Father, I Give You Fashion!

Don't buy your dad the traditional boring tie or socks for this Father's Day. Instead, update his wardrobe with a few of this summer's fashionable looks. Stephen Perrine, editor in chief of Best Life magazine, visits The Early Show to prove that you don't need to spend a lot to make him look like a million dollars.

Look No. 1: BEACH DAD

Every Dad needs a polo shirt to wear from the golf course to the beach. And nothing works better than utilitarian cargo shorts to hold car keys, cell phone, sunblock, etc.

Look No. 2: WEEKEND DAD
A very lightweight sport jacket should be your staple for summer. Dress it up, dress it down, and it can take you almost anywhere. On the show, they kept it business casual, so Dad can go get drinks and then for a nice meal. It looks effortless with the jeans and the driving loafers.
