AYR Essentials

The Captain

AYR

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If your partner is looking for some elevated, fresh everyday basics, then check out AYR. The brand, which stands for All Year Round, specializes in made-to-last pieces that are consciously sourced. After falling in love with the women's button-downs, I'm grabbing this long-sleeve shirt for my husband and a cool striped tee to layer with it.

Samsonite Proxis Suitcase

Luggage Samsonite

Samsonite

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: On a recent vacation I noticed that my husband's suitcase was on its last leg. He's not the type to splurge on fancy luggage, but lucky for him, he's married to me. After doing some research, I chose the Samsonite Proxis, which has all the modern bells and whistles (a durable yet lightweight outer shell, dual spinner wheels, TSA-friendly lock) and has a super sleek design that makes you look like you're flying first class even when you're in row 33. (FYI: The Proxis is so stylish, that the brand transformed it into Met Gala-inspired looks last month.)

Buy It! Samsonite Proxis Luggage, $550 (medium); shop.samsonite.com

Under Armour Cap

Underarmour Cap

Underarmour

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: My dad's a simple guy when it comes to his style, but there's one accessory he can't have too many of: a good 'ol cap. This one from Under Armour is perfect for summer with its breathability and lightweight fabric and comes in sleek earth-toned colorways, which will no doubt make your dad feel cool and fashion-forward (even if he might not show it!).

Buy It! Under Armour Men's UA ArmourVent Stretch Fit Cap, $30; underarmour.com

Kiehl's Shaving Set

Ultimate Shave Collection Kiehl's Since 1851

Kiehl's 

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If your dad's idea of skincare is a bar of soap, it's time to help him update his routine. Start out easy with a great shave set like this best-selling one from Kiehl's — the ulitmate starter pack for the dad who needs a little encouragement when it comes to pampering himself.

Cuyana Tech Oraganizer

Cuyana Tech Organizer

Cuyana

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: One of my all-time favorite gifts to give is Cuyana's Leather Travel Case Set because they're as luxe as they are useful. The brand's sleek-looking tech organizer (which comes in two sizes) is the perfect companion to the pouches. It has a large pocket that fits a Kindle, plus lots of pockets, slots and elastic loops for all your cords, chargers and earphones.

Alex Mill T-Shirt

Standard T-Shirt in Slub Cotton

Alex Mill

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Even if you just got him a T-shirt for his birthday, or Hanukkah, or St. Patrick's Day, believe us: He already needs a new one. It's possible these well-liked Alex Mill ones (in a sturdy but comfy weight and a slub fabric buyers love) will get you all the way through until December, though.

Themed Swim Trunks

Forever 21 Coca-Cola Graphic Swim Trunks
Coca-Cola swim trunks.

Forever 21

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: My dad is a sucker for anything Coca-Cola, and just when I think I've run out of merch to purchase for him, more stores will go and release fun products. Say it with me now, thank you, Forever 21! The ongoing collab that Forever 21 has been doing with Coca-Cola keeps my dad stocked with everything classic and red — including these themed swim trunks that will probably be in heavy rotation this summer.

Papatui Bodywash

Papatui Refreshing Body Wash Lush Coconut

Cedar Rapids South

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Earlier this year Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson debuted Papatui, his men's personal care brand featuring skin, hair, body and tattoo care products made with cleaner ingredients and focused on performance. Even more exciting? Every product is under $10. This body wash from his line smells so good, you're going to want to use it too (making it the perfect gift for all!).

Recess x Gray Malin Golf Set

Recess x Gray Malin Golf Set

Recess

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: Four years after the rest of the world fell in love with pickleball, my husband and I finally took a lesson while on vacation. He loved it, and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it too (I'm not one for learning rules of sports, moving fast or sweating). The only thing that prevented us from playing at home is that we didn't own paddles. That's why I'm gifting him (and me!) this set from Recess which features Gray Malin's signature aerial photography. And while it's unlikely we'll win the next husband and wife tournament, we'll definitely take home the prize for chicest paddles on the court.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Set.

Cozy Earth

Catherine Santino, Style Writer-Reporter: This lounge set is so cozy it just might convince your husband to sit down and relax on Father's Day instead of starting yet another home project (that he never finishes). The viscose from bamboo is so soft and stretchy, plus it's breathable, so he can wear it all year long.

Vuori Ponto Performance Tee

Vuori T-Shirts

Vuori

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: There are a lot of elevated basics on this list and with good reason — who doesn't appreciate a nicer version of something they wear every day? Case in point: These incredibly soft, moisture-wicking tees which have the perfect cut (not too slim, not too boxy) and a touch of stretch.

Hoka Sneakers

Solimar

Solimar

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Dare we dub these the new dad shoe? These trainers look just as cool on the trails as they do on a patio bar. Named after Solimar beach in Southern California, the daily style is engineered with extra rubber for a cool silhouette.

