Gifting can be tough when it comes to stylish men; after all, it can seem like they’ve already got their whole wardrobes figured out, and the mass barrage of brands and retailers can feel never ending. If that weren’t enough, this year in particular is tricky, with the shipping deadlines and supply chain delays and general falling apartness of the modern world. The whole confluence of factors makes shopping for that special guy feel daunting, and pointless; perhaps just a gift card this year.
But wait! InsideHook to the rescue, with 102 gifts running the gamut from a much needed sock refresh to a silk shirt so fine it’s hard to believe it’s not fake. We’ve picked out something for everyone, with chic and suave gifts for your kick-flipping nephew, dapper brother-in-law, still learning-how-to-dress boyfriend, or your impossible-to-shop-for husband. Whoever is on your gifting list, rest easy knowing that you’ll find the hottest, trendiest, and otherwise most stylish items below.
If the phrase “elevated basics” wasn’t already in your vocabulary, just take a look at Reigning Champ’s midweight terry crewneck, and you’ll get an idea. Comfortable and stylish, this is a gift he’ll be ecstatic to receive.
A brown suede bomber with a shearling collar is about as idiot-proof as it gets in the jacket department. It exudes timeless, effortless cool, whether paired with jeans and a tee or a more elevated getup (see: Henry Golding’s bomber/turtleneck combo in The Gentlemen). This handsome number from Neiman Marcus is the perfect chocolate-y shade with genuine dyed lamb shearling (increasingly rare these days), and it’s sure to look even better the longer you own it.
Sometimes the most stylish (see: most comfortable) gifts don’t have to be expensive.
Produced in collaboration with Los Angeles eyewear mavens Dom Vetro, AG Arthur sunnies are the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who appreciates classic, timeless cool. Additionally, each pair is hand-crafted from biodegradable, plant-based Italian acetate with a recyclable polar mineral glass lens that offers superior optical clarity and a much smaller carbon footprint than plastic. So you can tell your giftee that you’re doing a favor for their eyes and the earth at the same time.
