The Best Father's Day Gift's & Accessories
In a world where fashion doesn’t typically pivot around men, Father’s Day offers the perfect opportunity to flip the switch. Cue our Father's Day Gift Guide. Forget fast trend cycles better suited to the young and free, this dad-centric edit takes a 360 approach, finding inspiration in everything from the rugged appeal of classic American style to directional takes on luxury leisurewear. Read on for our rundown of the best menswear designers to invest in this Father’s Day—no cliches included.
Double RL — Elevated Menswear
There’s perhaps no name more synonymous with timeless American menswear than Ralph Lauren. While the mainline collection is replete with signature statements, his premium line, Double RL (or RRL), is a wearable alternative and a perfect reflection of Lauren’s own look. Drawing inspiration from cowboy culture, Native American pattern making, and an overlap of Japanese/American ideas, this effortless label, with a loyal following, is known for meticulous craftsmanship and luxury materials. And with the recent Western resurgence taking over the runways, now is the perfect time for your dad to take it on—boots and whiskey, optional.
John Hardy — Timeless Artisanal Jewelry
Since its beginnings in 1975, John Hardy’s artisanal jewelry collection has paid homage to the rich, time-honored traditions of Bali, Indonesia. And nearly half a century on, the company stays true to that ideal by employing over 500 multi-generational craftspeople from the region.
Sustainability is at the forefront of the John Hardy ethos—only ethically produced and conflict-free stones, diamonds, and metals are used to construct these handmade pieces, realized through meditative, communal chain-weaving, hand-hammering and carving practices.
So, if your dad meticulously scrutinizes the integrity of the brands he supports, consider gifting him one of these bracelets, necklaces, or rings—rendered in gold or silver—that exude a sense of geometric harmony and help keep an important tradition alive.
Casablanca — Contemporary Aprés-Sport
A fusion of luxury and leisurewear, Charaf Tajer's menswear line—designed in Paris and made in Casablanca—is the ideal choice for a fashion-forward dad. Known for vibrant colors, bold prints, and impeccable tailoring these of-the-moment pieces exude an irresistible bon vivant that adds a sense of considered cool to any contemporary menswear wardrobe.
Citing a heady mix of references from Mexico’s colonial architecture to the Grand Prix, each directional collection tells a story that seamlessly fuses art, travel, and culture together. From embroidered bomber jackets to souvenir-style shirts, Casablanca’s penchant for the laidback lifestyle resonates with modern men everywhere. In short, a piece from this label is likely a vehicle for self-expression your dad will truly love.
Rick Owens — For the Fashion-Foward Father
Arguably one of the most important designers of this generation, Rick Owens’ approach to menswear emphasizes silhouettes and proportions to accentuate the human body.
His avant-garde designs, characterized by monochromatic, asymmetrical silhouettes and schemes have challenged traditional notions of menswear. Owens' use of luxurious and unconventional materials, such as exotic leathers, fur, and distressed fabrics, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, has created a new standard of sophistication in menswear.
Owens has built an empire in the avant-garde ecosystem by blending elements of streetwear, gothic influences, minimalism, brutalism, and high fashion, shaping a new paradigm in contemporary menswear. Rick Owens has not only influenced the way men dress but has also inspired a new generation of designers to explore uncharted territories and embrace their unique creative visions.
If your dad is a fashion enthusiast, consider a timeless or standout piece from Rick Owens.
Level Up Your Dad’s Style This Father’s Day
Rather than purchasing the usual fallback gifts, consider investing in quality pieces that share a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation with a heady dose of cool mixed in. Encouraging your dad to experiment with style will only increase his confidence, making it a win-win for everyone involved. So, this Father’s Day, why not encourage him to embrace the transformative power of fashion? Or, simply remind him that he always deserves to look and feel his best.
