The Best Gifts for Guys

Hanna Flanagan, Editorial Assistant: I’m not a huge fan of 80s-inspired short shorts on men, but these Onia swim trunks might’ve changed my mind. The 7-inch inseam is trendy, yet flattering and refined. And this style features quick-drying polyester, so the man in your life won’t have to change after hitting the beach — he can simply throw on a button down shirt and wear these pastel striped trunks to dinner! Get them now so you’re prepared when Spring Break inevitably sneaks up out of nowhere.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: This men’s brand is known for its high-performance activewear, but it also has some of the best wardrobe staples including a collection of comfortable and cool-looking pants.

Brittany Talarico, Senior Style Editor: My little brother is a senior in college, which means a lot of all-nighters in front of the computer cramming 10-page papers. These blue-light blocking glasses are not only practical for his study sessions, but thanks to DIFF’s design team, they also look super-cool.

Kaitlyn Frey, Assistant Style & Beauty Editor: Cashmere sweats are something that my men would never splurge on for himself, but I know once he slips into them and experiences the buttery-soft feel, he will be eternally grateful. I love NakedCashmere because they're able to keep their prices on the lower side for cashmere, since they work directly with factories in Mongolia, which produce their 100% fair trade, sustainable and cruelty-free fabrics.

Sarah Ball, Market Editor: My boyfriend's shoe closet is looking more and more like a sneaker store every day. So instead of adding to his half a dozen collection of Nike sneakers, I'm getting him a sophisticated pair he can wear with literally anything (while still looking put together). These buttery-soft suede KOIO kicks add instant polish to any non-dressy outfit (also known as boyfriend's everyday uniform). Plus, the hunter green hue is stylish, yet neutral enough for day-to-day wear.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: My brother loves to work out (which makes me question if we're really related) and he recently mentioned that he heard CBD is good for muscle recovery (whatever that is). I asked the experts at Standard Dose to recommend a CBD cream for athletes and they said to try this potent formula which contains 750mg of broad spectrum hemp CBD extract, plus menthol and rosemary. I might have to buy one for myself just in case I pull a muscle reaching for the remote on the couch.

Hanna Flanagan, Editorial Assistant: This is not your average hair pomade. Not only is it Patrick Dempsey-approved (his hairstylist wife of 20 years, Jillian, created it), it also has a chic, mess-free and TSA-friendly stick dispenser. Roadie makes it easy to achieve piecey, wind-blown texture, without ever looking over-done or — dare I say — waxy.

With four cult-favorite products, the skincare starter kit is perfect for any man who can tally his grooming colleciton on one hand.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: After a recent beach vacation where my significant other wore the same faded, baggy board shorts every day, I realized that it was time to upgrade his swimwear.
