The man for whom you are seeking a Christmas present clearly has style. What to buy for him? Soft gifts in the form of carefully chosen sock combinations and a set of boxer shorts are not always a guaranteed recipe for success. So what then should one choose, so that the gift creates a truly fashionable impression, pleases him accordingly, and you can add a few bonus points to your score in the category of champion gift-giver?
Men too are fond of laying emphasis on details. If you know that your partner, father, colleague or friend owns shirts with double cuffs, give some thought to this very gift. You may choose from cufflinks in various colours and styles — match them to his watch and the buckle of his belt. Although the market offers an inexhaustible range of motifs, for a formal shirt always choose the more restrained options, ideally basic geometric shapes.
Another decorative element, which is moreover obligatory with formal trousers (it is omitted only with the dinner jacket). A belt made of carefully crafted leather with precise stitching additionally speaks of good taste. Such a belt reveals about its wearer that style is not of secondary importance to him, and that details and quality take pride of place. The belt ought to match the shoes, and the metal buckle the other metal accessories.
Do you know the measurements of the man you are gifting by heart? A made-to-measure shirt with buttons of your choice, in an unusual shade and with an embroidered monogram, wrapped in a gift box and tied with a broad, discreet ribbon, will without doubt stand out beneath the Christmas tree. You may choose from the most luxurious materials and a vast array of colours and patterns. At Krejčovství Blažek, skilful specialists will be pleased to assist you with the selection, and the shirt can even be ordered without a fitting, with only the ideal cut taken into account. Thanks to this, it may remain a successfully kept secret gift all the way until Christmas Eve.
A designer decorative pocket square placed in the breast pocket of a jacket has the ability to liven up an entire outfit in an instant. You may choose from pocket squares of silk or wool. While silk, with its natural sheen, appears more representative, a woollen pocket square will look finer in a sporting jacket with a roll-neck. When choosing the pattern, bear in mind the occasion for which the pocket square is intended. The more restrained the pattern and colour, the more dignified the impression (and with a dinner jacket, only a white one will do). If you wish to create a set with a tie, designers recommend linking only a small detail or colour — there is no need to match them together in a puristic fashion.
Even when choosing a pocket square it is fitting to know the recipient's wardrobe. It should, at least in part, correspond with the colour palette that the gentleman in question prefers in his dress. Not least, you should also bear in mind that the pattern or colour combination used should be close to the heart of the man concerned. Only then can a designer and thoughtfully chosen gift become a new favourite part of his wardrobe.
