What’s up with that guy in the office who always has the latest kicks, newest collab, and just right jacket? How does he know about such dope gear? His nonchalant smug is insufferable. But you like him. So what to buy this man who seems to know everything about style? You’re in the right place.

Oh, and if you're also shopping for gifts for her, we have those too.

Cole Haan
01
Cole Haan 2.ZerøGrand Chukkas
These soft suede lace-up [Chukka boots](http://www.colehaan.com/men%27s-2.zerogrand-chukka-bourbon-suede-java/C24681.html?dwvar_C24681_color=Bourbon%20Suede-java&dwvar_C24681_width=M#cgid=mens_shoes_boots&start=9) ($300) can make a seamless transition from high-powered *tete-a-tetes* with suits to cozy evenings by the fire in a collared sweater. What’s extraordinary about these sophisticated kicks is that the technology inside rivals that of performance running sneakers. Flexible welting, moisture control, and a contoured full-grip sole are just some of the sneaky features.
Moda Operandi
02
Mark Cross Card Holder
The American leather-goods brand has a considerable [literary legacy](http://markcross.com/historyold/), one chapter of which is in *A Catcher in the Rye*, as the maker of Holden Caulfield’s luggage. This handsome tri-color Franzi leather [card holder](https://www.modaoperandi.com/mark-cross-gg16/tricolor-leather-card-case?gclid=CjwKEAiAg5_CBRDo4o6e4o3NtG0SJAB-IatYuJuc3AZDSf9oMEiFJG1d8iUUxW3nzuL1yOIg265gBhoCYgrw_wcB&size=OS) ($225) is made in Italy, and is perfect for the most erudite and tony of chaps.

Freeman Sporting Club
03
Freemans Sweatshirt Turtleneck
Mark Zuckerberg meets Jacques Cousteau in this [turtleneck sweatshirt](http://freemanssportingclub.com/products/heavy-turtleneck-sweatshirt-grey) ($250). Up the sophistication of *athleisure*, but stay inside the comfort zone with this made-in-Japan, looped terry, double concealed pocket top from Freeman’s Sporting Club—which basically has a lock on hispter chic.
MASTER AND DYNAMIC
04
Master & Dynamic MW50 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
He never complained about the iPhone ditching the headphone jack—those cables were unsightly, and they ruined the lines of his sport coat. [These wireless on-ear headphones](http://www.masterdynamic.com/products/mw50-wireless-on-ear-headphones?variant=32861622599) are the latest from premium brand Master & Dynamic. All the smarts that went into the company's larger [MW60](https://www.wired.com/2015/11/review-master-dynamic-mw60-wireless-headphones/) wireless cans have been shrunk down to this smaller and more portable headphone. The sound? Just as exquisite. $449

Minus 8
05
Minus-8 Diver
Maybe your well-dressed man is also a man of the sea. Diver, surfer, SUPer, kayaker—whatever his aquatic passion, he'll love this dive watch from [Minus-8](https://minus8watch.com/), a new company from California. The movement is automatic (made in Japan by Seiko) and the case and link strap are titanium. It's sealed and waterproof to 300 meters like any dive watch should be. This new edition is available [just through Indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/minus-8-diver-an-automatic-titanium-dive-watch-watches-fashion--5#/), and early-bird orders will ship in time for the holidays. $588 and up
Westward Leaning
06
Westward Leaning Pioneer 01
The first design ever released by eyewear brand Westward Leaning is this take on the classic wayfarer, [the Pioneer](https://westwardleaning.com/collections/classic/products/pioneer-1) from back in 2012. The company has since expanded to other shapes for him and her, but this oldie is still very much a goodie. That little flash of color at the temple is reclaimed redwood. Cali vibes, stay strong. $185

Nigel Cabourn
07
Nigel Cabourn Reversible Check Jacket
If anyone owns effortless cool, it might be English designer Nigel Cabourn. The avant gardist whose references are grounded in country classics is the holy grail amongst menswear connoisseurs. This reversible cotton check [jacket](http://www.cabourn.com/us/men/collections/mainline/reversible-check-jacket-red-brown) ($525) is equal parts woodsman and city savant.
Moda Operandi
08
Halo Home WTF Pocket Square
What is the perfect look without some humor? Boring. Stave off predictability with a linen pocket [square](https://www.modaoperandi.com/halo-home-by-kimberly-schlegel-whitman-r17/pks-wtf?size=OS) ($50), which communicates how you really feel underneath that enviable veneer of flawless composure.

L.L. Bean
09
L.L. Bean Camouflage Tote
Monogram one of these rugged chic and totally indestructible [totes](http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/38534?page=hunters-tote-bag-zip-top?feat=camo%20tote-srrrtop) ($39) with the initials of everyone on your list (orange with camo is everything). The lifetime guarantee from Maine based outfitter L.L. Bean will enforce the everlasting friendship vibe.
Hermes of Paris
10
Hermes Cashmere Scarf
This cashmere fringed [scarf](http://www.hermes.com/) ($1,675) is woven in the grooviest 1970’s tones of mustard, ochre, ivory, and moss. It will wrap the neck of one lucky wearer in the *ne plus ultra* of French luxury. For someone you really, really like.

The Line
11
Carl Aubock Key Ring
Fourth-generation Viennese design studio Carl Aubock is known for an artisanal minimalist aesthetic. Now run by Carl Aubock IV and his sister Maria, the team has turned out this U-shaped brass key ring ($125, also available in nickel, $145). It's sure to patina beautifully with use.
M. Crow Co.
12
M. Crow Speakers by Phila Audio Corp
These [stately sound machines](http://mcrowcompany.com/products/speakers-1?variant=12582243331) are crafted out of Douglas fir and hand-brushed to a glossy black finish. They're about a foot and a half tall, so they'll provide plenty of bump at the cocktail hour in his corner office. If your man is still in cubeland, he can use these to smarten up his den and enjoy them come quitting time. $700

Nice Laundry
13
Nice Laundry
When he was a kid, a gift of socks elicited groans. Now that he's a man (and knows how to dress), he'll love a box of essentials like this one from [Nice Laundry](https://www.nicelaundry.com/). Build up a gift box by choosing from over 100 styles of socks and underwear—bold patterns and bright colors keep everything on-trend. Premium cotton-blend construction with reinforced toes and heels ensure they'll last at least a few turns of the calendar. $49 and up
Wired
14
The WIRED T-Shirt Collection
Casual Friday has never looked so sharp. Sure, we may be biased, but we think a WIRED [T-shirt subscription](https://subscribe.wired.com/subscribe/wired/102751) makes an excellent gift. Some of the designs nod to famous WIRED magazine covers, and others wink at pop culture (like the Pied Piper design). Either way, the stylish man in your life will always be the envy of the office. Shirts are delivered four times a year, so your loved one will get a new design every three months. $100
