On the JJ Barnes Blog, I check out the top tips from fashion experts at TM Lewin for gifts that the men we love, and their wardrobes, will appreciate this Christmas!

I love buying Christmas gifts, and I love seeing the faces of people I’ve bought for on Christmas morning. But, in some cases, I find the men in my life a little trickier to choose for, especially if I want to buy a man something nice and new to wear!

The phrase “gifts for men” has been searched online by an estimated 96,000 this month alone, so it seems I’m not alone in wondering what to get! So, the help of TM Lewin’s James Kearns, it’s time to start ticking off your Christmas shopping list now. He has created premium list of timeless, stylish clothing and accessories that every man will love this Christmas and beyond, and taken a load of pressure off my plate!

1. Knitwear

Renowned for luxuriously soft, scratch-free texture and heat-retaining capabilities, cashmere jumpers are an absolute must-have in every man’s wardrobe. As well as being lightweight, comfortable, and impeccably stylish, a cashmere jumper is the perfect layering piece for every man’s winter wardrobe now it’s so cold. What more could you ask for in a gift?

If cashmere is outside of your budget, Merino knitwear might just be the answer you’re looking for. Merino wool is incredibly comfortable, durable, and practical, and the moisture-wicking fabric impressively regulates body temperature, but the breathability allows for wear during the warmer and cooler seasons alike. If your giftee loves the outdoors, Merino knitwear would make for the perfect gift.

2. Leather gloves

Leather gloves are a classic gift for the refined man. They will never go out of style, exude sophistication, and are world-famous for their durability, waterproof qualities, and longevity. Leather gloves are the perfect gift for men who want to introduce a touch of elegance into their wardrobes.

3. Chelsea boots

Chelsea boots are a style all-rounder associated with well-dressed men. Whether the dress code is casual flannel and jeans or formal workwear, these versatile shoes can be worn with almost any outfit. On top of that, chelsea boots are typically crafted from durable, long-lasting Italian leather, making them a timeless investment.

4. Classic black suits

If your man’s social calendar is packed with work events and formal parties, you cannot go wrong with a classic, slim-fit black dinner suit, sometimes known as a tuxedo. This versatile suit can be styled to suit smart-casual and formal settings alike. For formal and swanky settings, your giftee can keep things elevated with a dress shirt and bow tie, or if the party is a family Christmas do, simply swap out the dress shirt for a black merino roll neck.

5. Cufflinks

Small details can truly elevate an outfit, so enhance any shirt with a striking pair of cufflinks. From gold to silver, bright to muted, or even personalised, the possibilities are endless. The more adventurous and brighter you opt for, the more likely you are to have a conversation starter on his hand or, rather, his sleeves.

6. Weekend bags

Whether it’s for work trips or weekend getaways, a man on the go is sure to appreciate the practicality of a well-made weekend bag. If they like to travel in style, a leather holdall balances the line between convenience and elegance perfectly. Alternatively, if you’re leaning towards durability, canvas weekend bags are an excellent choice for the outdoorsy man.

Perfect Gifts For Men

To round off his list of perfect gifts for men this holiday season, here is James Kearns had to say on the importance of finding well-made, sustainable, and timeless gifts:

“Upgrading your boyfriend, husband, friend, or family member’s wardrobe with a special investment piece will always be a welcome gift. There’s no better gift than clothing and accessories that will stand the test of time, and if you can treat your loved ones with a timeless gift they’ll love far beyond Christmas day that also happens to be incredibly well-made, you’ve got a win-win situation on your hands! Ultimately, it’s the thought that counts – but nurturing those quality connections with a quality gift is truly special to me.”

The study was conducted by TM Lewin, which supplies high-quality menswear to the British public since 1898.
