Father ' s Day Gift Ideas
Sunday the 18th of June is Father's Day and maybe some will think that a post written now is a bit early, but with the hectic life we lead and very little spare time, it is better to look for a gift now rather than end up the day before with the usual tie or socks. Yes socks and ties are featured in this post but they are very stylish and not something grabbed at the supermarket and chucked in the trolley.
Dr Martens is an iconic British brand well known for its punk/rock boots in various colours. But Dr Martens has got a range of shoes that are classic as well as having all the details of the Dr Martens that we know. The Oasis suede three eye brogue in mid blue and chestnut are made in England in partnership with CF Stead & Co and its suede. From the same range you can find the Arthur Oasis suede boot in mid grey. www.drmartens.com
A young dad might appreciate this Classic Redford messenger bag by Gola in nylon. This is another British brand that has been present for decades, actually with Gola we are talking about a century, trading in trainers. This messenger bag is great if daddy is a cyclist or uses a scooter to go around in the city. www.gola.co.uk
A pyjama is a classic Father's Day gift, but when you choose Hanro it turns out as a chic Father's Day gift.The quality of Hanro nightwear and underwear for men is excellent and the new SS17 collection has got a lovely palette of pale blue and nice patterns. Check online to find stockists or to shop directly at www.hanro.com
Sporty dad? Nothing beats a S'well Bottle where he can keep his drink hot for 12 hours or cold for 24 hours. The patterns are beautiful and the choice is huge, you can go from the very colourful ones to this set in black and white. www.swellbottle.com
Christy's Hats has been making headware since 1773 and it is an iconic British brand. If your dad likes to wear a hat the Breton cap in black Panama Straw or the Balmoral flat cap in cranberry linen could be a good idea for an unusual yet stylish gift. Check for stockists and to see the new collection at www.christys-hats.com
This gorgeous Oxford laptop briefcase by Australian brand Jekyll & Hide is made of butter soft and beautiful leather. There is an inside iPad pouch, a main compartment for a 15" laptop, space for chargers and other tech essentials and pockets at the front and at the back. I love that vintage look. www.jekyllandhide.com.au
Trainers now can be worn not only at the gym. The new term for trainers worn outside of a sport field is Athleisure. These Luke 1977 Runner* in navy are great. They are lightweight with faux suede details and a knitted pattern. Check for more ideas at www.luke1977.com
Socks are a classic for Father's Day but Penrose Socks are classic with a twist and selecting a few pairs will be a great gift for any fashion conscious dad or for a dapper gentleman who likes a bit of colours. Check on the website for a stockist or if you prefer to buy online at www.penrose-london.com
Nothing beats a good tie and with Simon Carter collection of silk ties you won't go wrong. Also at Simon Carter you can find so many gift ideas for your dad from cufflinks, to pocket squares or watches and small leather goods accessories. www.simoncarter.net
These two power bracelets from Thomas Sabo are really great. The skull detail and the matt tiger's eyes beads or matt obsidian beads make a powerful piece of men jewellery. These beads are known to be protective talismans and they are inspired by the Buddhist prayer beads. The skulls are in sterling silver. www.thomassabo.com
