If you’ve got that kind of relationship, why not go for lingerie?! If you don’t know her bra size (most men don’t) stick to the bralette (a bra without a cup) and figure out whether she’s a small, medium or large (come on, it can’t be that hard).

Vintage Escada. Full Stop. I usually have a rule about buying clothes as gifts for girls (sizing & we’re just too damn picky), but if you come across a vintage designer piece like this– bag it! She’ll eat it up. Stick to clothing like cardigans, loose jackets where sizing isn’t a huge issue.
