Father’s Day 2025: Gift Ideas for Every Kind of Beach-Loving Dad
Published 14 Apr, 2025
For The Active Dad
Whether he’s catching waves, diving into a morning swim, or taking on a paddleboarding session, he needs swimwear that moves with him.
Perfect Match: A quick-dry, ultra-light pair of swim shorts, paired with a lightweight rash guard for all-day sun protection.
For The First-Time Dad
His first Father’s Day deserves something extra special—matching swimwear for those first dips, first sandcastles, and first unforgettable moments together.
Perfect Match: A classic print for dad, with an adorable mini version for his little one.
For The Effortlessly Cool Dad
He’s effortlessly stylish, loves weekend lounging, beach bars, and poolside hangs. This dad needs swimwear that feels as good as it looks.
Perfect Match: A bold swim short that pairs effortlessly with a linen shirt and sunglasses for an easy, beach-to-bar look.
For The Outdoorsy Dad
He’s always in his element by the water... swimming, exploring, or just soaking up the sea air. When the sun sets, he’s throwing on a linen shirt and unwinding with a drink in hand.
Perfect Match: A pair of versatile Tom & Teddy swim shorts, built for all-day comfort, plus a crisp linen shirt he can throw on when the temperature drops.
For Laid-Back Beach Dad
He’s not rushing anywhere—barefoot, book in hand, tunes playing softly, and always within arm’s reach of a cold drink. He’s the first to arrive and the last to leave, making the most of every salty, sun-soaked moment.
Perfect Match: A pair of ultra-comfy, soft-stretch swim shorts in a chilled-out print, paired with a relaxed tee or unbuttoned linen shirt for that effortless, all-day beach vibe.
