16 Fashion Gifts for Men and Not a Single Wallet In Sight

Shopping for the men in your life—whether it be a friend, family member, or significant other—always seems to be a challenge. The usual picks of a new golf glove or wallet (I'm guilty of gifting both), seem basic and impersonal. While they may be appreciated, stepping outside your gifting comfort zone can be a thrill for both the gifter and giftee—maybe he'll discover a new brand he loves through you, or will cherish something he would never spend money on for himself.

Giving fashion pieces always comes with some risk (I recommend doing a little snooping to get an idea for the correct sizes), but when you get it right, it's unforgettable. No one ever asks someone where they got their belt from, but people will want to know where you snagged that spaghetti cabana shirt.

Below, 15 actually good fashion gifts for the men in your life.

Casio A168WG-9VT $70.00
