Let’s be honest, dads are not always the easiest to buy for. In fact, they’re notoriously tricky giftees. He’s either got everything he wants and needs or doesn’t have a wish list at all (imagine that). But rather than falling back on a pair of socks, his favourite chocolate and a bottle of whisky with a scribbled card this Father’s Day, we suggest you treat him to something a little more special this year. Step in MR PORTER.
Spanning everything from the latest fashion drops and chic accessories to stylish homeware, there is something for every dad at MR PORTER, whether he’s Mr Fussy or Mr Nonchalant. Need some inspiration? Shop our edit of the best MR PORTER Father’s Day gifts below and spoil him with something better than the norm this year. After all, he deserves it.
The best style gifts
Fashionista on your hands? Or a dad who needs a little nudge in the styling department? MR PORTER is the destination for all the latest collections. Whether it’s a timeless shirt, like Saint Laurent’s denim iteration, that he can wear on repeat every weekend, or a classic aviator jacket that’ll keep him warm and youthful (see Mr P.’s shearling-lined variation for ultimate style points), timeless or trendy, there’s something for every stylish gent.
Perhaps a pair of seasonal loafers or boat shoes – promising style, sophistication and the perfect Italian Riviera look – are more up his street? Tom Ford and Mr P. most certainly deliver the goods. Look to their slick and preppy suede designs for styles with a contemporary edge.
The best luxury accessories
If buying for his wardrobe seems like a little bit of a gamble, play it safe with luxe accessories instead. A pair of statement sunglasses, for instance, are sure to go down a treat. Brunello Cucinelli’s aviators will make him the trendiest man in town, while Loewe + Paula’s Ibiza’s retro design is outrageously outgoing for the bold, bohemian-spirited gent.
Or perhaps a sophisticated belt will fit the bill? Loro Piana’s woven suede style is a winner every time and is available in seven colourways for every taste and chino/shirt combination. If not a belt, how about a tie to have him covered for smart summer occasions? Look no further than Etro for a design with character, like this paisley patterned style made from Italian silk with swirling motifs.
If he’s the travelling type, you can’t go wrong with a luggage upgrade (name a man who couldn’t use a new backpack to replace his beloved but beaten up bag, we’ll wait). MR PORTER has a whole host of jet-set ready bags, whether to accompany him on weekend getaways or a far-flung escape. We particularly like Bottega Veneta’s refined and elegant weekend bag made from the house’s intrecciato leather weave. Alternatively, Ralph Lauren’s limited edition Wimbledon Tennis design is perfect for sporty dads, and will take him from the court to a trip to the coast with ease.
For more of a fling over his shoulder, everyday style, Lemaire and Loewe have the perfect options. If he’s the out-and-about in a busy city kind of guy, Lemaire’s croissant-shaped messenger bag will keep his belongings secure and his style points high. If he’s more inclined to enjoy strolling around a coastal village, Loewe + Paula’s Ibiza’s raffia bucket bag will finesse his chic beachside look.
The best watch and jewellery gifts
He may have his everyday staples, but a little bit of extra bling, whether that be understated jewellery or a precious timepiece, is guaranteed to go down well. Yes, it may be a bit more of investment than other gifts, but he’ll be sure to keep it forever. Baume & Mercier and Hermes’ watches are beautifully handcrafted from the highest quality materials: the former in a smart navy colourway with a sapphire glass crystal case and alligator strap, the latter in a vibrant orange shade with a satin-brushed stainless steel case and rubber strap.
Then there are jewellery pieces, like Anita Ko’s minimalist but seriously sophisticated 18-karat white gold ring – he’ll never want to take it off. Alternatively, Suzanne Kalan’s ultra chic bracelet will instantly finesse any outfit. Made from 18-karat gold and freshwater pearls, it’s delicate and super versatile.
The best homeware gifts
Last but by no means least, there’s homeware. MR PORTER has a wonderful selection of items for every room of the house and for every man’s individual style. Whether he’s an interior designer at heart and loves unique decor and ceramics, a hosting aficionado who nails dinner parties every time or simply enjoys a cosy evening in with a board game, there’s a gift for him. Soho Home’s ice bucket is a must-have for those who love both marble work and shaking up a mojito, while The Conran Shop’s backgammon set will have him entertained for hours (and looks pretty James Bond-esque on the coffee table).
