Best apparel gifts for men
Clothing is the safest bet when you pick something he already wears every day. Start with pants and outerwear, then add a hat.
Kuhl pants:
Kuhl has a loyal following for good reason. The Kuhl Skeleton Korduroy Pants are our best-selling Kuhl pant, now $98.99 with 25% off. The Kuhl Rydr Pants are the go-to for guys who work with their hands. Both stretch, hold up to hard use and look sharp enough for dinner. Every Kuhl pant is on sale right now, so shop Kuhl pants at 25% off before the Black Friday rush.
Carhartt jackets and layers for cold mornings
The Carhartt Yukon Extremes Insulated Active Jacket ($199.99) was our top-selling men's jacket last holiday season. It is insulated, tough and built for the coldest mornings on Long Island. If a full winter jacket is too big a swing, the Carhartt Rain Defender Quarter-Zip ($74.99) is water-repellent and heavyweight, and the Carhartt Midweight 1/4 Zip Fleece is an easy layer he can wear three seasons a year. Want a classic work jacket? Browse our workwear jackets and coats or shop all Carhartt.
Athleisure for the guy who lives in joggers
If his weekend uniform is joggers and a hoodie, upgrade the basics. The Nike Club Joggers ($64.99) are an easy everyday pick, and the Vuori Seaside Sweatpant is a softer step up for lounging. Browse more athleisure gifts for him or shop all apparel gifts.
Best footwear gifts for men
Good shoes and boots are a gift he will feel every day, and they are one thing most men never buy for themselves.
Recovery shoes and slides
Kane Revive Recovery Shoes ($77.99) are what athletes slip on after a game and what dads slip on after a 10-hour shift. They are light, cushioned and easy on and off. For around the house, pair them with adidas Adilette Comfort Slides ($39.99). See all recovery shoes and slides.
Everyday sneakers
The Nike Air Force 1 Mid '07 ($124.99) is a classic he will wear everywhere, with jeans, joggers or work pants. Browse more everyday shoes for him.
