RI Beauty Expert: Stylish Father’s Day Gifts
Saturday, June 13, 2015
Dad’s public persona will always be his ride. And detailing his car is a great Father’s Day gift. But what if you also want to keep the old man looking as presentable as his car? Here are some stylish thoughts on the matter:
Elevate His Ordinary
The Art of Shaving has all those shaving treats Dad wants but won’t spring for. We especially love the Lavender Shaving Kit which includes a soothing after-shave balm in a field-fresh scent. Already a creature of habit, get Dad started on exploring this great store for tools of the trade and helpful facial care advice. Providence Place

Dad’s hands work hard but look and feel scruffy. Aveda Hand Relief gives serious soothing without the femme florals. Creamy, massage-worthy relief. Spa Mosaic, Wakefield
Get the Belt
Kiel James Patrick’s The Captain Belt Collection is made in America. Dad will love that as well as the nautical themes which don’t overpower but still say moneyed in an easy old-fashioned way. Wilson’s, Wickford
Head Cover
Hot summer sun calls for a stylish lid. Look for debonair-sexy fedoras. Find one with a crisp striped ribbon to add bit of mystery to his weekend-casual shorts and shirts. Get ‘em out of the baseball caps, girls! TJ Maxx
Cuff Him
The skull motif has finally managed up to the board room. The executive’s favorite accessory, the cufflink, arrives in whimsical skulls with headphones and crystal eyes. Brit company Tateossian, makes links in cool metals with moving parts too. Uber-cool. Milan Fine Clothier, Providence
Paternity Testing
Take Dad out to test drive some new scents. Let him select his own from a vast array of designer colognes. Valentin Uomo Edition Noire has bergamot AND coffee notes. Shaped like a grenade and heavy in the hand, it will give him the jolt he craves. Macy’s
