You literally can’t go wrong with a new polo shirt for Father’s Day, and the Brooks Brothers Performance Series Striped Pique Polo Shirt is an excellent pick.

Piglet in Bed, Men’s Berry Gingham Pajama Pants
On Sale 29% off

$67 Buy Now

“I gave my husband a pair of Piglet in Bed linen pajama pants—just the pants, not the matching PJ shirt since he prefers to sleep in an old T-shirt or sans top—and he’s been raving about them since. They feel like you’re wearing the softest, coziest bedding, which makes sense, since that’s what Piglet in Bed is known for. This particular pair is super lightweight, which is great for summer (hello, thermo-regulating fabric!) and oversized which my husband prefers,” Vaynshteyn says. “Plus, the gingham patterns is so cute and vintage! I gave him the Berry Gingham, but Piglet in Bed has a few other colors to choose from.”
