7 Indian Men's Apparel Brands That Deserve a Spot In Your Papa's Wardrobe This Father's Day

Every Papa has his signature style — some are the kurta-and-khadi connoisseurs, others are more into classic shirts and tucked-in tees. This Father’s Day, let’s gift him something he’ll actually wear (and not stash away for “special occasions” that never come). Skip the ties and boring socks. We’re talking real clothes from homegrown Indian brands that know how to blend tradition, comfort, and a pinch of swag. Here’s a handpicked list of clothing brands and what to buy from them, because your dad deserves the best!

1. Cotton Cottage

Cotton Cottage is a dream for dads who love everything handmade, earthy, and breathable. Their strength lies in Indian handwoven textiles like khadi and soft cotton blends. The cuts are simple, but the craftsmanship shines through. Every Desi Dad loves a pure khadi kurta in calming colours like ivory, indigo, or sage green. Pair it with cotton drawstring pyjamas or straight pants. If you want to go a step further, get him a handblock-printed Nehru jacket to layer up for festive events. This is a perfect outfit if your dad loves desi looks but with extra comfort. May it be a pooja or a relaxing day at home, being fashionable never goes out of style.

2. Spykar

Spykar knows how to do denim right. From classic straight fits to relaxed tapered styles, they’ve got the kind of jeans your Papa will wear on repeat. A pair of mid-rise stretch denim jeans in a dark wash and a slim-fit checked shirt with roll-up sleeves. Who says only Gen Z can wear chic fits? Don’t underestimate the power of your papa! Spykar is the perfect men’s clothing brand to make your dad feel effortlessly comfy and chic. 

3. Siesta ‘O’ Clock

Clothes from Siesta 'O' Clock are like gifting your dad a personal holiday, in clothing form. Their loungewear collection includes comfy co-ord sets, soft shirts, and even sleepwear that doesn’t look like it’s generations old.  A coordinated lounge set in pastel shades with a short-sleeve shirt and elasticated trousers, breathable cotton outfits. The Bohemian vibe of these clothes will make your dad feel younger! It’s also a gentle way of saying, “Please throw away that torn Banyan, Papa.”

4. Louis Philippe

Louis Philippe is for the sophisticated dad who still irons his shirt on Sunday nights and believes in “presenting well.” The brand offers refined formalwear with high-quality fabrics and impeccable tailoring. A premium Oxford shirt in light blue or peach with subtle texture, paired with pleated formal trousers. Their knit polos with contrast collars are also great for a weekend semi-formal look.

5. Cotton King 

Cotton King is a comfort-first brand that specialises in clean, breathable everyday wear for Indian weather. A half-sleeved cotton shirt in a classic check or stripe pattern, along with relaxed-fit chinos. You can also explore their formal shirt-and-trouser combos, which are ideal for office-going dads. It will keep him cool, in every sense of the word. And if your dad is all about “iska kapda achha hai,” he’s going to love it.

6. Snitch

Snitch is bold, modern, and youthful, but surprisingly wearable for all age groups. Perfect men’s clothing from an Indian brand, for the dad who’s not afraid to experiment and low-key keeps up with fashion trends. A printed Cuban-collar shirt paired with relaxed trousers. Or go for their iconic co-ord sets, the black-on-black one is a statement piece that dads pull off better than they think. It’s a great pick for dinners, family functions, or that boys' trip he secretly wishes to go on!

7. 11.11

If your dad appreciates stories behind things, how they’re made, who made them, what materials were used, 11.11 is perfect. It combines Indian artisanal skills with a modern minimalist aesthetic. A naturally-dyed indigo shirt with hand-stitched details or a loose overshirt made from organic khadi. Their drawstring trousers and oversized silhouettes are great for summer layering. 11.11 is thoughtful fashion, looks stylish, feels unique, and is guilt-free.
