Shopping for your man can be challenging for the guy who has everything or exciting for the guy who needs a style influence. But either way it is important to know your man’s style. The goal is to get him something sexy and fresh that he will actually wear. However, it takes awhile to get to know someones style and to know what to purchase and what not to.
My husband is one of those rare men who has incredible style, he is easy to shop for, but I have heard from many of my customers that their men either hate or love jewelry, cufflinks and watches. So here are my favorite places to shop, online and in Seattle stores, for “haute” goods. It is always great to find new products and try new things, who knows your man might get a bit more into his style because of you.
Watches… Every man needs at least one, in my husband’s case it is 100, but every man is different and a watch that has character is much more sexy then a sport watch, so check out Watchismo.com they have a very rare selection of vintage watches as well as some much desired new brands like Nixon. Very chic.
Cuff Links… So important, even in the day of “casual day” cuff links still fall in the casual cateogory. There are so many options here. I personally love Private Screening in Fremont for vintage cuff links, but Neimans also has an incredible selection of new cuff links.
Jewelry… Johnny Depp has been my inspiration lately, having creating several necklaces inspired by his cover shot on GQ, which is so sexy. But my favorite place to purchase jewelry besides my own custom creations is Blackbird in Ballard, they have clean, modern pieces for men.
Ties… skinny ties are sexy and very current, think Mad Men for inspiration. My favorite skinny tie designer is Band of Outsiders also to be found at Blackbird.
Happy Shopping! Bentley always inspires me when shopping for my man, there is nothing that says sexy like a Bentley!
