As a Stylist I have many male clients. I am also asked by my female and male clients to buy gifts for men. For some reason, people always find giving gifts to men challenging. I find it fun! It’s always one of my favorite gift guides to do.
Many men wear sneakers when they are dressing casually or even going out at night, because they don’t want to wear their work shoes. Here is an opportunity to fill in their wardrobe gap and add a pop of color and a bit of interest to jeans, pants, and an outfit. A fun take on a classic, are the Paul Smith Men’s Blue Leather ‘Simmons’ Tasseled Loafers. They are not only a great addition to their wardrobe, but they can also keep adding to their collection as they come in many colorful choices. Another modern take on a classic are the Tom Ford Chase Double-Bar Aviator Sunglasses in blue. They have interesting and unusual lines, yet still are in the iconic aviator style.
I always think pocket squares and cuff links are great gifts to give and they also finish off an outfit. It’s a win-win! Here are some Geometrically Gorgeous Options. The Gucci Geometric G Print Pocket Square is as colorful as it is exquisite. The Tom Ford Dot Print Silk Pocket Square is a little more subdued in color, yet is still very Pop Art interesting. Cufflinks are always a great present. The Prada Silver And Enamel Cufflinks are an octagonal shape and their combination of colors makes them appear 3-Dimensional. The Montblanc Lacquered Stainless Steel Cube Cufflinks are Cubic-Chic.
Men, like women have items to carry, whether they are going to work, a leisure activity or travel. The Brooks England Pickzip Leather Backpack is a linearly pleasing option to the utilitarian and often unattractive backpack. It holds a 15” laptop in a designated sleeve. A great take on a weekender is the Valextra Pebble-Grain Leather Holdall, which is as organized as it is stunning. It opens up into four separate pouches: one for the laptop, one for the tablet, and the other two for all of your other items.
Tech-nically speaking of gifts…
The Oculus Rift + Touch Virtual Reality System will keep him exploring virtual worlds for hours. The Parrot Zik 3 Wireless Headphones are sleek, masculine, sophisticated, and modern. The Vaonis Stellina Smart Telescope will look as interesting in your home as the Universe you will see through it. One of the newest and most fascinating technologically advanced items is the Levi’s® Commuter X Jacquard By Google. It looks like the timeless trucker jacket, yet links to your mobile device via Bluetooth. By touching and doing certain movements on the cuff you can screen calls, get directions, and control your music.
Here are wonderful choices for the Art and Design aficionado in your life. The Three Graces Flask from the Metropolitan Museum of Art is sure to spark a conversation. The Herbert Bayer Porcelain Tray, which is a detail from Bayer’s Things To Come, is a useful catchall and is truly “eye-catching”! Yayoi Kusama Yellow Trees Skateboard Triptych is not only a piece of art for the street but would also look beautiful hung on your wall.
These are just a few of many more men’s gift items below for you to choose from! Happy gifting!