Alo Socks

Unisex Half-Crew Throwback Sock

Alo

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If ankle socks are out (we hear you Gen Z!), then these Alo Yoga half-crew socks are very much in. They have a super-soft feel, comfy cushioning and cool striped detail. Plus, they'll make pickleball with your boo that much more stylish.

Ariel Nagi, Associate Director, Audience Engagement: If the dads in your life love a summer cookout, the smooth and smoky flavor of this mezcal is perfect for a refreshing drink. I love to make a spicy margarita using this as the base, but you can drink it straight or have it with pretty much any mixer of choice.

Charity Water Bottle

BottleNo30 Freebirds Bottle.

BottleNo30

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: If you want to do some good while you're shopping for Father's Day, this water bottle will do the trick. #BottleNo30's water bottles, created by celebrity tattoo artist Trudy Lines, are sustainable, leak-proof and climate neutral, but best of all, proceeds from each bottle purchase go toward planting trees and providing clean drinking water.

Tumbler Knife Sharpener

Tumbler Original Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpener Set

Tumbler

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Grilling season is upon us, and the dad in your life can't be caught with subpar tools. Ensure his knives are ready to slice through steak with a totally goof-proof at home knife-sharpener. (Note: Even my husband, a Grade A kitchen snob, approves this tool's performance and ease of use.)

Viva Travel Mug

RECHARGE PRO

VIVA Scandinavia 

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: For any guy who likes their hot coffee or tea on the go — whether they're a commuter or a camper — this all-in-one bottle (which serves as a tea infuser, French press or water bottle and keeps liquids hot for six hours) that disassembles to easily clean is kind of a no-brainer.

Quince Sheets

Classic Organic Percale Sheet Set

Quince

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: If you've come across the Boy Rooms content on your FYP, you know that we have an epidemic of males using not-very-high-quality navy sheets. Help him go from a "Boy Room" to a "Man Room" with these classy, comfy sheets that aren't bank-breaking, in a very grown-up windowpane print.

Blue Apron Meal Kit

BLUE APRON SEARED STEAKS AND MUSHROOM PAN SAUCE

Blue Apron

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: If the dad in your life wants to cook more, Blue Apron is a great way to take out all the boring parts of cooking (endless shopping and prep) and get right to the good stuff (steak). In my house, this is a great gift, but not in the way you think: My husband is the chef and I'm usually too intimidated to take on a meal for the family. This takes out all the guesswork and makes me look like a hero who actually put delicious food on the table (as opposed to something burned beyond recognition).

Fair Harbor Shorts

The Bayberry Trunk

Fair Harbor

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: You don't have to choose between "cheeky short shorts" or "baggy board shorts" for your significant other's swimsuit, we promise. These Fair Harbor ones, made from recycled fibers, are a great in-between length for active dads of any age, and the seersucker fabric gives a little textural interest without resorting that giant palm print you dread.

Leatherology Sunglasses Case

Zip Sunglasses Case

Leatherology

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: If you, like me, have ever stifled a scream upon seeing your significant other carelessly throw his sunglasses into the car cupholder, treat him to a structured case with his initials. You're saving him money in the long run when he won't have to replace yet another scratched lens or snapped arm.

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Show your love with snacks. Mail-order him a delivery of sweets or savories (like this cured meets and cheese box, which you can completely customize) from the beloved Ann Arbor institution, so he'll be well-fed all week.

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: On the note of updating his "sweats" collection, consider an elevated sweatshirt that can be worn for happy hour on the beach or out to dinner. This PerfectWhiteTee "Perry" style has a vintage cut and feel. (While you're there for him, also nab a few tees for yourself — trust us!)

Duluth Cornhole Bags

Fire Hose Cornhole Bags

Duluth Trading Company

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: One thing I have learned since becoming a boy mom is that the masculine urge to absolutely never just sit down and relax at the beach, park or barbecue starts young and lasts forever. These cornhole bags (I'm from the midwest, I don't know what you call it where you're from) are indestructible, cool and are great for anywhere you BYOB (Bring Your Own Board).

Balcones Cataleja Texas Single Malt

Balcones Cataleja Texas Single Malt Whiskey

Balcones Cataleja

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: As much as my husband appreciates a gift he can wear or use to hit a ball, what he really loves is something he can drink. Instead of blindly choosing a bottle of something based on how fancy the label looks (my typical m.o.) I asked a friend who knows her way around a single malt for a recommendation. She suggested this limited edition whiskey which hits an extra celebratory note, since the brand created it in honor of its 15 year anniversary.

Citizen Watch

Citizen Tsuyosa Sport Luxury Automatic Men's Watch

Citizen

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: A watch is such a classic and meaningful gift, and this Citizen style is such a standout and looks like it should cost three times what it does. The stainless steel bracelet is both sporty and sleek, while the emerald green dial gives it a cool, modern vibe.
