Does your Dad commit the fashion crime of wearing his jeans up around his waist or still wear his sandals with socks? Help him update his wardrobe and bring him into the twenty-first century with a stylish new t-shirt or accessory for Father’s Day on June 20th.
To help decide what is key for updating a Dad’s wardrobe on a budget, United Colors of Benetton have created five simple and inexpensive ways to freshen up his look:
1. Wear more colour
This doesn’t need to be head-to-toe colour; a brightly coloured t-shirt is a great way to instantly update his wardrobe, and will liven up otherwise dull, neutral tones
2. Don’t be afraid of patterns
Keep his outfits looking fresh and summery with checks or stripes. If your Dad is scared to go it alone, slowly ease him into it with a patterned shirt or t-shirt under a sweater
3. Seek out an accessory
A simple scarf, funky bag or a really cool belt with a big buckle can make a boring pair of jeans and a shirt come alive, and is an inexpensive way to update his look while still making a fashion statement.
4. Funky Footwear
Footwear completes an outfit and fashionable sandals or funky flip-flops really makes a huge difference – and tired, tatty shoes should always be left at home
5. Classic pieces never age
If in doubt, he can never go wrong with a simple white shirt, v-neck sweater or a great-fitting pair of jeans
“Men sometimes get stuck in a fashion rut, wearing what they feel comfortable in and not really thinking about style or the impression their outfits are giving to the rest of the world”, says Ajai Dayal, Head of Retail and Marketing for Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group, of which Benetton is a member.
“Our families know us the best and with Father’s Day approaching, it is a great excuse for sons and daughters to make sure their dad’s wardrobes are no longer a fashion embarrassment! Benetton has a great range of menswear clothes and accessories to suit everyone’s budget, so there is sure to be something that would make the perfect present.”
