Gifts That Dad Actually Wants: Style

Gifts That Dad Actually Wants: Style

If your old man dresses well, stay away from the new ties and jumbo packs of plain white socks. Those gifts don’t go over well with the average guy, and they sure as hell don’t go over well with the dad who cares about his appearance. For the stylish father, consider something that, like his suits, fits him well.

Ray-Ban Clubround
Ray-Ban Clubround

Ray-Ban was founded in the 1930s, which means there’s a good chance your dad owned a pair back in the day. Instead of giving him the same exact model he used to wear, give him one with just a dash of freshness. The Clubround, which is the latest model from Ray-Ban, is the result of combining the Clubmaster and the Round style the brand has crafted for years. By doing this, they’ve introduced a new frame that’s both classic and fresh at the same time. A bit of nostalgia and a great pair of shades.
