GIFT IDEAS FOR THE fashionista IN YOUR LIFE

For the next few weeks, the Keys Weekly will feature a local gift guide for the purposes of making the holidays simple and bright. We’re supporting local, small businesses and hope our readers will too. The gifts on this page are perfect for the fashionista in your life, the one who interprets “Keys Casual” like an “Insta” trendsetter. 

WEAR? EVERYWHERE

Slip into something more comfortable. Handmade, super-soft kimonos come in more than 24 unique colors and patterns to fit every style and wardrobe. Wear them as a beach cover-up, a lounging robe, or with pants, skirts and dresses to work, happy hour or date night. KIRBY’S CLOSET, Key West, $88

NEW-TO-YOU VINTAGE STYLE

Key West’s newest resale boutique offers gently used, top-notch clothing, accessories, jewelry and home goods at prices and sizes that fit absolutely everyone. KIRBY’S CLOSET, Key West, Studded boots, $48; vintage purse $98; wineglass $14.

SLIP INTO STYLE, PART 2

These are not your grandma’s jeans (but she could wear them and rock them, too). We think the Ethyl line of denim should qualify for a Nobel prize: they slip on, flatter any figure and come with little style embellishments. ANTHONY’S, Marathon and Key Largo, starting at $70.

SLIP INTO STYLE

Slip-ons are all grown up in 2020: trendy, super comfortable and stylish. The Ilse Jacobsen line sold at DK’s Beach Boutique is lightweight, breathable and durable — available in a rainbow of colors. DK’S BEACH BOUTIQUE, Marathon, $79.

 

MARISOL WALLET

This Napa leather wallet has retro detail with modern flair. ISLAND DREAMZ, ISLAMORADA. $68

 

 

 

BEACH HAPPY SHIRT

These 30A shirts are made from recycled plastic bottles that could otherwise end up in the oceans. Every super soft 30A shirt saves eight plastic bottles from entering the landfill. They’re blended with cotton, so they’re incredibly soft. SHELL WORLD, Key Largo. $26.99

COSTA DEL MAR WATERWOMAN II

WaterWoman was the very first female-focused performance frame in our history, and now they’ve made a larger version. The seamless blend of style with elegant performance details and 100% UV protection polarized lens mean these frames, and the women who rock them, are ready for anything the water has to offer. TROPICAL OPTICAL, 

ISLAMORADA. $179
