For the jewelry-obsessed tastemaker in your life, look no further than JLANI Jewels.

Gaia Hooded Printed Robe ($292)

Fisayo Longe founded Kai Collective in 2016, four years before the brand went viral with its highly praised Gaia dress. The London-based style authority makes it her duty to design clothes that help women feel most confident and discover who they are. As a fashion and travel blogger, Longe began by sourcing fabrics and developing them into monumental creations, setting the standard for Kai Collective's ethos — attainable luxury that doesn't compromise quality. One of her most impressive expansions is loungewear, seen through this vibrant robe inspired by the brand's signature print. The epitome of comfort meets style, this piece works inside and outside the house.

Established in 2018 by multihyphenate Rihanna, Savage X Fenty prides itself on celebrating femininity and individuality with sultry lingerie and confident-evoking sleepwear designed for everyone, regardless of their body shape or size. While well-known for these pieces, the brand has since expanded into statement-making options that you'll want to wear outside the house, like this distressed slip dress.

BB Studio Mini Jersey Dress ($20)

Since breaking the internet with their viral "End Systemic Racism" bag, Brandon Blackwood has amassed a reputation for being one of the industry's most respected accessory brands.

This jacquard vest is a stunning representation of such, complete with a joyful scene of two ladies dancing and inviting colors in their background.

All the women in your life deserve a Maya Winston bag. The New York-based label's eponymous founder prides himself on crafting luxury accessories that marry his Jamaican roots and innate love for design.

Winston has since graduated to silhouettes that evoke even more confidence, like this bonded leather and tweed bowling bag.
