Suits and other dressy clothes are typically an infrequent purchase, yet everyone likes to feel good in an especially polished outfit. That 'once in a blue moon' factor actually makes dressy picks a great option to give as gifts since they're unlikely to invest in nicer pieces too often for themselves. A new look can also boost their confidence and upgrade their wardrobe for the future.
Styles from the menswear brand Bonobos always look sharp, plus they come at reasonable prices. A focus on fit makes almost all of their offerings feel like they're custom-made. The Find Your Fit guide provides tailored recommendations for pants based on preferences in fit at the thigh, taper at the ankles, length, and more.
The brand is well known for their chinos, which our reporters found super comfortable in our Bonobos chinos review. Whether your giftee could use a new suit for a special occasion or just something to refresh their everyday wardrobe, we've rounded up the best items from Bonobos to give as gifts.
A versatile pair of chinos
Stretch Washed Chino 2.0

They are wrinkle resistant, moisture wicking, and have an added zip pocket for important items, all for under $100.
