Let’s take this opportunity to give the father figures in our life some pointers in the style department hey?
Leave the sentimental gifts they would like for Birthdays. Then for Holidays, take the time to bring them up-to-date in tech and style. I’ve thrown together a couple of stylish staples every guy should have no matter their age. I’m also sharing just in time for you to get that gift to them on the day if you order today-ish.
let’s go!
Classic Sunglasses
You cannot go wrong with these classic rounded shape sunglasses with gold and black accents. They’re not as try-hard as aviators and not as bulky as a Rayban. They’re certainly better than what 90% of dads are rocking thats for sure! ditch the petrol station sunnies and keep the cycling goggles for cycling Daddio!
2. The Classic ‘Cool Guy’ Terry Towelling Robe
The ultimate throwback ‘cool guy style’ your dad wanted to be!
It’s a new take on the mid 60s LA movie type robes all the stars wore in those cult classic films right?
They sit by the pool with a cigarette… Its a total #vibe.
This isn’t a plain old robe. Its something that’ll instantly elevate the god knows what PJs that man is wearing atm haha!
it’ll instantly effortlessly put his off duty look together.
3. The Ordinary - The Daily Set
A super affordable, 3 step gig that’s going to get that glow back!
It’s 2020 so let’s embrace a little bit of #selfcare mate? And hey, if he doesn’t use it then someone will I’m sure!
It’s a cleanser, hydrator and moisturiser. Simple products that will make a big difference! Now you’ve got to get them to wear some SPF 50+ and it’ll work miracles!
if you want more info on that check out my blog post on skincare here.
4. Huskee Keep Cup
These sleek, monochromatic keep cups are the perfect thing for Dads on the move.
Good for the environment and don’t lack in looks.
What’s not to love!? two sizes available.
I’m sure the guys at work are gonna think he’s pretty boujee for considering the planet and styling up his morning cuppa.
5. CHANELPLATINUM ÉGOÏSTE Cologne
Yep, it’s time to jazz up that scent Dads! or at least get a bit of variety going.
This Chanel Platinum Egoiste is a party pleaser. Its fresh, spring/summer esc, perfect for the office/weekend and light on the nose.
Not to mention not too pricey either. Win win!
6. Birkenstock Boston clog
You know, at first I can imagine some of you would be thinking ‘Loui, you said cool! these are clogs!’
But you know what?
I have a pair of these bad boys and I get compliments all the time thank you very much! haha!
I prefer these over regular birkenstock’s and other Summer shoes because they hide your toes! they keep you cool and rough finish suede is just a mood. Also, they dont stain! I have had mine for well over 12mnths now and they still look great with no water drop stains or anything!
They’re a relaxed, non pompous, well rounded alternative to a loafer. And they’re a hell of a lot more elevated then some thongs (flip-flops if you’re from the USA.)
Not to mention, have you noticed how peoples feet swell throughout the day?
Yeah, I pay attention to that. Last thing I want to do is ruin a look with my swollen hairy feet on display and neither should your Dad! So get the damn shoes Caren! 😂
7. ASCOLOUR - 5 basics for $120
ASCOLOUR is a basics store that has really nice quality clothes for a good price.
I especially love their deal of 5 items for $120. So pick Dad up a couple of nice thick crew necks, and some joggers.
Not only are they super comfortable but he’s going to always need these and wear the life out of them.
Clean-cut and simple is the way to go!
Also, the scrunchie cuff track-pants are my favourite go-to pair of pants these days in iso. They’re comfortable and hit the mark with all the late 80s / 90s trends we see around atm.
8. Leather Customised Phone Case.
By all means this is not a ground breaking gift. But perhaps something you might not have considered.
A nice clean phone for the everyday or special occasion will do wonders for your Dads phone.
I just like that it’s a gift that will be used a lot and makes a subtle, yet elevated statement.
9. ORBITKEY - Key Clip All Black
If you’re after something small or something to add on to a gift, I’d go one of these.
I think they’re sleek and super durable. I also think this style of key holder suits a variety of mens style.
Works in an urban and rural setting. Orbitkey also have other styles that have tracking devices which may be good for the forgetful dad in your life!
10. Google Nest Mini Smart Speaker
Cool, Cheap and does and great job! What’s not to love?
I especially love mine as its hooked up to my lights so I play music, turn the lights on and off and play ‘soft rain sounds’ when I go to sleep at night. The white noise just reduces any other random noises that occur in apartment buildings haha!
All done!
Hope this helped you out with some gift ideas for that father figure in your life! If you order something now they should be able to get it in time for Father’s Day. Don’t leave it too late!
Until next time!
