To breed a male Eevee, you need to breed a female Eevee or a female Eeveelution with a male Eevee, or breed a male Eevee with a Ditto, as Ditto can take the place of the missing gender and produce an Eevee egg with a 12.5% chance of being female and an 87.5% chance of being male. The breeding process involves placing the two compatible Pokémon in your party and setting up a picnic, which will eventually cause an egg to appear in the basket near your table that can be picked up.
