Buying clothes for a man is not always easy. Some men have very particular tastes in fashion and aren’t happy unless the item has a designer label attached; others just don’t care about clothes and look at you as if you are crazy when you present them with a carefully chosen sweater. So what are the best garments to buy a man if you are determined to pimp up his wardrobe?
Designer T-Shirt
Designer t-shirts are the ultimate in flexible wear – smart enough to team with a pair of trousers and a stylish jacket for a night out and casual enough to wear for a Saturday morning trip to the local supermarket. Before splashing out on a designer t-shirt for your man, check whether he has any favourite designers. For example, if he loves Paul Smith, stick to his preferred brand as you are guaranteed a warm response to your gift. If not, choose a designer you like on the basis you have good taste and he probably doesn’t.
Sexy Underwear
Buying sexy underwear is not just a man thing. Women enjoy seeing their man in a sexy pair of boxers or designer shorts. In fact this is one area where you really should please yourself. Just because your man favours traditional briefs, you don’t have to follow his lead. Instead buy him underwear you want to see him in. Unless of course it’s a thong because even if that floats your boat, he’s unlikely to wear a thong on the basis that it will make him look like a male stripper.
Fluffy Onesie
A onesie is the most comfortable item of clothing ever. They are very popular with women and teenage girls, but men can wear them too. Picking the right onesie is important as too cute and he won’t wear it. Look for men’s onesies with animal prints, superhero motifs, and hoods to keep his head warm as he sits playing on his Xbox at 2am.
Stylish Shirt
Shirts are a good choice for men. There are lots of different shirts to choose from, including dress shirts, casual shirts, and plaid lumberjack shirts made from thick cotton. If you decide to look at a men’s dress shirt, why not invest in a matching tie, too? That way he will have the complete outfit should he decide to team it with a smart pair of dress trousers.
Cuddly Cardigan
All men, young and old, can pull off a cuddly cardigan. Cardigans have an unfair reputation for being an old man’s garment, but there are plenty of stylish cardigans designed for young men. Look for chunky knits and fleece lined textured wool garments for a bit of sexy Scandi style. Alternatively, if you are the creative type, knit your man a sexy cardigan to keep him warm on cold days.
It’s a lot easier to buy clothing for a man than it is for a woman, so don’t be afraid to gift your man some clothing from time to time.
