Men may not always show interest in being on the receiving end of romantic gestures but know that they like it, so buying a thoughtful gift would help make you an unforgettable partner. Fashion boys can be hard to shop for because they are, as Twitter has said, insufferable at times, but if you find yourself to be in a relationship with a man that can pronounce Loewe correctly, then firstly — good luck — and secondly, we got you on finding him a great gift for Valentine’s Day. From a variety of brands and “cores” that your particular fashion boy might fall into, we have a suggestion for each.
