1. The Timeless Denim Jacket reimagined

You can't go wrong with a classic denim jacket. It's the epitome of effortless cool, transcending trends and suiting almost any personal style. These days, they come in countless shapes and designs. Consider your dad’s style; a deep denim blue jacket with a boxy cut, or a lighter wash with an oversized, relaxed fit.

The versatility of the denim jacket also means it can be paired with many of dad’s favourite outfits and across seasons. Throw it over a plain white tee and chinos for a refined look or with jeans and layered over a hoodie for a more casual feel.

2. The Smart-Casual Overshirt

The overshirt has cemented its place as a wardrobe essential, bridging the gap between a shirt and a light jacket. Often made from sturdier fabrics, they provide a laid-back yet relaxed fit, it’s relaxed fit achieving that smart-casual look while offering comfort and style that dad is after.

Lightweight and easy to wear, it’s perfect for transitional weather. It can be worn buttoned up with tailored pants for a more refined look or unbuttoned over a simple t-shirt, paired with jeans or chinos and sneakers or boots for a relaxed vibe. For cooler weather, an overshirt makes an excellent mid-layer over a thin sweater or under a heavier coat.

3. The Functional and Fashionable Utility Jacket

For the dad who appreciates practicality without sacrificing style, the utility jacket is a great gift option. Inspired by workwear, these jackets often come with multiple pockets and are made from durable fabrics like heavy cotton or even a faux leather or suede. They offer a structured silhouette that’s a little more rugged while still serving a refined look that's perfect for weekend adventures, nights out or simply running errands in style.

For an everyday casual fit, simply pair the overshirt with a crisp white or graphic designed t-shirt and denim jeans, sneakers or boots. For cooler days, layer it over a hoodie, sweater, or flannel shirt. Elevate the outfit to a more smart-casual style by wearing it over a button-down shirt with chinos and leather shoes.

This Father's Day, go beyond the expected and give dad or any father figure the gift of style and comfort!
