You have an avid golfer in your life and wish to gift them something useful and creative. Well-meaning shoppers often think that heading to a big-box sports store yields the best results. However, most items sold at such locales are things that golfers wish to …
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. Elevate his favorite timepiece by pairing it with sleek silicone watch bands that combine style and functionality. These versatile straps not only add a modern touch but also ensure long-lasting comfort, making them a perfect accessory for the man who values both sophistication and practicality.
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.

This DieHard 1700 Lumens Flashlight is my husband’s go-to flashlight. He uses it all over the inside and outside of our home when working on projects. A few days ago he was up on the roof fixing some shingles and the flashlight rolled down and hit the ground. It’s still in perfect running condition. This flashlight is meant to be used, not sitting around in your junk drawer. It’s built to last you a very long time!
He loves how easy it is to use. He just gives it a twist and he can zoom in and out the amount of light that he needs. The 1700 Lumens light is bright enough to light up 1/2 of our front yard as you can see in my photo. That photo was taken late at night in pitch blackness and you can see individual blades of glass and part of our driveway pavement. Yes, it’s that bright which is perfect for when you need to see at night.
Hubby told me that this is the EXACT type of flashlight that he recommends to all of his HVAC employees. They can use it for any job that they need to tackle and he appreciates that it’s made out of durable anodized aluminum. His techs can be hard on tools & flashlights and this flashlight can stand up to daily use! Buy and use what the professionals use!!!
