Father's Day falls on 21st June this year, and if your dad appreciates quality over quantity, Marks and Spencer is where you should be looking. M&S has built its reputation on premium fabrics, understated design and the kind of craftsmanship that lasts -- exactly what dads tend to value most.
We spent hours browsing marksandspencer.in to shortlist 12 gifts across polo shirts, leather accessories, loungewear and socks -- all priced between Rs. 1,249 and Rs. 4,999. Whether your father lives in crisp formal shirts or relaxed pyjama sets, there is something here that will make him feel genuinely appreciated.
The M&S End of Season Sale is currently live with up to 50% off across menswear, so several of these picks are available at significantly reduced prices. Sizes are selling out quickly on the popular styles, so do not wait too long.
"Supima cotton feels noticeably softer than regular cotton polos and holds its shape wash after wash -- perfect for the dad who values quiet luxury."
This polo uses Supima cotton, which is grown exclusively in the USA and accounts for less than 1% of world cotton production. The fibre is 35% longer than standard cotton, giving it a silkier hand-feel and better colour retention. A subtle embroidered logo at the chest keeps the design clean and versatile enough for both weekend brunches and casual Fridays at the office.
"A wallet that actually protects your dad's cards from contactless skimming -- function meets British design sensibility."
M&S built Cardsafe technology directly into the lining, which blocks unauthorised RFID scanning of contactless cards. The wallet itself is made from responsibly sourced leather with four card slots, a notes section and a coin purse. At 11.6 cm by 9.6 cm, it fits comfortably in trouser pockets without adding bulk. Currently available at half price during the End of Season Sale.
"The geometric jacquard pattern sets this apart from the plain polos sitting in every dad's wardrobe -- it is distinctive without being loud."
Knitted polos sit in that sweet spot between casual T-shirts and formal shirts, and this one nails the balance. The all-over geometric pattern is woven into the fabric rather than printed, which means it will not fade or crack over time. Pure cotton keeps it breathable through Indian summers, and the regular fit is forgiving enough for post-lunch comfort.
"The textured knit adds visual depth without any pattern -- ideal for dads who prefer solid colours but still want their polo to look interesting."
M&S has used a cotton-rich blend here, which gives the polo a soft, breathable base while the textured knit construction adds structure. The result is a shirt that drapes better than a standard pique polo and looks considerably more polished. Pair it with chinos for a smart-casual ensemble that works for dinner reservations or weekend outings.
"Two belts for the price of one -- flip it for black or brown depending on the outfit. At Rs. 1,249, this is hard to beat as a Father's Day gift."
Reversible belts are genuinely practical gifts because they halve the number of belts a person needs. This one from M&S is made from real leather with a clean rectangular buckle that suits both formal and casual trousers. The black-to-brown configuration covers virtually every wardrobe combination your dad owns. Currently marked down to half price during the sale.
"From the M&S luxury range -- the cotton weight and texture feel noticeably different from their regular shirts. Worth the premium for special occasions."
Part of the M&S Luxury collection, this shirt uses a heavier-weight pure cotton with a self-textured weave that catches light beautifully. The regular fit is generous without being boxy, and the collar holds its shape through a full workday. If your father has important meetings or formal events on the calendar, this is the kind of shirt that earns compliments without trying.
"The non-iron finish is genuinely transformative -- your dad can pull this straight from the washing line and wear it to the office. No ironing needed."
M&S has refined their non-iron technology over decades, and the Ultimate range represents the best version. The cotton fibres are treated during manufacturing so the shirt resists creasing even after multiple washes. For dads who travel frequently or simply despise ironing, this is a gift that saves time every single morning. The fit sits comfortably between slim and relaxed.
"M&S pyjamas are legendary for a reason -- the cotton is genuinely soft out of the box, the checked pattern never goes out of style, and the fit is generous enough for actual relaxation."
This set includes a top with a Cuban collar and chest pocket paired with bottoms that feature an elasticated waist, button fly and side pockets. The pure cotton fabric is breathable for Indian nights, and the classic checked pattern gives it a sophisticated look. Your dad can wear this while reading the morning paper and still look presentable when the doorbell rings.
"Modal fabric is silkier than pure cotton and regulates temperature better -- this is the upgrade for dads who take their sleep seriously."
Modal is made from beech tree pulp and is known for being 50% more absorbent than cotton. M&S blends it with cotton here to create a pyjama set that feels luxurious against the skin while staying durable through regular washing. The Cool and Fresh finish wicks moisture away during the night. The set comes with tipped collar detailing that elevates it beyond basic nightwear.
"Linen is the ultimate Indian summer fabric, and this M&S shirt gets the blend right -- enough linen for breathability, enough cotton to avoid excessive wrinkling."
A linen-blend shirt is arguably the most useful Father's Day gift you can give in June, when temperatures across most of India sit above 35 degrees. This short-sleeve version keeps things relaxed and breezy. The blend composition means it wrinkles less than pure linen while still letting air circulate freely. Works equally well tucked into chinos or worn loose over jeans for a holiday vibe.
"Five pairs of socks with vintage car embroidery -- the kind of gift that makes dad smile every morning when he opens the drawer."
Socks might sound predictable, but M&S has elevated the category with their Cool and Fresh technology, which keeps feet dry and odour-free all day. Each pair in this five-pack features a different vintage car embroidery, making them a genuinely thoughtful gift for car-enthusiast dads. The cotton-rich composition ensures breathability, and the added stretch means they stay up without digging in.
"Merino wool socks are a luxury most dads will never buy for themselves -- which is exactly what makes them a perfect gift."
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, keeping feet warm in air-conditioned offices and cool when it is hot outside. This three-pack comes with sophisticated design patterns that pair well with formal shoes. Unlike synthetic socks, merino is naturally antimicrobial, which means less odour even after a long day. The blend includes reinforced heels and toes for durability.

The key to a great Father's Day gift is knowing what your dad actually uses rather than what looks impressive in a gift box. Here is a quick framework based on the gifts in this list.
If he is corporate: The Ultimate Non Iron Shirt (pick 07) or the Pure Cotton Textured Luxury Shirt (pick 06) will be used five days a week. Pair with the Leather Reversible Belt (pick 05) for a complete office refresh under Rs. 6,000.
If he is retired or works from home: The pyjama sets are the clear winners. The Cotton Modal Blend (pick 09) is the more luxurious option, while the Pure Cotton Checked (pick 08) is better value. Add the Vintage Car Socks (pick 11) for a fun touch.
If you are on a budget: The Leather Bi-fold Wallet (pick 02) and the Leather Reversible Belt (pick 05) are both at Rs. 1,249 during the sale. Together they make a gift set that looks far more expensive than it is.
If he cares about style: Polo shirts from M&S sit in a different league compared to fast-fashion brands. The Supima Cotton Polo (pick 01) or the Geometric Knitted Polo (pick 03) will be his go-to for months.
M&S has been dressing British and Indian men for over 140 years. Their menswear sits in a sweet spot that few brands occupy in India: better fabrics and construction than fast-fashion retailers, but without the extravagant pricing of luxury labels. A Rs. 3,000 polo from M&S uses materials and stitching that you would typically find in Rs. 6,000-7,000 shirts from international premium brands.
The brand also takes sustainability seriously. Their Plan A initiative means many products use responsibly sourced materials, and the Leather Bi-fold Wallet is a good example of this commitment. For Indian dads, there is also the trust factor -- M&S has physical stores in most major cities, so returns and exchanges are straightforward if the sizing is off.
