The ELLE Editors’ Guide to Father’s Day Shopping

Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 Powerful Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

“If your dad’s an audiophile like mine, there’s no doubt he knows Bang & Olufsen. I find it a special treat when I have the opportunity to get him something from this brand, like this portable Bluetooth which not only has beautiful sound quality, but beautiful design, too. It also has eight hours of play time and a charging station for smartphones on the top, which is great when he wants to listen to his favorite tunes outside.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

Bulgari Le Gemme Tygar Eau de Parfum

“My dad’s favorite scent was a (probably expired) bottle of Calvin Klein Obsession that still sits in our family bathroom to this day. A nice upgrade would be this fancy perfume from Bulgari, which is gingery and woody with a hint of grapefruit. Of course, if I get this for him, he will faux-protest that it’s too expensive, but wear it all the time anyway.”—Kathleen Hou, beauty director

Thorsun Tattoo Flower 2 Printed Swim Shorts

“I love Thorsun for matching father-son looks. They’re great for family pics!”—Alexis Wolfe, fashion director

Wolf & Shepherd Crossover™ Longwing

“Dress shoes that feel like sneakers are my dad’s dream.”—Claire Stern, digital deputy editor

Individual Software Family Tree Heritage Gold 16

“I love to listen to my dad’s stories about my huge extended Syrian-Armenian family, though I find it kind of hard to keep those great-great aunts and second cousins twice removed straight…so I think it’s time to start on our official Anbouba family tree. I don’t only want to know how my ancestors were all connected, but also juicy bits like what they accomplished in life and even some family gossip. I think it’s going to be a beautiful bonding experience dad and I will both treasure.”—Margaux Anbouba, beauty editor

Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 2-in-1 16”

“While my dad loves the thrill of getting a new gadget, I think he’ll be floored by the latest 2-in-1 laptop from Samsung, which also acts as a tablet when folded back. The screen is big enough where he’ll be able to see everything—and naturally, since this is a Samsung product, the picture quality is amazing. Plus, given its functions, it’ll replace some of his other things, which I know my mom will be incredibly happy about.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

Williams Sonoma 4-Piece BBQ Set in Case, Black Handle and Skewers Pack

“The ultimate grill set.”—Alexis Wolfe, fashion director

Away The Medium

“My dad would always complain that my mom and I packed too much for trips, so this Medium suitcase from Away would have been a nice compromise, while still giving us some space limitations. It still needs to be checked, but it is larger than a carry-on, making it perfect for any trips over a week long. And in the event of overpacking, there’s a flex version which gives you slightly more ‘give.’”—Kathleen Hou, beauty director

Double Diamond 2019 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL

“He doesn’t drink much, but when he does, he loves a good red.”—Claire Stern, digital deputy editor

YETI V Series 55, Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Hard Cooler

“This is my dad’s dream cooler; he’s been talking about it for literal years. I think I’ll finally get it for him this year for Father’s Day (and hopefully I can borrow from time to time on weekends away, too!).”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

Hermès The Colognes Eau de Citron Noir

“I wouldn’t describe my dad as a luxury obsessive, with one exception: he loves all things Hermès. I believe he first got acquainted with the brand while living in France, and he appreciates its visual consistency and playfulness—as well as, of course, the quality of even the smallest items. I have given him assorted soaps and colognes (as well as a mini-glove I brought back from visiting the factory in Saint-Junien), so I think this fragrance in his favorite color would make a great next step. (Also, I just have to know how the description, ‘a surprisingly persistent freshness which rises to the challenge of tenacity,’ translates olfactorily!)”—Veronique Hyland, fashion features director
