Grills, drills, and electronics are common gifts for dads year-round. But, why not consider his wardrobe?
Maybe your man is into fashion (or, you want him to be). Or, you’d like to treat him because he would never splurge on clothing for himself. If women can dress well (and comfortably) from the coffee shop and gym to the airport and happy hour, why can’t guys? They now can!
My husband has slowly updated his closet with tops and bottoms that last longer, look nicer, and make him feel confident in what he’s wearing — to work, at home, and around town.
So to give you ideas, I raided his closet and polled our friends to compile a list of must-haves. These pieces are meant-to-last and according to my buddies, are ranked with 5-stars in comfort, style and versatility. Enjoy browsing!
While a variety of price points are listed – remember that some brands/stores hold annual sales or offer discounts with email sign-ups. So, scroll for that deal or check out knowing that you’re buying him something nice for your special gift and that will hold up over time.
