If the man in your life is due a present soon and happens to be stylish too, then you might want to find a gift that befits their personal style and treats them at the same time. After all, there’s nothing wrong with investing in the odd item – or maybe three! Finding pieces that have been well-made and crafted for long-term use will get far more wear and enjoyment than a fast-fashion substitute that needs to be thrown out after a few uses. With that in mind, here are a few luxurious items that should belong in any stylish man’s abode.
Brogues
Many men resent having to shell out on an expensive pair of shoes that they’ll only ever wear to black tie events, but brogues don’t just have to be the reserve of formal evening wear. The infamous pattern around the tip of the shoes instantly adds an element of sophistication to any outfit choice. Of course, they will add an old-style sense of class to a black tie outfit, but a casual evening outfit can be smartened up by a simple addition of a pair of brogues. Whether you go for black, chestnut brown or ox-blood is down to personal taste.
A tailored coat
A tailored coat is the finishing touch to any stylish man’s wardrobe. For example, a Gloverall peacoat not only adds structure to an outfit but also an element of class. Having buttons as not merely a way of fastening a coat but a design feature in their own right will pull the whole outfit together. Choosing colors such as black and grey will compliment just about any outfit choice or suit, regardless of what color you pick out.
Quality cologne
We’ve all received cheaper, more artificial-smelling cologne as part of a Christmas present set or toiletries package. However, investing in good-quality cologne for men is just as important as investing in a good coat or a well-fitting pair of jeans. Companies such as Chanel and Tom Ford have extremely high-quality colognes that have been endlessly researched using established perfumeries.
A unique watch
It’s assumed that when a present for a man involves a watch, it will be a diamond-studded, multi-faceted timepiece from an expensive retailer. It’s true that a gift like that would indeed be luxurious, but if the man in your life is incredibly stylish, he won’t necessarily be going for what’s immediately obvious. Choosing a watch with a fine leather strap or one that makes dazzling use of bold colors could be a luxurious asset to his wardrobe.
A silk scarf
It’s possible to imagine a silk scarf as being a feminine item that comes in thinner proportions and in more pastel-shade colors. However, silk scarfs are not necessarily gendered and are not only luxurious but also multi-dimensional when it comes to color. A good silk scarf should not only feel high-quality but should also give off a vibrant color that will pop on top of any coat or jumper.
Being stylish isn’t just about cultivating the perfect wardrobe, but also curating your overall look. Wearing a cologne that makes you smell great, glasses that show off your face shape and shoes that give your outfit a hint of class all come together to create effortless style.
I think that these re unique items. My husband would not have worn the brogues, but would have appreciated everything else.
these are real nice gifts. I will have to keep them in mind. Thank you for the ideas.
