~ These days, I spend about 70% of my time freelance styling menswear! It’s something that I don’t share too often on the blog…but I figured that now was the perfect time to start?! As a menswear stylist, I wanted to kick off my shopping guides with a killer gift guide for one of the hardest people on your list to shop for (I hear this every year when I poll on stories!)! I absolutely LOVE styling menswear and I hope this guide helps you find something perfect for the special men in your life. If what you’re looking for didn’t make my top 10 list, scroll down for even more ideas! If you ever feel stumped on sizing, please don’t hesitate to reach out on instagram DM (*fit is my specialty and I’m obsessed with getting it perfect!). When it comes to shopping for men, I like to go with the items that they probably wouldn’t buy for themselves but you know they’ll use and love….
1. This is the most perfect men’s polo on the market! Truly, no one has exactly replicated this buttery soft feel. Matt loves wearing these to work from home, but they are also great in the summer heat, out on the golf course, and I think when they are tucked in, they make a great thin layer under a 1/4 zip or pullover. They notoriously run big, so keep that in mind if your guy doesn’t own this brand yet! I love this fun western print in navy, this classic stripe, and this cheeky “chillax” print for the day drink lover.
2. A needlepointed belt – No guy has ever been disappointed when receiving a needlepointed belt, I swear! This skier print is great, but they also have a ton of other great needlepointed belt options if your man isn’t a skier.
3. A classic quilted vest. You really cannot go wrong with an elevated layer like this! AND at the time of posting, this one is under $100!
4. A personalized club cover for the golf lover!
5. Corkcicle cigar glass – honestly this is the coolest
6. Classic Sunglasses – because you know he’ll lose the ones he has and it’s always fun to get a new pair.
7. Quarter Zip Sweater – OK bear with me here…sweaters (especially men’s pullovers) have a shelf life. They do pill over time no matter how amazing they are! A new quarter zip in a classic color that goes with all his button downs is ALWAYS a good idea!
8. Personalized Leather and Canvas Tech Folio – My husband LOVES to organize (lol) and he loves all of his little tech gadgets. I love how there’s a spot for everything in here – it’s perfect for travel!
9. THE HOLY GRAIL OF DRIVERS – They really do NOT get better than this! They are waterproof, amazing quality, incredibly comfortable, AND you can swap the bits on the front for any color you want (which Matt loves)! Matt and my dad both have them and they are obsessed.
10. A Needlepoint and Leather Wallet – this is another item that I feel like guys always use until they fall apart (when you keep it in a pocket it gets a lot of wear and tare)!
