Gifts for Stylish Dads and Granddads
So you thought cashmere goods were just for the ladies? Think again. Stylish men are starting to appreciate the many benefits of this most luxurious of materials, and cashmere knitwear makes a great present for stylish dads and granddads.
If this is conjuring up images of your father lounging by the fire wearing a baby pink sweater, you clearly haven’t clocked the latest men’s cashmere collections. Jumpers in neutral browns, greys and greens make for wonderfully comfortable weekend wear, while a men’s cashmere scarf worn with a suit and coat for the office can instantly update a work wardrobe.
Cashmere has the double benefit of both looking stylish and feeling so comfortable that it can be difficult to go back to wearing knitwear made from anything else once you have become accustomed to the feel of cashmere.
And buying cashmere goodies as a Christmas gift for Dad or Granddad needn’t be a staggeringly expensive affair. Cashmere is, as the saying goes, reassuringly expensive, but an accessory such as a cashmere scarf will easily serve in the place of any number of items made from an inferior material. Forget piling up stacks of cheap hats, gloves, socks and ties to give to Dad or Granddad on Christmas day, and instead invest in just one or two cashmere items that you know will be truly appreciated. Cashmere socks are another wonderful gift for stylish men, and look every bit as good as they feel, while cashmere slippers are a luxury gift with a difference for men who spend a lot of time travelling – they are an awful lot more comfortable than airline socks when worn on long-haul flights.
Cashmere may have long held a reputation as the sole preserve of women wearing a twin set and pearls, but today’s fashion conscious men and women known that items made in this most comfortable, comforting yet imminently stylish material are the way to go when it comes to looking good without looking like a fashion victim.
Today’s cashmere sellers have extensive collections for both men and women, helping cashmere to shed its ‘girly’ reputation, and rest assured that there are cashmere items out ther for even than manliest of men.
