Do something special for your Old Man this year, starting with the three essentials for any green dad: low-key style, high-end alcohol, and tasty barbecue
Upgrade his style
Fathers do not need to be on top of whatever trend is going on. Oftentimes, a well-fitting cotton polo, pants that mix comfort with style (and we mean no pleats!), and a handsome pair of suede shoes, are all he needs to look great everyday.

Upgrade his home bar
Here’s a tip: Whatever you drank in college—when finances were tight—should not take up space in your dad’s bar. Build a sophisticated collection of beer, spirits, and wine, that he would gladly serve whenever he has company over.
