a subscription to a good fashion magazine that might appeal to her.

While a great deal of the content in such magazines is ridiculous, ("bargain" shoes for only $300, etc.) it does help a woman to peruse them once in a while so her look doesn't "freeze" a decade or two in the past. It may be unfortunate, but looking like you live in the real world does help in social and business interactions.

Really don't know you or your wife, so it's hard to make recommendations. Maybe a good book or two on style? Lucky magazine has a good one; Linda Dano put a good book out years ago on how to build a basic wardrobe. I'm sure there are others.

Another idea would be to hire someone; an image consultant, who could help clear out the closet of duds, and organize a basic wardrobe based on your wife's interests and lifestyle. Now that would be a present!
