How To Rock Dad Style While It’s Still Summer

I know I’ve talked about how I wish summer would just go away… like leave us alone and don’t come back. At least not until we change our mind. We are fickle here in Southern California. We enjoy the sun until we think it’s time to hate it. And then boy do we turn on it. Maybe I’m just grumpy because I’ve had the flu for four days. Even thought I really shouldn’t complain. It was the best possible combination of sickness. I had awful body aches, a fever, and a headache, but none of the awful symptoms that can sometimes accompany the flu. I took a day and a half days off work which I have to say was pleasant. I got caught up on rest and only checked my phone to like the occasional Instagram pic or two. It was nice and now I’m feeling better and ready to be back in the game.

Dad style, dad bod, etc. has become quite the topic of conversation as of late, particularly in the world of getting dressed. I have to say that I’m glad the dad bod trend didn’t stick around. But dad-inspired style is something I can definitely get behind. I mean it centers around comfort so of course I’m in. But just because it looks like the pieces could be from the back of your dad’s closet doesn’t mean that it can’t be stylish (Dad, if you’re reading this, you are plenty stylish so that comment doesn’t pertain to you). Taking pieces that could be considered traditionally dad-ish and styling them the right way takes it from fatherly to fashionable.

Try buttoning that pique polo up all the way to look a little trendier. Ensure you tuck the front of your shirt ever so slightly into your shorts to give the illusion of being slightly disheveled. A drawstring short, while comfortable and convenient, can be elevated with a cool print and a tailored fit. Lastly, choosing to accessorize with an awesome pair of sneakers and a classic watch (and maybe a bracelet) will keep you rocking the dad trend without feeling like you’ve got to get home to the children.
