FOR THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE
FATHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE:
Fatherhood comes in all shapes and sizes, which is why we’re taking a moment to celebrate all the men who feature in our lives. Whether you’re spoiling him with something special by way of a Bottega Veneta bag, stepping things up with a pair of fresh Off-White sneakers or giving your pops a long overdue pamper with Creed, these are the gifts to treat him to this Father’s Day.
Here’s to the characters that raised us right. This June, it’s all about you. And we’re celebrating the FLANNELS way.
THE PERFECT BAG
There are a lot of ways to say I love you, but we recommend doing it with a designer handbag. Christian Louboutin’s Funky Weekend Bag or Givenchy’s Travel Bag are the ideal size for everything from gym trips mid-week to nights away at the weekend. If he’s in need of something smaller but equally polished, Bottega Veneta’s Small Veneto slots perfectly across the body. While Prada’s Nylon Messenger Shoulder Bag was made for dad’s who crave practicality in their lives. Papas got a brand-new bag.
THE STAPLE SNEAKER
What dad doesn’t love to open up a pair of box fresh trainers come Father’s Day? Exactly. Off-White’s signature Out Of Office Sneakers have had a refresh with new colourways, whilst retaining their iconic arrow motif. New Balance’s 2002 offer the chunky, dad sneaker style they’ve become known for in multiple hues. Our favourite? The ‘Eclipse’ which features an array of blues. And adidas originals have been busy creating another hyped collection with Wales Bonner. The Karintha come in a soft, earthy suede that’ll work for a multitude of occasions
THE SIGNATURE SCENT
A bottle of something special will always make a good gift. Case in point? Creed’s Aventus Eau de Parfum. Fresh, fruity and woody, it’s a special fragrance that’s bound to make them feel spoilt come June 15th. Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather is a long-lasting, leathery scent that’s perfect for evenings out, while Montblanc’s Sunrise Pour Homme fragrance, complete with notes of pink peppercorn, vetiver and suede, will please even the most dapper of dads.
THE BEAUTY GIFT
The key to all good rest and relaxation? Luxe grooming treats. For his day-to-day, a next-level shaving cream is a must-have, and the Clarins Shave and Beard Oil is exactly that. Running low on his lotions and potions? Opt for Philip Kingsley’s Density Preserving Scalp Drops, which will be his hair’s best mate. Or if his face needs a helping hand, Prada Beauty’s Augmented Skin Toner and Micro Peel Essence combines two powerful treatments in one; strengthen his skin’s natural barrier and promoting cell turnover. Smart.
THE LUXE ACCESORY
Giving the things you’d love for yourself is a sure-fire way of nailing gifting. Off-White’s Off Arthur Sunglasses are classic enough to work hard in his summer wardrobe, but come with Off-White’s signature logo to the side, for those who know. Represent’s Overdrive Cap brings the brand’s signature vintage aesthetic in the shape of a sports-car inspired cap. While Vivienne Westwood’s Embossed Card holder will help him keep his money close to hand. Ideal for when you next need taxi money…
THE HOME BUY
Your dad something of a host? Help him keep his guests entertained (and well hydrated) with the best home gifts for Father’s Day. Stock up the bar with Tom Dixon’s Whiskey Glasses. And when the drinks run out look to Printworks Poker Set - a thing of beauty – and Assouline’s collection of must-have books to amuse.
