Treat your man to our favourite, out of the box finds
Are you tired of watching the men in your life sit in front of video calls, dressed in boring, pastel, ‘formally accepted’ clothes every day? Men have a very stringent definition of good fashion – and it’s mostly minimalistic. And while a well-suited man can make our hearts pound, we all know that women secretly love a hint of drama in everything – even in men’s daily fashion.
Well, gifting season is in, and it’s up to you to elevate your man’s style quotient with some unusual fashion choices he will love. Here’s a list of men’s eccentric must-haves to liven up his everyday style.
#1 Fun Socks
Even the dullest man (read – my father) will agree to wear colorful socks. Fun socks showcase the playful spirit of every man while staying within the rules of formal wear. Check out some flamboyant options with cool graphics or bold colors.

#2 Cool Square-Frame Shades
What good is stepping out in the winter sun without a pair of classy sunglasses? They elevate your look and can easily be woven into men’s formal wear. We love classic aviators, yes, but the newest trend on the block are swanky square frames.

#3 Stylish Watches
One thing that can completely transform a man’s work look to a party look is a great wristwatch. Everything else can stay the same, but a stylish watch can instantly set him apart to look fancier and classier. We’re forever crushing black dials and classic analogues.

#4 Belts With A Twist
Belts have been the classic gift for men for years. A great belt doesn’t just do its job well, but also complements both the shirt and the trousers. The color of the belt, its material, and its buckle – all contribute to the whole look. A simple belt in a blue or olive, or a jazzy buckle should do the trick.

#5 Pastel Pink Blazers or Jackets
What better than the Indian festive season to brighten up a man’s wardrobe? They say real men don’t wear pink, we say real men wear any colour they like. A salmon blazer is a great alternative for those looking to go beyond blacks and greys. Style tip? Ask him to wear it with a white turtleneck.

#6 Messenger Bags
Gone are the days when men used to carry shoulder backpacks for work. As laptops are getting slimmer and smaller, a Messenger Bag has become a necessity in every man’s wardrobe. A classic, tan or brown messenger in leather or canvas can be a perfect deviation from the run-of-the-mill shoulder bag.

#7 Henley T-Shirts
Say ‘Yay’ if you swoon over a man who can pull off a Henley t-shirt – let’s face it, we all do. Every man has a slew of polos in his wardrobe but not as many are familiar with Henleys. We’re voting for the snug silhouette in colours like maroon, olive and mustard.
