This year in Canada Father’s Day is on Sunday, the 21st of June. Although it's a day of much celebration for many households, dads are not always the center of attention, even on big events like Father’s Day. So, why not change that this year? Your dad deserves to be spoiled rotten, and if there’s one gift they’ll love the most, it's comfortable loungewear.
Today's This Is J Father’s Day loungewear gift guide offers a few ideas for the most comfortable gifts for dad. With this guide, you won’t be second-guessing your decisions. Nor will you be left scrambling to come up with something your dad would love to receive.
Why Loungewear Makes a Great Gift
The go-to gifts for Father’s Day usually include everything from tech gadgets and fishing gear to car items and grill accessories, but your dad deserves comfort, too. So, this year, get him something he won’t buy himself, like loungewear.
In our experience, most dads won’t admit how much they love to receive something cozy, warm, and comfortable that they can wear. But when they get their hands on a Father's Day loungewear gift, the gift's practicality usually wins them over. Also, these gifts tend to be more affordable even when you’re buying higher-end pieces.
However, not just any old pajama set or loungewear set will do. We recommend that you take your time looking for a few quality items. This is often better than buying a bunch of sets that will remain in his wardrobe year-round.
After all, the goal is to buy him something he reaches for. You want him to wear it on lazy Sunday afternoons in front of the telly as he enjoys his favourite shows.
Men's Loungewear Styles
When you’re ready to buy your dad his loungewear Father’s Day gift, you also need to consider which style of clothing you want to get him. Considering there are so many different styles to choose from, it can be difficult to pick between them. However, even so, the tried-and-tested best options remain classic pajama sets, jogger-and-t-shirt combinations, and robes for relaxing.
What to Look For
We know you may not have the most experience buying your dad comfortable loungewear. That’s okay, but because of this, we want to help point out a few tips on what you can look for when you’re online shopping:
-
Fabrics that are soft and breathable: Men sweat more than women…no, really. It's a scientific fact. Since you don’t want dear old dad to feel uncomfortable in his loungewear, you need to look for breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics like bamboo.
-
Loungewear that offers a good fit: You don’t want anything too tight or too baggy, as you want the gift to be comfortable. So make sure you find a fit that lets dad move easily and look good even on those lazy Sunday mornings.
-
Pajamas with quality construction: Have you ever put on a pair of pajamas and seen the seams already unraveling, or the fabric cut so poorly that it fits awkwardly? If so, you know exactly how frustrating this experience can be. That’s why it's important to check for pajama construction before you buy your dad a set.
-
Materials that are easy to care for: Let’s be real, there's a high chance your dad isn’t going to spend his precious free time learning and then continuing to care for finicky pajama or loungewear sets. For this reason, it's best to choose a Father's Day pajama gift set that is easy to care for, like those made from Bamboo. They should also be machine washable with no complicated instructions to follow.
Matching Family Options
It might not be every dad's cup of tea, but a matching Father’s Day gift set might be just the cutest gift ever! So, if you're buying this gift for your husband on behalf of the kiddies, just remember to buy the matching kids' sets too. We offer plenty at This Is J.
What's more, these matching sets can be worn repeatedly. You can bust them out for movie nights, breakfast shenanigans where everyone's fighting over the last pancake, and even family photo shoots.
In addition, you could even take it a step further by buying yourself a matching couples set. You could wear this set with the father of your children when you want to be cute and matchy-matchy.
Sizing and Fit Guide
Buying loungewear for anyone, not just for your father, can be a little daunting. That’s why you might find our tips surrounding sizing and fit below helpful:
How to Guess His Size
If you’re not sure which size to order, it's always a good idea to check the tags on your dad's favorite loungewear pieces. In most instances, this can give you a good indicator of what size to get. However, you could also size up if you’re worried their old set isn’t quite true to size.
Just remember to also check the size guide for the store you plan to buy from. Doing this can help ensure the clothing has the right measurements.
At This Is J, we have a size guide that can help you pinpoint the right size for your Father's Day loungewear gifts. We also make our clothing roomier for a more relaxed, non-restrictive fit, so bear this in mind when choosing sizes.
Bamboo’s Forgiving Stretch
Cotton is always a safe choice for pajamas and loungewear. However, you might find that your dad prefers the luxury feel of bamboo. This material offers a forgiving stretch. At This Is J, our signature blend of 93% bamboo viscose and 7% spandex ensures each item moves with him.
In addition, bamboo is a fabric that drapes effortlessly while holding onto its shape without feeling clingy. It's also soft against the skin and often free of harsh chemicals and flame retardants.
Buy Someplace Offering Simple Exchange Policies
There are times when you may need to exchange a gift or two. It sucks, but it happens. That’s why, before you buy your Father's Day gifts, make sure the place you plan to buy from offers a simple exchange policy. In these situations, we recommend choosing a place that lets you swap for a better fit, because we know you want Dad to love how his pajamas feel.
Presentation Ideas
When it comes to gift-giving, presentation matters almost as much as the gift you get. However, we know that presentation isn’t everyone's forte. It often requires a knack for the creative, which, admittedly, we don’t all possess.
Fortunately, you have a few simple presentation options for Father's Day gifting that don’t require much creativity. For example, you could go with the traditional gift-wrapping route and choose clean, modern wrapping paper. You could also choose a gift box with soft tissue paper or simply tie a ribbon around the pajama set you buy.
Besides gift wrapping, you could also present your Father's Day gifts alongside other gifts. For instance, you can pair a new loungewear set with his favorite coffee beans, alcoholic beverage, or a book he’s got his eye on.
In addition, if you really want to go all out, you can make the gift personal. What we mean by this is adding a note from the kids to the gift or even scheduling a Father's Day brunch where everyone shows up in their matching sets.
Upgrade His Downtime With a Father’s Day Loungewear Gift
Father's Day is right around the corner. So it's best to get cracking on what you’re going to get the dad or dads in your life. We hope the ideas we shared have given you some ideas about what you could get and how you can present your gift.
However, if you’re unsure what your dad would like, it's time to explore your options at This Is J. We offer everything from loungewear pieces like joggers and t-shirts to pajama sets and robes. So, have a look here and splurge a little on a gift your dad’s going to love.
