Just because your Dad is a stylish guy doesn’t mean your Father’s Day gift has to break your budget. This year, you can elevate his daily uniform with wardrobe upgrades that look expensive but cost less than $150! From weekend layers to comfortable footwear, we have rounded up the best stylish, functional pieces that will make him feel thoroughly spoiled without emptying your wallet.
KURU MOMENT Slides ($99, Kuru.com)
If he hasn’t tried KURU footwear, these slides will make him a fan!
KURU is known for its patented curved soles that cup and cushion the heels, allowing for all-day comfort and medical-grade support.
The slides offer an adjustable fit, offer built-in arch support, and have a memory foam sole, ideal for those who suffer from foot fatigue or discomfort. They are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and have a 91-day “Feel Better” promise. Available in Midnight and Jet black and in sizes 7-13.
Magnaready Adaptive Cooling Magnetic Front Short Sleeves Shirt ($69, Magnaready.com)
Dad might be struggling with dexterity these days, but he can still be stylish! This lightweight short-sleeve shirt looks like a classic button-down, but the buttons fasten securely with hidden magnets.
Maura Horton designed this clothing collection after witnessing her husband’s difficulty with buttons due to Parkinson’s. The collection is ideal for anyone with Parkinson’s, arthritis, or any other ailment causing reduced mobility. There are shirts, pants, and more for both men and women.
The Short Sleeves Shirt is available in 11 colors and in sizes SM – 4X. The fabric is cooling, has a nice stretch, and offers UPF 50+ sun protection.
Free Fly Men’s Dawn Patrol Boardshort ($78, Freeflyapparel.com)
These are no ordinary board shorts. They were designed in collaboration with pro surfers and have all the bells and whistles that pro surfers dream of! They are super comfortable and lightweight with 4-way stretch. They also dry very quickly, so they go from water activities to anywhere else Dad wants to go.
The shorts feature a unique no-inseam design to avoid chafing, a full-circumference drawstring for a customized fit, and UPF 50+ sun protection. Available in several colors and in sizes 28-38”.
Lems Trail Blazer ($145, Lemsshoes.com)
These hiking shoes are fashion forward enough to wear every day, for travel, and for the trail. They are lightweight and have a roomy toe box, making them really comfortable for long walks, and their durable outsole is grippy on all kinds of surfaces. The cork footbed is removable, so he can customize his fit.
The shoes come in several cool color combos and are available in sizes 4.5-15. They are also zero-drop, which is great for strengthening the feet and improving balance.
NEIWAI Men’s Undershirt Tank ($24.50, originally $35, Neiwai.life)
Replace his tired wifebeaters with the more upscale tank. The fabric looks much more polished than a classic tank; it’s breathable, has a barely-there feel, and a flattering fit for wearing alone or layered.
The brand also makes several other must-have basics, like PJs, tees, polo shirts, shorts, and super soft underwear. The tank is available in three colors and in sizes XS-XXL.
Single Stitch Everyday Full Zip Hoodie ($58, Singlestitch.com)
The hoodie-loving Dad has a problem. Most hoodies are too thick and bulky to be worn in the summer.
The Everyday Full Zip Hoodie, available in three basic colors and sizes SM-XL, will become his summer hoodie go-to. It’s made with ultra-light, buttery-soft fabric that is so pleasant to wear and perfect for those slightly chilly summer nights. Single Stitch is a new brand focused on soft, comfortable basics for everyday wear. I also really like their tees.
BearPaw BEAU Slippers ($69.99, Bearpaw.com)
If his slippers are looking worse for wear, treat him to these! They have a cow suede upper and are generously lined with a soft wool-blend for a comfortable, cozy feel.
And while they are great for padding around the house,
the Beau slippers have a blown rubber outsole so he can wear them outside. The sole is incredibly lightweight, so the slippers don’t have the clunky, heavy feel some slippers do. He could even wear them when he travels, if he wants to – and we won’t begrudge him that! Available in several colors and in sizes 8M-14M.
Kuhl Fuse Long Sleeve ($109, Kuhl.com)
Shirts that look polished can be tricky business if he sweats a lot. This shirt will keep him cool while he looks put together – even in the sun! It offers cooling technology and UV protection in a lightweight, ripstop fabric with plenty of give and breathability.
The Fuse Long Sleeve has breathable mesh panels for airflow, thoughtfully placed pockets, and a roll-up button to keep sleeves in place. Available in four colors and in sizes SM-XXXL. Also available in short sleeve ($99).
