Tips for Updating Dad's Wardrobe

Dad's usually have a few favourite shirts, ok they have one favourite shirt. And they wear it all the time.

Helping Dad update his wardrobe is a great gift to give this Father's Day.

Find out his size - be exact.

Get Mum to help with this one, finding out Dad's exact size here is key.

You'll want to make sure Dad feels completely comfortable if it's to become his favourite new item and the size is probably the hardest thing to get right.

Now it's time for a little research.

Look up cool, trending men's fashion, what's George Clooney wearing?

Maybe Dad likes a retro style, retro styles are always coming back into fashion with new twists and maybe that's a perfect idea.

Whether it's a leather jacket, the perfect fitting pair of comfy jeans, a new favourite T-shirt - you'll find great ideas online and sites like Pinterest are great for research.

Don't be afraid of spending a bit more.

You might be lucky and find something perfect at one of the cheaper stores but generally something trendy and good quality will be found at the slightly more expensive stores.

If something seems too expensive for a Father's Day gift, show off your research join forces with your mum and other siblings to get something really nice. 

Show him some of the best pieces, see what he likes and doesn't like, presenting a range of ideas here is key.

Yes, you'll be spoiling the surprise but it really is worth it to ensure you get something Dad has a hand in choosing.

Go shopping!

Now the fun part, go shopping and buy it!

If you're met with nothing but resistance the entire way, one last resort is to take Dad shopping himself, you need to frame this proposition carefully though.

"I"m taking you to try on a new jacket," is a nice neutral phrase that doesn't imply the suburban hell that probably pops into his mind as soon as the word "shopping" is mentioned and makes it seem that you have something in mind already, all things that will help persuade him to go.
