Nina Huang chooses top Father’s Day gifts at Rustan’s

MANILA, Philippines - Having a hard time finding the perfect gift for Father’s Day?  Nina Huang shares the top trends from Rustan’s men’s department and comes up with winning gift ideas for six dads — Stores Specialists Inc. EVP Anton Huang, Ayala Corporation president/COO Fernando Zobel, businessman Miguel Tambunting, sportsman-artist Dante Silverio, cardiologist Randy Francisco and photographer Jun De Leon.

Inno Sotto, Rustan’s creative director, helped in styling the look for each.

Anton Huang

For Anton Huang, a blue long-sleeved shirt from Ascot Chang, and Ermenegildo Zegna suit. Complete the look with a silk pocket square, silk necktie, couture heritage leather belt, and calfskin oxfords, all from Ermenegildo Zegna. “Anton loves his custom-fit Ascot Chang shirts. He enjoys good fabric and good substance.”

Fernando Zobel

Fernando Zobel would opt for the classic look. He will love this button down casual shirt under a wool and cashmere sweater, with stretch cashmere and silk jacket, and cotton trousers. Accessorize with a Hamptons belt, and dark brown slip-on leather shoes, all from Ermenegildo Zegna.

Miguel Tambunting

Miguel Tambunting would look stylish in a V-neck sweater from Faconnable paired with a navy Aston Martin soft shell jacket and coral Kensington till trousers, both from Hackett. Finish off the look with a tubular plait tan belt, also from Hackett, and a pair of loafers from Faconnable. “For his road trips, motorbike trips and weekends spent with family in the north or south, these are for Miguel - anything easy, relaxed and comfortable. Joy and laughter? He will take care of all that!” Nina laughs. 

Dante Silverio

For Dante Silverio and all sporty dads like him, a red basic polo shirt under a red four-pocket jacket from Pedro del Hierro would be perfectly stylish and comfortable at the same time. Pair these with blue chino pants from Faconnable, and finish with braided leather belt from Pedro del Hierro, and a pair of light gray soft suede slip-on casual loafers from To Boot New York. “Pops and bursts of colors for Tito Dante! Whether in the golf course or painting studio, Tito Dante will look incredible in his red polo pique and his Pedro del Hierro jacket,” Nina suggests.

Randy Francisco

A dapper look for working dads like Randy Francisco. Use a royal oxford formal shirt under a basket weave blaze, and plain wool formal trousers in charcoal, all from Hackett. Together with a black formal leather belt from Faconnable, native herringbone-dusty rose pocket square from Tie Bar, and a lace-up black formal leather shoes from Kurt Geiger, this is a debonair outfit perfect for Randy. Nina emphasizes: “The finer details make a difference.”

Jun De Leon

For creative dad Jun De Leon who has a passion for the arts, Nina would love to see him in a white button-down long sleeve shirt and a tailored fit jacket, paired with white cotton pants, all from Faconnable. Styled to perfection with patterned scarf from Pedro del Hierro, aviators from Rayban, and white printed sneakers from Superga. “For my favorite lensman, I’d like to get him all of the above! You’re not a master lensman for nothing. the scarf, printed socks, aviators, and shoes, they’re all for Jun - for himself or for his subjects.”
