Father’s Day 2018: Five best gifts for stylish dads
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Father’s Day is fast approaching – this year it falls on June 17 – and it offers the perfect opportunity to really say thank you to the man who has shown you unconditional love over the years.
But this time round let’s take a break from the practical home appliances, pairs of socks and “World’s Best Dad” mugs and give him something he really wants instead.
If your dad, grandfather, step-dad or father-in-law is the kind of guy that knows a thing or two about personal style, there are luckily plenty of ways you can indulge his interests and spoil him at the same time.
Shopping for a fashionable fella? Then why not give him a gift that’s as incredible and reliable as he is.
Something that will really set him and his style apart from the crowd, a watch is both a practical and indulgent offering. We suggest investing in something from Scandinavian brand Skagen that, while minimalist in design, promises maximum style points.
Alternatively, pep up his back pocket with a high-style accessory like a sleek cardholder from Filson. Made from sumptuous leather, their offerings put a stylish spin on an otherwise everyday essential.
You could also help to update his wardrobe for summer – but if you’re worried about getting it wrong, stick to something like a classic T-shirt in an agreeable colour.
If the guy in your life is more into grooming than garb, you could also spoil him with some pint-sized skincare for his travels or a new luxurious fragrance.
As far as new launches go, Chanel’s new variation Bleu de Chanel Parfum is a failsafe option, while those who prefer something a little different should opt for a zesty seasonal scent like Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino.
