What to buy him for Father’s Day
Great gifts for the father figure in your life.
GREAT GIFTS FOR THE FATHER FIGURE IN YOUR LIFE
Father’s day is around the corner, so now’s the time to start thinking about what to gift the father figure in your life. What do they want or need? Are they in dire need of some summer essentials or an accessory to make their commute that much easier? Whether you’re spending the day with your dad, your uncle, your grandad or someone else, it’s worth investing in something that will make them feel special and appreciated. Here are our top picks for Father’s Day gifts this year.
Practical accessories, elevated
If your dad’s old rucksack needs a serious upgrade, get him one that will last him a lifetime (and look good too). A backpack made from sleek black textured leather ticks all the boxes, and has ample room to hold all his essentials. For work or weekend, he’ll be picking it up again and again. If he does need something a bit smarter, an attache bag will hold all his business essentials as well as those loose papers. Add a matching leather wallet into the mix if he keeps losing his change.
Hot weather essentials
There’s nothing quite like a linen shirt in the summer. Breathability combined with a lightweight feel makes it the ideal warm-weather fabric. These will be a staple in your dad’s wardrobe over the summer months – he can pair them with anything from chino shorts to pleated trousers, and even wear them on the beach. Pick one up in every colour.
Shirts you can wear anywhere
Another warm-weather essential, your dad can never have enough short-sleeve shirts. For more formal events, a short-sleeve Oxford will look great on its own or worn tostay cooler under a suit jacket. Our comes in a tailored fit and features all the components of a classic Oxford shirt, minus the long sleeves. Wear it with the top button undone and a pair of chinos to ease the look up a bit.
Polo shirts are a classic smart-casual piece that will never go out of style. He can wear one to the office, to the pub and any other summer events he’s got planned.
The finishing touches
You can’t go wrong with a pair of solid trainers. If your dad spends his days in loafers or brogues, gift him a pair of shoes he’ll love to kick back in at the weekend. Crafted from leather and suede, they’ll see him through casual work events too, especially when paired with a relaxed suit or chinos.
As for socks, you can never have too many pairs. Grab him one in every colour so he stops wearing the ones with all the holes. Ours are extra soft and crafted from mercerised cotton, making them brighter in colour, stronger and less likely to shrink in the wash.
