The Holiday Gifts That Will Earn You Compliments All Year Long

NYLON’s senior social strategist shares her holiday faves.

by Erin Cunningham

Kelly Reed is no stranger to compliments — especially when she wears her Timberland® boots. NYLON’s senior social media strategist styles them with her signature mix of hyper-feminine and masculine-influenced pieces, allowing a classic lug sole or platform boot to feel fresh and unexpected. Whether she’s in a princess-coded look with rugged footwear or a high-low blend of an oversized T-shirt, blazer, and Chelsea boot, “I like your boots” is a refrain that follows her wherever she goes.

The only thing better than the gift of flattery is the gift of style. That’s why Reed is ensuring her friends and family are all unwrapping Timberland® this holiday season.

"I'm giving my loved ones something that will last them through seasons to come,” she shares. “Timberland® boots are the perfect gift because they're functional, yet timeless and stylish.” These are shoes that will outlast heavy wear and fleeting trends. Reed knows the beauty of their versatility — they’re her companion for weekdays in the office, casual plans on the weekend, and running errands around the city alike — and that multipurpose ability is so rare (but appreciated!) when it comes to gift giving.

From chunky Chelsea boots to hiking-inspired styles, Timberland® also encourages you to get outside and make memories, no matter the season, Reed notes. “I love when the gift of style serves a greater purpose." With waterproofing, insulation, rugged soles, and durable craftsmanship, Timberland® keeps you ready for whatever conditions your day might bring. What’s better than a present that inspires movement just as much as it does fashion?
