Who are we kidding? Shopping for men can be difficult. He always says he doesn't know what he wants or he is disappointed with the surprise gift he got. Knowing his personality will lead you in the right direction. Here's a gift guide for the personality driven male.
Corporate Dad – The newest rage right now is mixing patterns and prints in menswear. Get away from the plain white or blue dress shirt. Make it hip and happening with a plaid shirt and a paisley tie. But, remember these few things:
-Same pattern, different scale
-Pick accent color in shirt and pull it out with the tie
-Solids balance patterns
-Tie and lapel width should balance
-Keep scale equal to offset multiple patterns
(from Saks Fifth Avenue Style Guidelines)
Casual Dad – Taken from the expertise of my hubby who LOVES the Tommy Bahama brand. Lives in the TB Tshirts in the summer with their sassy spin of fun logos. The fabrics are lightweight and airy for the warm temperatures.
Crafts for Dad – Kids reach certain ages where they want to be part of picking/choosing gifts. Have them help MAKE the gifts for Dad. Gifts don’t have to break the bank – the heartfelt touch to a gift is priceless.
