Buying a gift for a fashion forward man may be one of the most difficult things ever. Think about it, chances are they already have everything.

Well, almost.

Unless a little birdie whispered in your ear that they were on the hunt for new gym shoes or they could use a new tie for an upcoming wedding, you my dear might just be in luck.

And if all else fails, you can never go wrong with a good meal, a book or something he can indulge his hobbies with.

Unfortunately, that won’t work in this scenario especially if you’re hell bound on getting him something that will nudge him towards pulling off a certain look or something he can add to his already stylish wardrobe.

To help you surprise your deserving man here are a few ideas worth looking into:

Eye wear will always be those accessories your man will appreciate. Other than blocking out the sun for his eyes, think of something futuristic.

Some Ray Bans may work fine but imagine a cool brand that has Bluetooth headphones, speakers and polarized lenses that reduce glare!

To make sure he’s never late for your dates, get him a timeless piece. Depending on the type of man he is and the hobbies he enjoys, there are so many options to choose from.

Take the high function Nixon watch for example which has a timer, temperature gauge and light or a blue Seiko he doesn’t have to take off when motor boating.

Even though he is a frequent app user when it comes to making payments, wallets have not become obsolete. He still has cards, money and everything else he needs to hold together in one safe place.

You can keep it the traditional leather or choose one with a platinum coating. Choose a minimalist exterior, with enough card slots and one that lies completely flat so that he doesn’t have to worry about it sticking out of his pants or jacket.

You cannot even begin to imagine how annoying it is when your tie keeps moving to the side and you constantly have to realign it. Well, I wouldn’t but your man does.

Simple and stylish, these industrial strength magnets that are rust and corrosion free are made to keep ties, scarves and other accessories in place. And the best part is, they don’t leave a mark.

At first glance, you will be forgiven to think that these are the usual cuff links. But they are not. Stylish and functional, these cool accessories are stainless and they do their job by keeping French cuffs closed.

What makes them special is the hidden design feature that has a handcuff key that will open almost all standard handcuffs.

It may not sound like something that may make a fashion statement but you will be surprised at how a boring an old or basic laptop bag may ruin an otherwise stylish outfit.

You can go for the classic brown or black leather bag, a sleeve that is lined on the inside or a laptop carry bag in tanned leather to combine vintage with modern appeal.
