Psst, did you know Father’s Day is just a few Sundays away, on June 16? This year’s celebration happens to fall on my “New York-a-versary.” (Fourteen years, baby!) That’s neither here nor there, of course, but I’m an only child, so what can I say? I need a little attention even in a story about a topic completely unrelated to me. In this case, good gifts for dads.

But! I have a dad, and he’s cool, and actually more than cool, he’s wonderful! As such, he deserves to be appreciated and fawned over a bit at least once a year. And I bet the dad(s) in your life do, too!

And if you are said-stylish dad, why not leave this browser window open in front of your spouse, or casually email the link to them with the subject line, “Just in case the kids need ideas…”

Since this is Style Girlfriend, you’ll find gift ideas for Father’s Day that are, naturally, totally stylish and pretty freaking affordable. If you want present picks for high-tech gadgets or ham radio kits, bougie gardening tools or expensive booze? Well, you’ll just have to look elsewhere.

Below, I pulled 12 standout pieces for discerning fathers (and father figures!) who like to look their best for all the most dad-a-licious occasions, from backyard barbecues to family road trips, all available from our friends at Huckberry.

Below, check out stylish Father’s Day gifts for 2024:

Stylish knit polos

I’d go so far as to say a knit polo is the hammer of a dad’s fashion toolkit. You’ve just gotta have one.

Drawstring shorts

Hello, summer? It’s me, Taylor. Can you get here fast so all the cool dads can wear these stylish drawstring shorts ASAP? Cool, thanks.

Cool kicks

When it comes to stylish Father’s Day gifts, a new pair of shoes sits high on the list. After all, every dad needs a pair (or ten) of stylish sneakers. These are the shoes I’m recommending to dads this season.

Smart top layers

Oh-so-stylish sweats

I love a man in sweatpants (eyebrow wiggle); they just have to be the right sweatpants. Stylish, well-fitting, tapered at the ankle.

If the above doesn’t describe your current go-to sweats, ask for one of these pairs for Dad’s Day this year.
