We should celebrate the guys in our life more than just one day out of the year. But with Father’s Day this month, it’s the perfect time to step it up and give a little something extra.
If you are stumped while searching for the best present, our men’s summer style guide featuring eight major trends is a good place to start. With pieces such as printed cotton ties, lightweight suiting and rugged leather accessories there’s something here for every fashion sense. –Angela Bobo
