Father's Day
Ahead of Father's Day, we spoke to a few fashion designers to find out the one must-have item—be it an outfit or accessory—that would make the perfect gift for dads. Their picks aim to add a stylish touch that instantly elevates any look, helping dads feel smart and dashing for the occasion.
Here's what they had to say!
'A
tailored linen shirt
in a versatile neutral shade'
Designer Saggar Mehra shares, 'Father's Day is the perfect occasion to gift something that's both meaningful and valuable. One must-have item I always recommend is a tailored linen shirt in a versatile neutral shade—think ivory, slate blue, or soft sand brown. It's effortlessly elegant, breathable for summer, and can be dressed up or down with ease. Whether he's heading to a brunch, a casual evening out, or just relaxing in style, this shirt adds that refined, dashing edge without feeling overdone.
It's a timeless wardrobe staple that makes any dad feel sharp, confident, and appreciated.'
'A timeless, well-tailored bandhgala'
'A timeless, well-tailored bandhgala is my go-to Father's Day gifting idea. It's an effortlessly elegant piece that instantly adds polish and charm to any look, whether it's for a formal celebration or a quiet dinner with loved ones. I like to fuse Indian silhouettes with modern detailing, so even a classic bandhgala can feel contemporary and cool.

Pair it with sharp trousers or even jeans, and it makes every dad feel confident, smart, and stylish,' says designer Rizwan Shaikh.
'An embroidered kurta jacket'
Designer Saurabh Gupta says, 'This Father's Day, give him more than just a gift—give him a moment to feel seen, stylish, and celebrated. I believe a sharp silhouette inspires confidence. An embroidered kurta jacket, featuring nature, floral, bird, or coastal motifs along with handcrafted detailing, brings a fresh edge to his timeless charm—and takes his style to the next level.
It's a heartfelt way to say, 'You're my hero, and you deserve to shine.

'Kurta set with heritage chikankari embroidery'
'The love from a father is timeless and this Father's day that's exactly how we should felicitate that selfless affection. The perfect way to express gratitude would be gifting an elegant ivory kurta set with heritage chikankari embroidery details. To celebrate our joy and an eternal bond,' says designer Kunal Anil Tanna.
'A well-tailored blazer'
Designer Nikhil Thampi shares, 'A well-tailored blazer is my go-to Father's Day gift recommendation.
There's something transformative about a perfectly fitted blazer; it instantly elevates any look, whether paired with jeans for a smart-casual evening or worn over a crisp shirt for more formal occasions. The key is choosing a classic piece in a classic navy or charcoal that can transition seamlessly from day to night.
Quality fabric with a contemporary cut, not too boxy or too slim. A good blazer should feel like armor that boosts confidence the moment it's worn. The investment is worth it because a quality blazer becomes a wardrobe staple that gets better with age, much like the dads we're celebrating. It's practical luxury, stylish enough to make them feel dashing, versatile enough to become their go-to confidence booster.'
