When it comes to holiday gift giving, the men in our lives have wish lists filled with tech items, grooming accessories, books, sneakers — basically anything that's not clothes. But the truth is, our guys could stand to add a few new items to their wardrobes, especially pieces that have been picked out by someone who knows their style and personality well. Whether you're shopping for your SO, a sibling, or even your dad, here are some seriously cool apparel items to consider.
The Polo Ralph Lauren Aran Knit Sweater ($165) is completely timeless, making it a great gift for men of all ages.
Give him the Sleepy Jones Lowell Pajama Set ($178) — because every guy should have a presentable set of PJs.
A truly waterproof jacket is a very useful present, and the Stutterheim Green Stockholm Raincoat ($221, originally $295) has an undeniable cool factor to boot.
Uniqlo's cashmere sweaters are cult favorites due to their high quality and affordable price point, so chances are he'll love this Men's Cashmere V-Neck Sweater ($99).
Grab a couple of the Nike Legend 2.0 Long Sleeve Dri-Fit Training T-Shirts ($30) for the guy who is always complaining he has no cold-weather workout gear.
A polished tee like this Todd Snyder x Champion Classic T-Shirt in Antique Grey ($50) will fit into his wardrobe no matter his aesthetic.
A denim shirt is a closet staple, so he'll put the J. Crew Lightweight Denim Shirt in Dark Wash ($70) to good use.
The sophisticated Saturdays NYC Morgan Wool Coat ($450) is ideal for the professional who still wants to be stylish.
Bomber jackets are definitely a thing right now, so give him the Baracuta G9 Modern Classic Jacket ($390) to help him live out his Top Gun fantasies.
The Obey Norwich Woven Shirt ($55, originally $72) provides a hit of color but is easy for him to wear with basics like jeans, chinos, and sneakers.
The Urban Outfitters Nasa Long Sleeve Tee ($38) makes the perfect gift for your (adorably) nerdy brother or boyfriend.
Buying pants for a guy can be tricky, but these ultra crisp and classic A.P.C. Petit New Standard Jeans ($210) are a safe bet.
For a fashion-minded guy who isn't afraid to experiment with color and texture, the Norse Projects Osvald Texture Shirt ($189) is a win.
The aptly-named Lululemon ABC Pant ($128) (anti-ball crushing pant — yes, really) looks polished on the outside but packs sweat-wicking performance fabric and comfort on the inside.
For guys with minimal or slightly edgy style, the H&M Block Striped Sweatshirt ($15) is an ideal (and wallet-friendly) choice.
The Everlane Heavyweight Overshirt ($75) is a versatile midlayer he can wear now as a shirt and later as a light jacket.
This Club Monaco Donegal Cashmere Hoodie ($239, originally $298) is so cozy, you might have a hard time getting him to take it off.
This Canada Goose Langford Parka Black Label ($925) is definitely an investment, but it's one he'll be able to wear for years to come.
