Father’s Day is fast approaching, and we know that finding a present for the man who already has everything can feel like mission impossible. To make life a little easier, our style team has hand‑picked eight versatile pieces that promise to put a smile on Dad’s face – whether he’s dressing for the office, a weekend away or a well‑earned night out.
A Fish Named Fred “Structure” Blazer
Every dad needs a blazer that works as hard as he does. Cut in a subtly textured cotton‑blend, the Structure Blazer from A fish Named Fred delivers relaxed tailoring that can be worn over an open‑neck shirt for dinner or teamed with a crisp tee at Sunday brunch. Available in an array of easy‑to‑wear colours, it’s an instant wardrobe workhorse Dad will reach for year after year.
Gant Regular Fit Thin Striped Linen Shirt
Lightweight, breathable and effortlessly polished – this Gant linen shirt is the definition of summer smart. The fine vertical stripe elongates the torso (flattering!) while the classic regular fit means there’s room to move. Roll up the sleeves, pair with chinos or shorts and Dad’s ready for anything from garden parties to city breaks.
Eden Park Short Sleeve Shirt
For the dad who likes a pop of personality, Eden Park’s signature bow‑tie logo and contrast collar detailing set this short‑sleeve shirt apart. The cotton‑rich fabric keeps things comfortable, while the tailored silhouette ensures it still looks sharp under a blazer. A winning option for BBQ hosts and holiday adventurers alike.
R2 Jersey Stretch Overshirt
When the weather can’t make up its mind, an overshirt is your secret weapon. R2’s jersey version combines soft stretch fabric with utilitarian pockets, creating a layer that’s as easy as a hoodie but twice as polished. Wear it open over a tee, buttoned up over a polo or even under a lightweight coat when the temperature dips.
Gardeur “BONO‑412841” Modern Fit Chino
A dad can never have too many pairs of chinos, and Gardeur’s modern‑fit silhouette balances comfort with clean lines. The soft‑touch cotton blend retains its shape, while the mid‑rise waist and gentle taper flatter every build. Dress them up with a blazer and loafers or keep things casual with a polo and trainers.
Paige “Shelton” Polo
Part polo, part lightweight knit, Paige’s Shelton elevates the everyday. The luxurious cotton‑modal yarn drapes beautifully, and subtle tipping at the collar adds just the right amount of detail. Perfect for dads who like to look refined without straying into formal territory.
Ambitious “DAN” Penny Loafer
Hand‑finished in supple leather, the DAN penny loafer is equal parts comfort and class. The streamlined profile complements tailoring, but the flexible rubber sole means Dad can clock up the steps pain‑free. Slip‑ons he’ll actually love wearing – promise!
Belstaff “Tourer” Overshirt
Belstaff’s moto heritage meets contemporary street style in the Tourer overshirt. Crafted from lightweight, water‑repellent ripstop with Belstaff’s unmistakable patch on the sleeve, it’s the layer Dad didn’t know he needed. Ideal for unpredictable Irish summers, weekend bike rides or simply elevating a jeans‑and‑tee combo.
