Men's Gift Ideas

As the days grow cooler, and the sun sinks into the horizon earlier and earlier each day, it is time to turn our minds to exchanging our shorts and t-shirts for the more formal, warmer winter attire. This year there are many new trends to look forward to, and we can all look forward to some shopping (wait, who are we kidding?) Either way, men this season can be expected to look sharp and sophisticated, even in their pyjamas.

Here are a few of this season’s top fashion trends:

1) Clean lines are very important this season. Think crisp polo shirts paired with some nicely pressed khakis.

2) Keep warm with a classy cardigan. Before you cringe and think of your dad sitting in an arm chair smoking a pipe, take a look at this years styles. They are sharp and extremely handsome-looking.

3) Gone are the dreary browns and greys for the cooler months, now it is all about color. Pair a dark purple, red or indigo blue shirt with some black pants and you will be styling.

4) Pinstripes are very popular. You can pair pinstripe pants with a pinstriped dress shirt and you immediately look classy, not to mention taller.

5) Are you bored of the modern, boring blazers? Then consider this year’s retro styles, coming in great colors and patterns, with funky lapels and elbow patches.

6) If you’re tired of khaki, then try out some twill flat front pants. These are great for any occasion, from work to dinner.

7) Neckties are coming back in popularity. Choose any style you want, and remember that anyone with a tie automatically looks better than someone without one.

8] Jeans are always in style, however this year’s styles are more form fitting and straight cut. Stick to dark blues and pair with a dress shirt (and a blazer too) to go for that slightly eccentric yet adorable look.

9) Funky rock ‘n roll t-shirts are great for casual wear. This doesn’t mean that you should unearth your 15 year old Van Halen tee, go for a new shirt that fits well and looks good.

10) Keep accessories to a minimum. For work or out on a date a nice watch and a pair of cufflinks will do the trick.

So there you are. By adding a few key pieces to your wardrobe you can be on top of today’s fall and winter trends.

Before you know it, it’s going to be Father’s Day, and if you’re like me, you’re going to be rushing to the mall at the eleventh hour (the hour exactly after Amazon Prime can ship to you for free) to find a pair of shoes or a tie clip or a box of cigars or, or…or something. Because if there’s one thing he doesn’t want, it’s another bargain-bin tie with a sports team logo on it.

I can’t make you more punctual, but I can suggest some great Father’s Day gift ideas for the son (or daughter) in a bind.

Of course I’m going to suggest cufflinks. Because they’re formal wear, they convey a message of classy sophistication just as well as a $250 bottle of scotch would. Not that you have to spend that much. If you know where to shop (hint), you can find high-quality Father’s Day gifts without spending an extravagant amount. If Dad likes being the King of his Castle, snag him these Royal Crown cufflinks (which happen to be discounted by 51% right now).

If you do want to go ahead and get Dad a tie, don’t settle for anything less than the best – a 100% silk necktie is another classy Father’s Day gift. He’s going to expect a tie, but he won’t expect one this nice.

The best thing about our ties is that they’re paired with matching cufflinks. But that’s just my opinion.

So if you’re starting to panic about not having the perfect gift, go ahead and check out our ties, cufflinks, and other Father’s Day gifts before it’s too late.
