Christmas is fast approaching and soon you will be running around buying gifts at the last minute. If you are looking for a gift for men, here are a few ideas relating to menswear, since you are on a menswear site!
Shirts
We couldn’t help but start with that one! Shirts only make a great gift if they are going to be used. If he doesn’t need to wear a shirt for work or doesn’t like wearing a shirt, forget about it.
To give a shirt as a gift, get his size right – you will need the shirt collar unless it will never be worn with a tie, for e.g. casual shirts.
In terms of colours, it is best to stick to the trusted white or blue shirt. They are always needed. If you are going to get a shirt with double cuffs, add a pair of cufflinks unless you know he already has some.
Ties
A safer option that shirt is to give a tie. Again, if he doesn’t wear a shirt, a tie on its own is pretty useless. Even if he wears a shirt for work, he may rarely need to wear a tie. Nevertheless, a tie can come in useful for an interview, especially in these turbulent economic times. Don’t go wild when choosing a tie, stick with classic patterns – plain and stripes. No Mickey Mouse tie that will never get worn please! Oh, and you can add a tie clip for a special touch.
Shirts, cufflinks, ties and tie clips all go together. A tie-clip is nothing without a tie, a tie is nothing without a shirt and cufflinks are useless with French cuffs. So only go down these roads if he wears a shirt. Else, try our next great idea.
Socks
Men wear socks much more frequently than women who can get away with sandals and open shoes. So every man needs plenty of pairs of socks. But giving a pair of plain socks can be a pretty boring gift. Fortunately, there can be much more to socks that white or black colours.
Go for luxury socks. If he is an outdoor guy, pick specialised socks that prevent blisters, have special support for heels, are thermal or even waterproof. Or go for top brands. You’ll find plenty of socks to choose from our collection.
Gloves
Lucky you, it’s winter this time of the year, so gloves make a perfect gift. Leather gloves look particularly stylish and smart so if that’s his style, go for it.
Belts
Belts are like socks – needed most of the time. Don’t pick an ordinary-looking one which he may have already. Choose one that stands out from the crowd without having to look bright pink! A black or brown belt is fine but choose a buckle that is slightly different.
Shoes
Shoes are a no-no because unless he tries them on, chances are that they are not going to fit. So why did we mention shoes then? Only to discourage you! Try slippers instead.
You’ll find all accessories here. Happy shopping.
