5 stylish Father's Day gift ideas
Article content Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content Father's Day is your chance to show your dad just how much he means to you — and also the perfect excuse to upgrade his style with a gift that's both thoughtful and chic. Article content Article content Whether he's a fashion-forward gent or more of a low-key legend, Rebecca Tay rounds up five gifts to suit every type of dad: pieces that will give his everyday routine a stylish edge. From small but punchy splurges to meaningful tokens with major charm, this year, make him feel celebrated, appreciated, and effortlessly cool. Article content Article content Sure, an outdoor barbecue may be a slightly cliché Father's Day gift, but for multiple reasons. First of all, if he needs one, there's no better time to get one (as in, early in the summer and also for the occasion). Then, of course, it's something that everyone gets to enjoy. Sure, Dad gets to show off his grill skills, but everyone in his inner circle tends to reap the rewards: yummy burgers, steaks, plus borrowing rights, too. Article content New tennis racquet, designer golf tees, a personalized soccer jersey: if your dad's a sports junkie, chances are, you've gifted him plenty of accessories and equipment over the years. But if you haven't played a game of pickleball with him, or he's always up for trying something new, this stylish set is a great starter kit for a game that's fun and easy to learn, whether he's ultracompetitive or just in it for the laughs. Article content Article content For dads that almost always have their laptop in tow, this navy fox head tote by Parisian brand Maison Kitsuné is a perfect option if his bag could do with an upgrade. It's sophisticated enough to wear to work with chinos or even suit trousers, but not as out of place as a leather briefcase or bag if you're out for dinner or weekend brunch. Article content Known for its evocative names and scents that ring true to these names, D.S. & Durga's candles make great gifts for the house-proud dad who also has an appreciation for cool, contemporary brands. Concrete After Lightning will remind city slicker dads of the smell of a sizzling pavement after a downpour: a reminder of welcome showers in the muggy, humid heat of summer. Article content Save a year, splurge the next? If your budget allows for a Father's Day gift that will really, truly knock his socks off, Omega has just released one of its most iconic watches in a new, stainless steel version. Originally launched in 1957, the Railmaster was designed for railway staff, with anti-magnetic properties for scientists, engineers and anyone else who worked around rail lines (the two other watches in the 'Professional Line' included the Speedmaster, for race car drivers, and the Seamaster, for ocean divers). Now relaunched with a stainless steel bracelet, it's a classic for the ages — a gift for true watch connoisseurs. Article content Article content

5 versatile beach bags to tote around this summer
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. For the last few seasons, designer wicker totes and raffia beach bags have given new meaning to the term 'beach to boardwalk'. Indeed, styles that move effortlessly from sand to city are key to ensuring your summer includes as many beach visits as possible, without sacrificing any of the essentials: SPF, a good read, a snack or two and the all-important sunnies. Rebecca Tay presents five beach bags that prove that practicality and polish can go hand in hand. TONI FIFI X REITMANS STRAW BAG Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. A welcome email is on its way. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of West Coast Table will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. Toronto-based stylist, influencer and on-air fashion expert Toni Fifi — @tonififi — has created a limited-edition collection with Canadian brand Reitmans, and we're loving the printed, bold pieces, as well as this straw tote. Not too big, not too small, the all-black, adjustable straps and hardware give it a streamlined, sleek look that's perfect for days out and dinner alike. Reitmans, | $59.90 STRIPED TOTE WITH LEATHERETTE TOP HANDLES We've all seen a striped summer tote before, but this one feels slightly different as it merges a market bag and a beach bag to feel suitable for, well, both. With a large compartment that will fit everything from your fresh produce to magazines and a sarong, it's a chic, Hamptons-inspired take on a style that will definitely see you through the season — and beyond. Joe Fresh, | $29 ALL SEASON GEAR TOTE True to its B.C. roots, Herschel knows that a Canadian summer is just as likely to include trips to the cabin, complete with a ferry ride and pebble beach walk, as it is days on the sand. Enter this All Season Gear Tote, which comes in two sizes: 63L and 33L. Part of the brand's Outdoor Equipment performance line, it's made from custom All Season fabric, has a double-layer base and nylon handles for sturdiness and durability, and a roomy main compartment for wine, extra clothing, swimming flippers, a portable speaker and more — basically everything you need for a great summer's day out. Herschel, | $95 (small) and $125 (large) BEACH CLUB CANVAS TOTE Is there anything more iconic than a printed canvas tote? Sure, we'd all love to find a good vintage one at a charity shop, but barring that, there's this SENN House Beach Club version by Oak and Fort. Laid-back and cool, it has double shoulder straps for comfort and strength and a structured base for extra stability, meaning you can stuff it to overflowing and it won't — or at least it shouldn't — tip over. Oak and Fort, | $48 SANS-ARCIDET PARIS OVERSIZED BRAIDED RAFFIA TOTE Founded 25 years ago in Madagascar by three sisters, Sans-Arcidet Paris is a relatively under-the-radar brand known for its elegance and craftsmanship. Case in point: this oversized, braided raffia bag, which features drawstring cords that knot at the bottoms and tie-dyed fastenings for a sense of modernity. Wear with cropped trousers for weekend errands, with a bikini at the beach, and with a black dress for an evening out. Simons, | $275

5 fabulous flat sandals for spring and summer
Article content Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content If there was a single clothing item that could prove that comfort and style truly can go hand in hand, it's a pair of flat sandals. From sleek leather slides to a modern take on fisherman sandals, these sandals will bring effortless polish to any springtime look. Rebecca Tay explores five of the season's best pairs: Article content Article content Article content Sure, these puffy strap Perrie sandals by Miz Mooz aren't technically flat, but they're just as comfortable, thanks to their flatform silhouette, and perhaps even more versatile with the resulting two-inch lift you'll get with them strapped to your feet. Float through spring and summer by wearing these with shorts or wide-leg trousers for day and dresses and skirts for evening. Article content Merging the best parts of an espadrille and a slide, these Erireni sandals in a dreamy pastel yellow hue are a surprising multitasker. Teamed with a summer dress in a matching colour, they look effortlessly elegant for errands or even a baby shower. Try them with cropped pants or jeans for a more relaxed, casual weekend feel. Article content Made in Italy from soft black leather, these sandals are a chic hybrid between a chunky, not-too-girlie fisherman sandal and a slip-on-and-go mule. What's more, the classic black hue makes them a smart, no-brainer choice for office days and when you're running short on time, while the easy shape all but guarantees they'll be on high rotation in your wardrobe this summer. Article content Article content Article content We remember a time when sandals with large cross-crossing straps were mainly fashioned from rubber and worn by grandpa types or to take out the trash. These days, like most things from the '90s, there's something reassuringly nostalgic about the silhouette — though the padded straps on this Jackie style is nothing if not modern. They also come in tan, white, black and a fun, bright tomato red, so you can literally wear them with every outfit this season. Article content With their artfully braided strap, these Wisteria sandals from Browns Shoes' in-house label, Browns Couture, were seemingly made for minimalists with an eye for those extra details. The upper snakes gracefully around your feet, while the cushioned flat sole means they're likely to stay comfortable for hours, no matter the occasion. Article content Article content
