It's spring and it's officially time to roll out the chinos, t-shirts and warm-weather clothing! Personally, I've decided to go on a giant shopping spree and buy a lot of clothing for my man, since he has virtually nothing left in his wardrobe to suit the weather. Today, I want to introduce you to my recent favourite shop- Brothers We Stand, and talk about some simple clothing gift ideas that you can get your boyfriend or husband to surprise him this season.
A bit about the brand- Brothers We Stand is a shop that sells ethically-produced and manufactured clothing for men. It's hard to find a shop that stocks such a huge variety of menswear brands, and I'm really excited to tell you more about the brand. Brothers We Stand does a lot of research about which clothing they stock, and they make sure that everything meets 3 conditions:
- Ethically produced- manufactured sustainably in terms of both people and planet.
- Designed to please - products look good and perform the jobs they were created to do.
- Created to last - all their items are built are made to be enjoyed for many years.
With that in mind, it's time to do a bit of shopping! Let me show you 3 types of clothing gift ideas that you can get your man this season!
1) Chinos
Chinos are versatile, cool and stylish - they can literally revamp any outfit in seconds and are perfect for the hot spring and summer months. The first item that I got from Brothers We Stand is this lovely Knowledge Cotton Apparel Chuck The Brain Organic chino pants- these pants originated from Knowledge Cotton Apparel, a Danish menswear brand that specialises in creating the best organic clothing that you can find. They use special technology to create form-fitting, organic pieces, which are high-quality and sustainable. Brothers We Stand stocks a lot of different brands, and I'm really glad that I stumbled upon this awesome, sustainable pair of pants.

In terms of the quality and fit, I have to say that these pants impressed me greatly. For one thing, the fit was spot on. I ordered a size 32 Waist and the pants arrived in perfect condition. It was really fitting and matched my boyfriend's style really well. In fact, I love the quality of these trousers, as the stitching, make and finish of the piece is impeccable, high-quality and brilliant. Personally, I find chinos very difficult to buy as they come in different cuts and shapes. However, these chinos were not too tight nor too loose, and looks great when worn with a t-shirt or a henley.
In terms of the design, I love how these trousers come in a lovely dark grey colour. This colour makes it very versatile and fashionable, and I think these chinos would be perfect for a casual day out in the summer heat. In fact, Brothers We Stand stocks numerous types of designs on their site, and you can find pretty much any style you like!
2) Basic T-shirts
T-shirts should be a wardrobe staple for any man, and the simpler the design, the better it is (in my opinion). This is because colorful patterns and graphic tees look childish, and distracts people from focusing on the face. Brothers We Stand manufactures their own brand, which sells awesome t-shirts made from organic cotton fabrics. I got this gorgeous Brothers We Stand Organic T-shirt in Black- the tee is soft, supple and comfortable, and looks fantastic with jeans and chinos. It's simple design means that it pretty much goes well with anything.
I think every man needs tees for the hot summer months, and I highly recommend getting organic cotton shirts as they absorb sweat, feels awesome and looks amazing! The t-shirts on their website all comes up at extremely affordable prices, so you don't have to worry about spending too much!
3) A Sweatshirt
Finally, every guy needs a simple, basic sweatshirt to get him through spring. The best thing about sweatshirts is that they can be worn over anything- they can be worn over shirts, button-ups, t-shirts and even other long-sleeved tops. This means that it is an extremely worthwhile investment in any man's wardrobe. I particularly love this Brothers We Stand Recycled Sweatshirt (in melange black) because it is made from sustainable, recycled fabrics, which means that every shirt goes towards saving the environment.
In terms of the quality, these sweatshirts are absolutely top-notch. The shirt is fleecy on the inside, which means that it will keep anyone warm during the cool spring or summer nights. The sweatshirt feels soft, smooth and oh-so-comfortable, and your man will thank you for getting him one of these!
In fact, I think that the sweatshirt is one of those pieces that a guy cannot live without. Not only is it a versatile piece of clothing, but it also pretty much suits any body shape! Brothers We Stand also makes these shirts in other colors, and you should totally check them out!
Overall, I hope you found these tips useful. It's always good to buy clothes for your man as it is a practical and versatile gift- and you're pretty much guaranteed that your guy will wear them especially if you gave it to him!
