough, right for 19–24°C weather.

The Burberry scarf shawl is 100% wool, 200x30cm, thick to the touch. This one suits someone who feels the cold, or a partner who walks about outside at night. It is long enough to wrap twice and tie a loose knot, and sits well with a suit or long coat. For a friend, this one is practical, useful for the bus and the cinema in winter.

For belts and jewellery, for a partner choose a belt with a simple buckle, useful with jeans or suit trousers day to day. For a mother, choose a necklace that is not too chunky, right with a round-neck top.
