India Reynolds, lingerie collection designer at Pour Moi and model, and Chelsea Mtada, founder of a sex and wellness newsletter Nightstand, share their tips on how to bag the ultimate gift for your partner this Christmas.
What's the best way to discern your partner's style?
India: Think about the colours they usually wear. Do they stick to neutral tones, like creams, beige, black and white, or do they wear colour and patterns? If they wear oversized clothing such as big jumpers or non-fitting dresses, they probably won't like a bodycon dress or mini skirt.
Chelsea: If you're buying perfume, ask them what scent they like and then use that information when you go shopping to find the most suitable option. A lot of people attach perfume to their personality, which means buying the right one can be difficult, but it's an amazing gift if you get it right.
Is asking their friends for advice ever a good idea?
India: Yes! Often some of my friends drop hints to each other about what's on their Christmas gift list in case their partners quiz them on what they might like.

Album review: The same Harry Styles, only better. Techno, very occasionally
Harry Styles is not a risk-taker. While much is made of his androgynous style (the first man to wear a skirt on the cover of Vogue!) or mammoth stadium tours (30 nights at Madison Square Garden!), the biggest risk Styles has ever taken was in 2016, when he and his One Direction bandmates decided to go on indefinite hiatus, prompting the start of their solo careers.
