Father's Day Gifts for Your Fashion Loving Dad

When I think about shopping for Father's Day, certain stores just spring to mind...Canadian Tire, SportCheck and Mark's. If you've left your Father's Day shopping to the last minute, chances are you can get things all wrapped up with a visit to just one of these stores!

If you're looking to perk up the wardrobe of a father in your life, check out Mark's stores across Canada. Whether he's an outdoors adventurer most comfortable out in the bush, or a buttoned down guy most at home in a boardroom, you'll find something for every dad.

Check out a few of their popular pieces...

Casual shorts that will take him from your kids' soccer games to the neighbour's bbq. Fun patterns and details make these a steal at $39.99.

Sure, he's got a thousand polo shirts, but this interpretation is a little trendier and a little more relaxed. It's the DH3 Brushed Rugby Polo for $45.99 and it could become his weekend uniform!

Board Shorts.jpgWhether he's performing high dives from the cottage deck, or doing laps in the backyard pool, he'll be comfortable and look sporty in Denver Hayes Board Shorts for $34.99. At this price point, pick up two pairs because nobody wants to put on a damp bathing suit!

Finally, I've written before about Mark's Perfectly Pressed dress shirts. They fit great, wear so well and really don't wrinkle. This is a gift for him and for you because you'll never have to iron it! The shirts come in a variety of solids and patterns and are $54.99.

Something for everyone, and now something for you! Mark's is offering an UrbanMoms member a complete men's outfit valued at over $100. Tell me what you love to see your husband wearing, and you'll be entered to win this great prize.

I would love to see my hubbie in a pair of plaid shorts and matching polo shirt. Love that look and he is resisting me - but if he won a outfit, he'd have to wear it :-)

I love seeing my husband in a nice, well-fitting pair of board shorts at the lake or seaside... but this just doesn't happen however -- he wears his old, faded pairs of swim trunks that have to go! Would love to win some dapper new swim duds -- and a polo shirt or two to replace his worn out t-shirts too!

I love my husband dressed casually. Usually cargo shorts and a t-shirt

Colour, colour, colour!!! My hubby tends to stick to the navy blue and white shirts, shorts, pants - you name it. He has a couple coloured shirts (yellow - LOVE IT, orange, red) that have recently become part of his wardrobe.
So I would love to see some MORE colour! Maybe some pink, green, teal......something bright and energetic!

I would love to see my guy dressed in anything that isn't pj pants and (sometimes) a t-shirt or hoodie! He's a big man (6'4) so finding clothes for him at stores like Walmart is very hard! When he does out somewhere he does wear actual clothes. Usually jeans or khaki/cargo style pants, and a shirt that is just a tad too small *sigh*

I love to see my husband in younger, trendy clothes - like skate shoes, tattoo print t's and skinny jeans. He just doesnt suit a suit :) or more dressy clothes.

I like to see him in one of those Perfectly Pressed dress shirts and a pair of casual pants.

I like to see my hubby in nice jeans and colourful golf shirt...casual yet cute.

I like the Denver Hayes board shorts. My husband could use those in our pool.

i love to see him in longer, slimmer cut shorts with a pullover polo.

casual pants and pressed dress shirt

I love when my husband wears dress pants and dress shirts!

I like to see him in one of those Perfectly Pressed dress shirts and a pair of casual pants.

I love wrinkle free clothes for my husband because I hate the ironing bit, also I find they don't seem to get that rumplesd look by the end of a day.

I would love to see my husband in some new board swimming trunks. He has lost a lot of weight and needs new swim trunks. They would be perfect.

I like the striped polo shirt in the photo above (it is called the DH3 Brushed Rugby Polo). It would look nice on my husband since he always wears button-down dress shirts, even on the weekends. I think he needs a change, something more casual. That shirt would look great with the one pair of jeans he owns but never wears!

I would love to see him in one of the bathing suits because it would mean we were somewhere hot!

Forget the bathing suit, I prefer the birthday suit! I must admit, he looks best when he's not wearing anything at all!

I love to see my husband wearing a suit! He usually dresses casual so its nice to see him dressed up.

pop shirt and khaki's!

Definately casual pants and a neat looking polo shirt.

I love it when he wears casual pants and a funkier shirt. However he has nothing but jeans these days and is desperately in need of something new!

I really like to see my husband in a perfectly pressed shirt(that I didn't have to iron) and a pair of casual/dress pants!

I would like to see my husband in one of Mark's perfectly pressed dress shirts. They are so crisp it will look as if he just stepped out of the house all day long.

I'd love to see my hubby in a new pair of board shorts! He has these old swim trunks that are too short and look like something my Dad would wear! :P

I like seeing my husband in ANY wrinkle free type of clothes. He buys his own clothes at times and seems to pick things that wrinkle and he does not even care what it looks like. Some things are even hard to iron and in these days there is no time to spend loads of time doing such.

I would love to see my boyfriend in anything besides dirty old work clothes :)
