It's a cliché because it's true: all dads want socks as gifts. They're practical, allow him to express his personality and show how well you know him. There's no better father's day gift than Pantherella socks, but it can be difficult to narrow down the best presents for dad. For a curated list of our recommendations, read below and identify which luxury socks will be your dad's perfect pair.
The Traditionalist
This dad is the eternally dapper gentleman. He has a timeless classic style, and whether attending a show on the West End or doing his weekly shop at Aldi, he will put the same consideration into his appearance. He's particular and knows exactly what he likes, and has been liking it for years. Treat him to men's dress socks that will slip effortlessly into his oxfords, in a smooth, breathable cotton lisle, temperature-regulating merino wool or, for the ultimate indulgence, a thin cashmere of unrivalled softness in fresh spring colours and tailored sizes.
The Adventurer
This dad doesn't believe in slowing down. From Thursday evening snooker club to Sunday afternoon countryside walks, he needs socks as everlasting as his energy. The perfect socks for him are durable, comfortable and have enough personality to pair with his well-worn hiking boots or grass-stained trainers. Pantherella's heavy-gauge leisure weight socks offer the perfect combination of form and function, keeping him looking as fresh as he feels through any activity.
The Conservative
Despite the warmer weather's approach, this dad prizes propriety, avoiding the faux pas of showing one's bare leg. For the dad who prefers the most traditional of styles, over-the-calf socks will keep him covered. Paired with chinos, trousers or jeans, our long men's socks extend to just under the knee and never slouch or ride down. At Pantherella, we preserve the traditional, and have a variety of plain and patterned full coverage socks that will keep your dad looking his finest.
The Sun Chaser
As much as he loves Britain, sometimes the weather doesn't love him back. Fortunately, you can ship Pantherella socks straight to his holiday home, whether it's in France or Florida. While he's there, help him keep his cool with low-cut no show socks in fresh Egyptian cotton, or make the transition from day to night a breeze with temperature-regulating merino wool invisible socks.
The Collector
For presents, like socks, sometimes one just isn't enough. While your dad will love and appreciate a single pair of Pantherella socks, he'll love an embossed gift box with two pairs twice as much. For a limited time only, we've produced two-pair men's gift boxes, featuring luxury cashmere, rugged cotton or adaptable merino wool, making it easy to find the perfect father's day gift idea whatever type of dad you have. You can also choose your own colours, for a custom socks gift box that is sure to impress.
