There are some dads who are easy to shop for. Give them a hint of what they like and they’ll happily run with it. Then there are the dads who have a particular taste, know exactly what works for them, and probably don’t need another novelty mug in their life.
For Father’s Day, the trick is finding something that feels considered without trying to reinvent his entire wardrobe. From clothes he’ll want to wear to accessories that can finish off an outfit, Kmart has plenty of options to browse when you’re looking for a gift that fits his style. Consider this your cheat sheet for the dad who knows what he likes and make this the year you nail his gift.
Start with what he already wears
If he has a strong sense of personal style, giving him something new to wear can be an easy way to build on what he already loves. The men’s clothing range has him covered whether he lives in the same three tees or likes a proper outfit change for dinner, so you’re shopping his taste, not reinventing it.
Once it cools, hoodies do the hard work
A good hoodie or sweatshirt becomes a feature of Dad’s regular rotation, particularly once the temperature drops. They’re easy to throw on at the weekend, for errands or a relaxed day at home, making it a good place to look if his style leans casual.
A jacket that pulls everything together
For the dad who likes his outfits to look considered without spending ages getting dressed, a jacket or coat can make a surprisingly good gift. Whether he’s after something more laid-back for everyday wear or a piece to complete his outfit when heading out, it’s an easy way to add another dimension to his wardrobe. If he wants to add a bit of edge to his style, a bomber jacket is an easy way to achieve this.

Denim he can wear on repeat
If Dad already knows his preferred fit and style of men’s jeans, you can use that as your starting point. When it comes to denim, knowing what he likes makes choosing a gift much easier, whether he’s loyal to a particular cut or happy to try something different.
A pair of pants for every plan
The right pair of men’s pants can work across plenty of occasions, from a relaxed weekend to the days he needs to look a bit sharper. It’s also a useful option if you’re looking for something beyond the usual Father’s Day gifts.
Knitwear for when he wants to layer up
For dads who appreciate a good, layered look, knitwear makes an easy addition to the wardrobe. Over a tee it’s casual, over a collared shirt it’s smart, and with his favourite jeans it’s ideal for a comfy Sunday. For the dad who likes options without much effort, men’s jumpers and knitwear always lands as an appreciated gift.
Something for warmer days
Father’s Day might arrive in the cooler months, but that doesn’t mean his wardrobe stops at winter. A good pair of men’s shorts can come in handy for weekends, holidays and warmer weather, making this a smart gifting choice if you’re thinking a little further ahead.
An easy addition to his everyday rotation
Sometimes the gift that gets the most wear is the least flashy one. From casual tops to pieces that can be dressed up depending on the occasion, men’s tops give you plenty of room to work with his taste and refresh those basics that rarely get the attention they deserve.
The finishing touches
When his wardrobes already sorted, men’s accessories are a great way to sneak something new in without overhauling his style. A belt, a cap, a watch: the little details that pull a look together and make his outfit feel more put together.
Something for his downtime
Father’s Day gifts don’t have to be reserved for what Dad wears out of the house. Men’s sleepwear can be a thoughtful option for someone who appreciates being comfortable at home, particularly if his idea of a perfect weekend involves a slow morning and nowhere to be.
A new pair of shoes
The right shoes can change the feel of an entire outfit, so they’re worth considering if Dad already has a strong idea of his personal style. There’s plenty to browse in men’s shoes depending on what he already leans towards, whether that’s everyday footwear or something a little smarter.
Whatever Dad’s personal style looks like, the easiest way to get his Father’s Day gift right is to start with what he already loves. Browse Kmart’s full men’s range, including men’s larger sizes and find something that feels like him.
