Father's Day is just around the corner ... as in this weekend ... and we bet many of you are just now starting to think about what to buy for dear ol' dad.
If you so happen to have a dad who is always looking rather dapper, we've pulled together a cool collection of some really fashionable finds.
Plaid bow ties and colorful tees ... an over-dyed hoodie with leather trim and classic, yet modern moccasins are all included in this must-have list of great gifts for Dad. We've got seersucker pants, perfect for those summer garden parties and a fun pair of citrus hued board shorts, perfect for the beach. Our favorite? The rubber watch offered in a variety of fun, fresh colors!
Tick tock, tick tock ... you've only got two days left!

A pocket square can work in two ways: it can be a flourish of color erupting out of your breast pocket or it can be a crisp, structured piece of fabric showing power a la Don Draper from "Mad Men." I myself have a big arsenal of pocket squares €“ maybe a little too big. There was one point in my sartorial life when I kept on buying pocket squares without thinking. I was obsessed. Now that I look in the drawer that is specifically designated for my squares, I look at some of them and say, "What in the hell was I thinking?" That said, don't make the same mistake I did. Keep it simple and/or bold. When choosing patterned squares, pick one that will be suitably showcased in your pocket. Remember- for the most part, the pocket square won't be seen in its entirety. Whether you choose the classic J. Crew white linen pocket square or something from the dapper man's Mecca, FineAndDandyShop.com , a gentleman should have at least one in his wardrobe. Choose from my picks in the SLIDESHOW and you'll be the ultimate purveyor of dandyism.
