Admittedly, shopping for Christmas gifts for the men in our lives can be a little more challenging than shopping for the ladies. To help you figure things out and give you much needed ideas, check out the newest collections from our favorite brands — all of which are now available and ready for you to wrap and leave under the tree!
MCS: Rough and rugged
American clothing company MCS is all about the independent, rugged man who lives life boundlessly. If you have a man in your life whose personal philosophy is to explore every corner of the world and find adventure in even the little things, then he’ll appreciate what MCS has in store this season.
The season’s standout pieces are fashionably washed out and distressed polos, jackets and shirts, giving outfits that sought after lived in and broken in vibe. Designs are frill-free, great for everyday casual looks and focus on comfort and utility.
MCS is located at Glorietta 4, Robinsons Place Manila, Shangri-la Plaza Mall, SM Megamall and Abreeza Davao.
Limited Edition Lacoste
Once Christmas rolls in, the crocodile-loving brand comes out with a special Holiday Collector Edition that’s a result of a collaboration with other creative minds, giving those loyal to Lacoste something to look forward to each year.
This year, French graphic designer Jean-Paul Goude reinvents the iconic crocodile, featuring it on limited edition polo shirts, bomber jackets and bags, among others. One look at the design and it’s obvious that it’s a much more colorful and festive take on the world famous logo!
Men who love to collect rare fashion finds and limited edition items that only a handful of people have will surely appreciate this.
This collection will be available in all LACOSTE stores worldwide from November 2016 onwards.
Keeping it classy with Montblanc
For this gift idea, have in mind the gentlemen who prize class and sophistication above all else.
Since 1992, luxury writing instrument maker Montblanc has been releasing the strictly limited Montblanc Writers Edition. The collection pays tribute to the greatest icons of literary history, and this year, they honor none other than English playwright, poet and actor William Shakespeare. Fittingly, 2016 also marks the 400th anniversary of his life’s achievements.
The William Shakespeare Limited Edition 1597 is decorated with Tudor design elements reminiscent of the era in which Shakespeare wrote most of his plays. To complete the Collection, Montblanc is also introducing two pairs of circular cufflinks with the Tudor rose as the central motif.
Montblanc is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Newport Mall, Resorts World, Rustan’s Cebu, Ayala Center, Greenbelt 5 and City of Dreams Manila.
Prim, proper and practical with Preto
Ricardo Preto is one of Rustan’s newest brands, and soon to become one of its most popular.
Their styles are the definition of versatility and timelessness in terms of color, style and material. Functional and reasonably priced pieces are appropriate for work and for play, and are easily mixed and matched — qualities that the practical-minded man in today’s world highly values!
As Donnie Tantoco, President at Rustan Supercenters Inc., describes the brand’s aesthetic, Ricardo Preto proves that looking good and dressing well doesn’t mean having to break the bank!
Ricardo Preto Exclusive For Rustan’s and U by Ricardo Preto are available at Rustan’s Ayala Center Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Rustan’s at Gateway Mall Cubao, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center and Rustans’s Ayala Center Cebu.
Dreaming big with Metropolitan Dream by Nakata
This is for men that like to add that little detail to their outfits that makes all the difference.
Men’s jewelry brand Damiani introduces its newest collection, Metropolitan Dream by H. Nakata. As a model and trendsetter himself, this Japanese icon’s creations are fresh and remade for the urban man.
The complete 21-piece collection features necklaces, bangles and bracelets in pink gold as well as black gold versions, while both lines have diamonds as integral parts of their designs as well as leather straps.
Damiani and the Metropolitan Dream by H. Nakata collection are exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati and Shangri-La.
