Let’s face it: gift-giving is as much for you as it is for the willing recipient. There’s no better way to show you care than with a carefully selected, perfect present for that special someone. The only problem? With a lightning-quick tend cycle and thousands of brands, the best style gifts can also be difficult to identify, even if you consider yourself a tastemaker — an issue doubly befuddling when the giftee in question is also a person of abject coolness.

Fear not! The editors of InsideHook are here to rescue your image (and their holidays) with a comprehensive list of the best style gifts running the gamut from a much-needed sock refresh to the rugged waxed jacket to rule them all. We’ve picked out something for every fellow, with chic and suave gifts for your kick-flipping nephew, dapper brother-in-law, still-learning-how-to-dress boyfriend or your impossible-to-shop-for husband. Whoever is on your gifting list, rest easy knowing that you’ll find the hottest, trendiest, and otherwise most stylish items below.

A good piece of jewelry can enhance any outfit. A piece of Brilliant Earth jewelry does that and also feels good to wear. That’s because Brilliant Earth is an industry leader in sustainable, ethical sourcing and uses only recycled precious metals and “Beyond Conflict Free” diamonds to create a wide range of stylish classics. Good will towards men, meet good looking men. If men’s jewelry is a blind spot for you, start your search with this Engravable Cuff Bracelet from Brilliant Earth’s Homme men’s line. The beveled, high-polished edges bring a touch of modern style to a traditional silhouette.

Public Rec Weekend Half Zip
Public Rec Weekend Half Zip

Public Rec’s cozy half-zip might be called the Weekend, but we’ve found it to be perfectly acceptable for any day of the week. The midweight French Terry fabric is just the right weight, with enough heft to keep you warm and none of the unnecessary excess.

Nothing screams holiday present quite like some festive PJs — it’s practically a tradition at this point — and Shinesty’s collection of fun and cozy knits makes for the perfect giftable jammies. A load of playful designs, like these tree-adorned Red Ryder bottoms, are an easy (and relatively inexpensive) way to make his Christmas morning…or to avoid the White Elephant debacle of last year.

Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt

The suavest of wardrobes are built on the backs of basics, which makes pieces like the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt indispensable, and therefore a killer gift. The sweater is woven from not-too-heavy loopback French Terry and features archival Champion stitching: everything you need in a lightweight layer.

Astorflex Greenflex Boot
Astorflex Greenflex Boot

Chukkas are the holy grail of office shoes: dressy enough to wear to work but comfortable and laid back enough to wear to happy hour. The Astorflex Greenflex is a great example of how good the gift of Chukka can be, with soft European leather, a 100% rubber outsole and an undeniable Steve McQueen vibe.

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket

Rugged and stylish. Hard-wearing and versatile. There’s an abundance of laudatives that Flint and Tinder’s best-selling Flannel-Lined Trucker Jacket rightfully deserves, so you should only concern yourself with which burnished shade you’re going to choose to give him.

Jaxxon Rope Chain
Jaxxon Rope Chain

A subtle piece of jewelry can elevate any outfit. Jaxxon has affordable pieces like this rope chain or the classic cuban link. Almost all of their pieces come in multiple size lengths and you can even snag some items on sale for the holiday season.

Vuori Strato Tech Tee

We previously described Vuori’s Strato Tech Tee as “maybe the softest workout shirt in existence.” We firmly stand by this assessment: woven from a proprietary Strato Tech and bolstered by a stretchy athletic fit, it truly is a heavenly tee.

Popeye Magazine
Popeye Magazine

Great taste is informed by aspiration, and few publications do aspirational better than Popeye Magazine. The “magazine for city boys” may be printed in its native Japanese, but one peek at the glossy spends and he’ll be positively raptured.

Ministry of Supply Atlas Waffle Roll Neck Sweater

Gift the perfect holiday and beyond rollneck this Christmas…or just buy it for yourself.

Bonobos Sweater Polo
Bonobos Sweater Polo

With a suit, under a sweater, dressing up some jeans. Business casual doesn’t even begin to capture the range of the sweater polo, and Bonobos does it better than most. The devil’s in the details — namely, a no-button Johny collar and vintage-inspired stitch.

Uniqlo HEATTECH Pile Socks
Uniqlo HEATTECH Pile Socks

You have been lied to. Whoever planted the seed that socks are a sucky gift clearly never tried the blissful experience of Uniqlo’s HEATTECH Pile Socks: if they had, they’d change their tune ASAP.

If the gent in question is at all concerned with how he looks beyond his threads (as most stylish men are), he’ll certainly appreciate some premium skincare products. Malin + Goetz’s Vitamin E moisturizer is revered for its nourishing properties, as he, the evolved man, will undoubtedly know.

Corridor Organic 5-Pocket Italian Denim Jeans
Corridor Organic 5-Pocket Italian Denim Jeans

To call Corrdior’s Italian denim a work of art would be to undersell the NYC-based boutique’s 5-pocket jeans: masterfully crafted from 14 oz. denim milled, sewn, and washed in Italy by Candiani, these pants are simultaneously idiosyncratic and as familiar as it gets.

Percival Munari Knitted Polo
Percival Munari Knitted Polo

If he knows his stuff, he might be aware of U.K.-based label Percival, but we’ll bet the house that he doesn’t have this eye-catching Munari Polo from their most recent collaboration with Campari. We’re willing to go double or nothing on the fact that he’ll dig the check of the knit, too.

Gap Flannel PJ Set
Gap Flannel PJ Set

Cozy flannel pajamas might be a holiday tradition, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t look good beyond the driveway, too.
