If he still treasures the wallet you got him this past year, and "World's Best Father" coffee mugs are crowding the kitchen shelves, consider what Dad would really like to unwrap on June 15.

If his shirts are searching a little faded, or his jeans tend to be more than a little frayed, consider a wardrobe update for Father's Day.

Not sure if you should decide on a Hawaiian shirt or classic Polo? Think back on all of the great dads from tv shows past and offer, and consider who your pop identifies with. Does he shun T-shirts, opting instead for an informal but classic look, like "The Cosby Show's" Cliff Huxtable, or "Modern Family's" Cameron? Or does he like to relax in jeans along with a pullover shirt, Homer Simpson style?

Those TV viewing habits could be a clue, says Jacqui Stafford, author of "The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets for each Body and each Budget."

The brand new York-based stylist (jacquistafford.com), has a few hints that will help you as you set out on the Father's Day shopping excursion. Begin by browsing his closet and noting some of his favorite colors. Then boost those shades - but simply a bit.

"I like to incorporate color, but avoid anything too vibrant," says the celebrity stylist. "Look for any cobalt rather than muted blue, or perhaps a mustard instead of a brown, for instance. But avoid colors like pink and ruby, which are scary to many men."

Another tip would be to always go with natural fabrics in the summertime. Cotton fabrics breathe well, plus they last longer.

Also take note of the sizes of those T-shirts and buttoned-down casual shirts in his closet and drawers. If he's beginning to look a little like Homer Simpson, and that shirt is a little too snug around the belly, go a size-up.

Only one size, says Stafford.

"The mistake I see many American men make is they wear clothing that's too baggy," says Stafford, who moved to the United States from England 15 years ago. "And if Dad is heavier, a darker color is much more flattering than the usual lighter shade. Finally, stay away from bold prints if he's heavier."

If Dad goes to work every single day in a suit and tie, you might not wish to purchase a new suit, but if you know where he shops, a gift certificate would be welcome. Give a tie or perhaps a pocket square towards the gift card and wrap everything up for a personal touch.

If you wish to splurge, a couple of Stafford's favorites are Paul Smith and Thomas Pink, that offer unusual patterns and classic styles.

Your final clue to the woman who's doing the looking for the father of her children?

"Keep the dad in your mind when you go to shop," Stafford says. "Too a lot of women enter in the shopping knowledge about their own tastes in mind. Be mindful of what your dad or your husband truly likes to wear."

And if which means he's fond of jeans and flannel shirts, like Dan on "Roseanne," so whether it is. However that doesn't mean you cannot make a few small tweaks to improve on that look a bit.

We offer a few styles that reflect the taste of some of our favorite TV dads:

- Alfani shirt ($45, Macys.com). We like the sporadic but classic appearance of Cameron on "Modern Family," played by Eric Allen Stonestreet. He may be considered a nervous dad, however the big guy always looks sharp. For those who have a dad who likes a bit of color, think about a shirt such as this winner.

- Van Heusen \-zip fleece sweater ($60, kohls.com). Cliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, shed the suit and tie as he came home from work, and seemed to possess a penchant for casual sweaters. We believe Cliff would approve of this classic, and it's ideal for a cool summer evening in the mountains.

- Chaps classic-fit plaid brown suit separates ($120 to $220, kohls.com). This classic wool suit is really as stylish today because it was a long time ago when Robert Young starred as Jim Anderson in "Father Knows Best" within the '50s.

- Straight-leg denims ($29.50 or more, oldnavy.com). What dad, TV character or not, doesn't spend his weekend in jeans? Stafford points out that they like suits, jeans are another item you won't want to gamble on. But if you know his favorite jeans are Levis, or that they originate from a place like Old Navy, a present certificate having a sweet note (like, "Time to retire the ripped-up jeans, Dad") would be a fine gift.

- Apt. 9 woven casual button-down shirt - Big & Tall ($54, kohls.com). Most importantly most items at Kohl's were deeply discounted, something which Dan the Man from "Roseanne" might have appreciated. The smoothness, played by John Goodman, was partial to plaid, therefore we found a casual cool shirt that will have satisfied the smoothness.

- Izod polo ($40, Macys.com). We have good news for Homer, arguably America's most irreverent dad. The shirt actually isn't too shabby, as long as you keep the mustard and ketchup stains off it. It is simply not big enough. So some advice: If Dad includes a belly (mmm ... donuts), be sure you're buying the more generous size. And, with all due respect to Homer, consider something apart from white. If he's anything like the TV character, darker is much more slimming, and white won't remain pristine for very long.
