Father’s Day is just around the corner (June 21!), which means it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll be celebrating your pops this year.

We went through If These Walls Could Talks’ best expert recommendations to curate a gift guide full of Dad-friendly Father’s Day presents.

We love our practical dads and outdoor dads, but this Father’s Day gift guide is for the dads who love tapping into their stylish side. We’ve rounded up the best design-driven picks from some of our favorite experts. Read on for under-$65 sunglasses, a cashmere polo that’s $500 off, and more.

Perfect for the dad who likes to keep it casual, this elevates his go-to sweatshirt into something a little more…cashmere. Best of all? This celeb-stylist-loved pick is now on sale for $500 off.

“This cashmere rugby polo is one of those pieces that instantly elevates a man’s wardrobe,” celebrity stylist Anna Lavo told us in March after naming it one of the best men’s shirts for spring. “The oversized fit feels modern and relaxed, while the grey color keeps it timeless and easy to style with everything from tailored trousers to denim.”

Cocktail Kingdom Koriko Weighted Shaking Tins, $27 at Cocktail Kingdom

If Dad considers himself a bit of a mixologist, these sleek, Japanese-made weighted shaking (and stirring!) tins will make a great gift. Whether he’s kicking back at the end of the day with a pisco sour or mixing up the perfect old fashioned, the tins make the perfect vessel for his creations.

They’re also a go-to for mixologist and founder of Berlin’s Mr. Susan cocktail bar, Susan Choi.

“I think ultimately, when it comes down to serving a good cocktail, it's about keeping the integrity of the drink. Koriko is great: The way their steel is, it provides great insulation. Your ice shakes and dilutes like it needs to for a cocktail,” Choi told us. “Technically speaking, it works really, really well.”

Meller Hasan sunglasses, $65 at Meller

Perfect for the dad who has an eye for style, Barcelona-based Meller sunglasses are a great pair of sunglasses at an accessible price. They come highly recommended by Skift’s Gordon Smith, an airlines editor who spends a significant portion of his time traveling. For him, durable, well-designed sunglasses are a must when he’s on the go. Plus, that geometric, not-quite-round shape? So cool.

““They come in cool colors, have a bit more of an independent vibe, interesting shape, and they do the job really well,” Smith told us. “I really like the color, and they’re not full circle frames. I don't want to look like John Lennon.

They're super practical, [and] they're not expensive at all, so you don't feel like you're paranoid about losing them or getting them scratched. But at the same time, they feel really durable.”

Monos Carry-On Plus, $295 at Monos

A great carry-on suitcase is hard to find, and Monos’ Carry-On Plus has risen to the top of the carry-on pile, thanks to its sleek design, durability, and under-$300 price tag. For dads who love to travel, this bag makes a great pick. It also gets a top vote from someone who definitely knows best: an Airbus pilot who lives out of her suitcase.

“The best carry-on suitcase I’ve found so far is the Carry-On Plus from Monos,” Airbus pilot Fiona Morrison told us. “I take advantage of my flight benefits, and I always bring this bag with me. Whether I’m flying in the U.S. or internationally, I can pack plenty inside, and it fits in every overhead bin.”
