The best Father’s Day gift ideas to give dad a style makeover
No, he does not in fact have everything. Get him something so singular that he hasn't thought to get it himself
By 
DESPITE WHAT YOUR DAD might say, no, he does not have everything. He doesn’t have, for instance, a pair of elegantly cut swim shorts from Orlebar Brown. Nor does he have a pair of New Balance sneakers that are made for the fairway. Thinking about Father’s Day gift ideas might leave you blank, but our advice? Get something so singular he hasn’t thought to get it himself.
From trusty fleeces to the humble baseball cap, Esquire has curated below a bumper list of the best fashion pieces and accessories to gift dad this Father’s Day.
The best Father’s Day gift ideas for clothing and accessories
R.M. Williams Mulyungarie fleece
(The timeless fleece)
Out of all the Australian heritage label’s products, its fleeces are an Aussie dad staple. An easy Father’s Day gift idea, we guarantee you R.M. Williams’ Mulyungarie fleece is on his list, so might as well beat him to the punch.
Assembly Label T-shirt
(The classic white T-shirt)
It’s hard to nail the white T-shirt, but Assembly Label makes one of our favourites with the relaxed shoulders and boxier fit.
Golden Goose poplin shirt
(The party shirt)
Our Father’s Day coincides with the start of spring, which means the zany party shirt is coming back into dad’s rotation. This poplin shirt from Golden Goose is crisp enough for him to not sweat through, while the subtle nautical print is Amity Cove vibes.
Emporio Armani cotton-blend hoodie
(The funky hoodie)
Give dad something to flex with this hoodie fresh from the Emporio Armani autumn/winter 2025 collection.
Orlebar Brown Bulldog drawcord swim shorts
(The luxe swim shorts)
It’s time to replace Dad’s daggy board shorts with a pair so elegantly cut that he might be scouted to be the next James Bond.
Tommy Hilfiger 1985 Polo
(The preppy polo shirt)
If dad likes to keep his polo colours conservative, this butter yellow one from Tommy Hilfiger is the perfect one to branch out in, while also being the colour of the moment.
Saint Laurent wool and silk striped tie
(The coolest tie in the office)
Again on that preppy revival beat, ties are so back. Saint Laurent has been making some of our favourites in opulent hues and patterns that recall Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
Ralph Lauren baseball cap
(The humble dad cap)
The humble baseball cap is an essential dad staple. This one from Ralph Lauren has the patina of a well-worn cap with a vintage logo. (A great one if dad’s name is Ralph, too.)
New Balance 574 Greens v2 golf shoes
(The freshest New Balances on the fairway)
These might look like your regular 574s from New Balance, but the soles are fitted out with golf-specific grips. Dad will appreciate a dual-purpose sneaker.
Calibre tan suede sneakers
(The smart-casual shoe of choice)
The smart-casual sneaker consists of materials you’d see in a dress shoe, while built like a regular sneaker. This brown suede one from Aussie label Calibre is one dad can wear to work and elevate his weekend outfits.
Hugo Boss grained leather cardholder
(The beautifully made wallet)
A beautifully crafted wallet to remind him who he is.
