I spend my 9-to-5 doing market research for women’s fashion, but about a year ago, I began a side hustle as a menswear personal shopper. Now, I spend just as much time scrolling through the Men’s tab on my favorite sites, and I’ve learned something: Men’s clothing can be just as stylish as women’s clothing—you just have to know where to look.
As we enter the holiday season, I’m directing everyone to Nordstrom. It has such a wide range of men’s options, from classic cashmere crewnecks to new-season designer items like the Bottega Veneta card holder below. In my humble opinion, my list has the perfect number of fashion-person finds and items that won’t overwhelm those who couldn’t care less about what they wear. (I can’t relate.) So whether you’re shopping for your stylish grandpa or a friend who’s still wearing worn-out basketball shorts at age 30, these gift ideas are for you.

I’m pretty sure my dad has been stuffing his clothes into an old backpack when he travels, so this one will be heading his way.
