The 20 Best Style Gifts Under $100

Gift-giving is an art. And like any work of art, greatness comes with constraint. In this case, it’s a budget of $100. From gateway socks for the budding style enthusiast to “if you know, you know” cash carriers, here are 20-plus gift options you won’t have to think twice about.

One Eleven SWII Solar Watch

Price: $75
From: 111watches.com

The SWII Solar watch from One Eleven will keep batteries out of the landfills. How? This timepiece runs on solar power and keeps ticking in an eco-friendly way.

1. Outerknown Camp Socks

Price: $8
From: outerknown.com

Nice basics are just the first step in a guy’s style journey. These Outerknown Camp Socks feel great and are more approachable than the Japanese fare that styleheads drool over. Gift these if you want to start him on a style snowball.

2. Craighill Closed Helix Ring

Price: $30
From: store.gearpatrol.com

Good design is functional design and Craighill’s Closed Helix Ring is a prime example. The solid brass accessory is as sculptural as it is utilitarian and keeps your attention while keeping your keys secure. The best part? You don’t have to jam your fingernails every time you need to switch your keys out.

3. Filson Lone Pine Bandana

Price: $35
From: filson.com

Bandanas make great neckerchiefs, understudies for pocket squares and zero-waste napkins.

4. Peet Boot Dryer

Price: $40
From: amazon.com

Rain, sleet and snow might not stop your mail from getting to you, but it can wreak havoc on your boots. This useful number dries out your boots without damaging them, so they won’t succumb to a soggy death. If you’re gifting the Red Wing Heritage Basic Care Kit, you can throw in this boot dryer too and still have a Jackson left to spend.

8. Vans Vault OG Authentic LX

9. Everlane Straight Fit Jean

Price: $68
From: everlane.com

The whole Japanese denim craze doesn’t have to bury you in debt. Everlane’s Straight Fit Jean is more comfortable, too, thanks to a little bit of stretch.

10. Abraham Moon for J. Crew Wool Scarf

Price: $70
From: jcrew.com

Scarves are an easy way to drum up style points at worst and an absolute godsend when “chilly” falls tragically short as an accurate weather description. Abraham Moon’s been weaving wool since the late 1800s, so it knows a thing or two about keeping warm and its exclusive scarves for J.Crew get the job done. Classic but certainly not boring, they’re made with a soft (non-itchy) lambswool and come in several patterns no giftee would be mad at.

11. Wahl Beard Trimmer

Price: $71
From: amazon.com

Like boots, beards need maintenance too. Leaves may fall, but the hedges still need trimming in winter.

12. Supply The Single Edge 2.0 Razor

Price: $75
From: supply.co

An actual razor that you don’t toss in the trash pays dividends (especially if he’s getting this straight razor as a gift from you).

13. Ugg Scuff Slipper

Price: $80
From: amazon.com

Just because you’re home alone doesn’t mean you can just brick your ‘fit. Toss these on with some nice socks (like the Outerknown ones from earlier) and you’ve got cozy style nailed.

14. Billykirk No. 258 Toiletry Bag

Price: $85
From: store.gearpatrol.com

Why is he holding on to that questionable dopp kit he got for free at his company party four years ago? He’s waiting for you to gift him this one.

15. Givenchy Gentleman Cologne

Style isn’t just a visual medium, but an olfactory one, too. This cologne from Givenchy showcases citrusy top notes, iris middle notes and vetiver bottom notes for a balanced fragrance any guy can add to his daily routine.

16. Levi’s Trucker Jacket

Price: $90
From: amazon.com

Do we even have to explain this one?

17. Alex Mill Cashmere Beanie

Price: $95
From: alexmill.com

That being said, a great wool beanie is much-appreciated. Alex Mill’s version is made with a supremely soft cashmere which means your giftee won’t carelessly leave it in the back of an Uber (hopefully).

18. Warby Parker Edgemont Sunglasses

19. Everlane ReCashmere Sweater
