There are so many clichés when it comes to Father's Day gifts—my favorites include anything related to grilling or golf. But this year, I was inspired to look for things that felt inherently "cooler." No offense to the aforementioned activities, but my gift-shopping expertise falls under the fashion and beauty categories, so I'll stick to what I know. I had a bit too much fun exploring the men's sections of my favorite retailers' websites, so with far too many tabs open, I decided to narrow down my findings and create a shopping list for you. Below, you'll find the latest Adidassneakers, upgraded button-down shirts, skincare sets he'll actually use, and an under-$200 David Yurman bracelet that can't be missed. Keep scrolling to shop the gifts that are guaranteed to please this year.
