Generic gifts? Not on our watch. From mountain peaks to city streets, it’s time to bring fresh energy to Father’s Day with contemporary streetwear, high-performance gear, and cool interiors alike. Curated from Borderfree’s leading global brands, we’ve shopped for every kind of Dad. Let’s break it down by his vibe… So, whatever your timezone, Memorial Day shopping starts… now!

Groomed

Take his top shelf to Marie Kondo levels of organization with quality grooming essentials. Soothing, skincare-informed shave lotions, artisan-made shaving brushes, and deeply hydrating face masks… self-care is officially on the to-do list. (And as for that notorious 6-in-1 shampoo? Good riddance.)

Sporty

Golf, snow sports, cycling, and surfing: this is high-performance excellence for the gold-medal dad. Tap into Borderfree’s best-in-class sporting brands (like Fusalp and Condor) for engineered expertise, built to perform on mountain peaks and ocean breaks. Finally, a ‘wise investment’ even Dad will agree with.

Trendy

If you find yourself ‘borrowing’ from his closet more often than you’d like to admit, here’s a shopping list you can share. Streetwear staples and box-fresh sneakers: you’ll both love these curated, contemporary classics that are easy to style.

Homely

From the Parisian cool of Maison Kitsuné’s candles to The Elder Statesman’s luxe L.A. cashmere, this one’s for the homebodies. Turn his space into an Architectural Digest-worthy setup with cohesive, design-forward soft furnishings and novelties, sourced from around the world (via us).

Adventurous

Wild camping and endless hiking: if quality time means disappearing into the Great Outdoors, this edit’s for him. Strategic and well-designed activewear will adjust to his ever-changing environment, led by Borderfree’s premium performance brands.

Tailored

Add fresh vision to Dad’s rotation of tailored classics. Headed by a perennial summer favorite — linen — this season’s hero pieces promise to become new forever favorites. Expect to see boxy cuts, serene colorways, and quality textiles on a dad near you.

Relaxed

If he’s mastered the art of chill, it’s time to level up his lounge game. Upgrade his couch potato uniform with new sweats in James Perse’s revered cashmere, London-made loungewear from Desmond & Dempsey, and cozy, Dad-approved socks from VIBAe.
