Father's Day is only a few days away and if you haven't decided yet what to give dad, here are some luxury gifts you can splurge on. A Cartier watch (shown above ) perhaps?

My affinity to designer labels comes from my dad. I remember when I was in high school, I would take one of his Lacoste shirts with me and wear it to school. I learned from him then. Nowadays, the roles are reversed and I tell my dad what is hip and cool. Of course, I always tell him in subtle ways. One way of letting him know on trends is through gifts. Like last Christmas, I gave my dad a pair of Dolce & Gabanna aviators in replacement of his dated Raybans.

For Father's Day, as the old saying goes, 'It is the thought that counts'. You don't have to give dad designer stuff. But if you can afford it go for it!

Dude, Where's My Handbag?

Having resigned ourselves to the concept of the 'manbag', perhaps it's time to allow men to take embracing their feminine side to the next level with the 'manclutch.' Bags on display across the menswear ranges showed a distinct shift towards smaller, more decorative styles, with Gucci feeling that a quilted patent handheld is what the man on the street is truly screaming out for. Not to worry boys; next time your girlfriend borrows your razor or snuggles up in your favourite hoodie, ditch your messenger bag and show your revenge by skipping off with her diamonte trim purse. Just save room for your lipstick.

This hat is for the confident, cool, and collected man who wants to add a little pizzazz to his outfit. While Brad Pitt can chic up a plain T-shirt with the hat that reminds us of the silent actor Charlie Chaplin, the late comedian Bernie Mac was known make his sleek suits even more sophisticated with a wider-brimmed style. Are you ready to trade in your Dodgers or Dallas Cowboys cap for more fashionable headwear?

The holidays are great time to make a statement and fancy up your look (or even cover up a bad haircut!). Of course, as you try on the hat, be sure to really love this look. It's definitely a make-it or break-it type of accessory. And if it is your first time meeting the in-laws, you may want to stick with what you feel comfortable with!

In addition to scouting out your local vintage shops, here are a few retails outlets that carry great renditions of this trend:

* Urban Outfitters ($28 - $55)
* JCPenney ($40 - $55)
* Banana Republic ($40 - $62)

Men's Essentials: Cufflinks

Cufflinks are the least important of men's accessories. So they thought. Rather, cufflinks are like the cherries on sundaes or the bubble gum in blow-pops. Such a sad moment when I see a gentleman wearing an expensive suit whose neglected the cufflinks. Stylish men pay attention to details because that's what counts. If you want to step it up a few notches, consider a $4000 cherry to top your Sundae's best -- like these gems from Bulgari.
