With summer fast approaching and Father’s Day right around the corner, we’ve come across an impressive selection of men’s clothing and accessories that strike the perfect balance of function, comfort, and subtle style—just enough to make dad feel truly appreciated. Helly Hansen, a longtime favourite among athletes and adventurers, offers a standout summer 2025 collection that’s well worth checking out.
Everyday Essentials
Let’s start with the essentials, Helly Hansen’s summer tees genuinely impressed us. Starting at just £25, they come in a wide range of both bold and understated colours and designs. Despite feeling featherlight, they hold their shape remarkably well after washing. With the more technical tees, the breathable cotton blend not only helps wick away heat but also stays opaque, even when things get sweaty.
The shorts are a technical-meets-casual hybrid with just enough stretch, deep pockets that don’t balloon, and a cut that flatters without being too flashy. There’s a subtle athletic look that feels intentional, not performative, making them a great everyday option to pair with a basic tee.
And to protect the head, we loved the HH Arc Bucket Hat, £80. Nicely structured without being stiff, it has clean lines and UPF protection. The design adds a subtle touch of flair with its blue-and-white faded print, distinctive enough to stand out, yet versatile enough to complement almost any outfit.
Footwear
If you’re going all out, then you cannot forget some fancy footwear! The Anakin Leather 2.0 are the star of the show for us – a pair of beautifully crafted trainers. The leather is supple, offering a soft, premium feel that speaks to its quality, while the matte finish adds a refined touch that elevates the overall look.
Comfort-wise, they’re very plush. There’s an ergonomic footbed that supports the arch, and the breathable lining keeps feet cool.
The design sits comfortably between streetwear and minimalism so probably smart enough to pair with chinos, and we bet you’d also get away with rocking them with shorts and no-show socks.
The full range of summer clothing and accessories offers effortless style with a focus on everyday comfort. So, if you’re looking for a practical gift for dad, this collection raises the bar with its blend of high-quality materials and clean, versatile design.
