Who’s your daddy?

Make your father’s day.

There’s nobody quite like your dad so, this Father’s Day, give him a gift that shows you appreciate the kind of man he is.

The question is: who’s your daddy?

THE RISK TAKER

He might be your old man, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to give up on looking young. Always ready to try something new, this dad’s all about taking a few risks to show he’s still got his finger on the pulse.

Give new meaning to the term ‘dad style’ and gift him classic menswear with unexpected details. A sharply cut, tropical-print shirt, silver astronaut cufflinks, rubber-soled leather sneakers or a reversible belt for when he wants to mix it up are all guaranteed to freshen his style game. Flamingo socks? Well, even Risk Taker dads aren’t immune to a novelty sock now and then.

THE MAN OF TASTE

He might not know the ins and outs of a Snapchat filter, but this dad is still top of the pops when it comes to dressing like a gent. From what he drinks, to what he drives to what he puts on his feet: he’s a stickler for the finer things in life.

Do the father of good taste proud and give him gentlemanly gifts that’ll suit his refined style. Our picks? A pure cotton double cuff shirt to add some luxury to his working week, an elegant paisley pocket square to help him stand out at his next social occasion or a pair of sophisticated leather brogues to thank him for treading such a well-dressed path for you.

THE LABEL LOVER

The label lover dad is no ordinary dad, so he likes the things he wears to be a little out of the ordinary to show that he’s his own man.

If this is your dad, then bog-standard socks just aren’t going to cut it. Instead, go for gifts with a little designer flair like a well-designed document bag that beats any boring briefcase or chunky soled brogues to help him march to his unique beat.

And, who knows? If you treat him to an extra nice designer wallet to keep his notes in, he might be more inclined to give you some out of it from time to time.

Choices, choices

How to look sick at prom

It’s prom time. You need to look sharp. In my opinion – and let’s face it, mine’s the only one that matters – you’ve got three options.

1. One Night Stand

Fancy some new threads but not sure you’re ready to lock it down? A cheeky little hire suit means you’ve got a fresh look for the night without dropping serious dollar.

And the morning after? Take it back. Job done.

2. Wife It

You’re a young guy, but trust me: if a good suit comes along, a real man knows when to commit. You’re going to need a suit on more occasions than prom. If it’s a keeper, buy it and you’ve got a sharp option that’ll do you for life.

Or at least until you grow out of it – #gains

3. TAILOR IT

Finally – and this is my personal preference – you can customise it.

What does that mean? It means you can go all out and get your suit exactly how you like it. Peak lapels? Done. Sick fabric? Done.

An ‘I Love My Mum’ monogram? Go for it, son.

Q Mike x Tailor Me

It’s always a treat to see our Tailor Me suits out in the world and we loved seeing photographer Q Mike show off his creation in suitably elegant style at Daunt Books in London’s Marylebone.

Mike opted for a navy wool 3-piece in a skinny fit with a subtle chalk pinstripe. We think his choices of a traditional notch lapel, straight pockets and light grey buttons are a fine match for the book shop’s grand Edwardian architecture.

Here’s what he had to say about his Tailor Me suit:

“I always love a well-tailored suit and this was everything I had in mind, it was perfectly made. With the Tailor Me suit personalisation service, Moss. has paid meticulous attention to my needs and made this into a dream come true. Being in a new suit that’s so comfortable and flexible to move around in, it feels great knowing that it’s a staple I can count on for meetings and events I have in town.”

Check out his post to see more of his shoot and if you fancy taking a leaf out of Mike Q’s book and getting your very own custom-made suit, you can find out more about the service here then drop by one of our stores to talk to a Tailoring Expert to start your Tailor Me experience.
