A Gift Guide For The Boyfriend Who Dresses Better Than You

By

In case you haven’t met him, whether in real life or in your nightmares, let me assure you this dude exists. Call him metro—CALL HIM WHAT YOU WILL—but the painful truth is he dresses better than you and is therefore a real doozy to shop for. It’s hard enough being with a guy who matches his socks to his belt loops better than you could’ve imagined. So to save you some stress, here’s a list of gift ideas for your dude with impeccable style.

A Fancy Lint Roller

Often times dapper dudes can’t get enough of lint rollers. In particular, they seem to relish watching those little strays of lint and dust being picked up off of their new Comme Des Garçons over-shirt, making it cleaner and brighter with each swipe. Let them go wild with this fancy one.

Happy Socks

Men who appreciate clothing inevitably appreciate socks, because they know socks can sometimes make or break an outfit. And Happy Socks are what’s up.

The Letters of Truman Capote

Perhaps your dude likes to be reassured that he’s not alone in his sartorial bent. In which case this book would do a fine job convincing him that some of history’s greatest thinkers had the same interest.

Luggage

What are good clothes if you don’t have a good bag to pack them in? Answer = nothing.

The Art of Shaving Kit

Clothes will only take your man so far. God knows what he’ll do with that blush-brush-looking-thing, but man will they look good doing it!

Le Labo Cologne

Because a well-dressed man does not guarantee a well-scented man.

eBay Finds

When it comes to clothing he’s nearly impossible to shop for, which is why you should stick to hard-to-find, cool pieces like this awesome paisley Dior tie.

Touch-Screen Gloves

Again, you’ll have a hard time pleasing him with your sartorial choices unless it’s something like these swanky, cashmere, touch-screen gloves.

Mirror

You know the man likes a good mirror. Spoil him this year.
