There’s an Instagram account dedicated to wonderfully shit Dad fashion and we love it

Dadfash at its finest

Matt Tate

Here at JOE, we’re big fans of Dads.

When we’re not standing to applaud their explosive rants at overpriced cinema chains, we’re paying tribute to their Dad jokes (you know the ones) or laughing with them when the tables are turned and the kids get their own back.

But when it comes to Yer Da, there’s nothing we love more than admiring(?) his fashion bold fashion choices. Socks and sandals, tucking in tees and gloriously un-ironic slogan shirts; there isn’t a wardrobe no-no a Dad won’t whole-heartedly embrace.

Thank god, then, for the Fashion Dads Instagram account, which, in their own words, is the best way to keep up to date with “Fathers on fleek”.

1. Going straight in at the deep end with this one, to be honest. Just wow.

Sunday nights are for grilling….and most importantly, grilling in style! ????? Tonight, I'm highlighting a VERY special item in my wardrobe and I hope you guys will love it. Yes, this is a fur kilt and they are ALL the rage on the runways right now (even faux). ?? They are so trendy, give me great mobility, and are surprisingly breathable in this hot weather! And the wide black waistband is both sassy and slimming. ? I paired this #StatementPiece with a bright yellow #Columbia fishing shirt and classic #Asics trainers for a chic but approachable look, perfect for the weekend. And now, time for some feasting in fashion! ?? #SundayStyle #WeekendFlow #FoodAndFashion #GrillsAndFrills #FurOnFleek #KiltCouture #FabFootwear #BrightColors #Trendsetter #StreetStyle #FashionDads via @kellydoles

2. Athleisure at its finest…

Happy #FathersDay to ME! ? You know I love dressing up for the occasion! Today, I'm going for a chic #athleisure look with this custom-made #DesignerDoodle t-shirt paired with a high-waisted #Umbro short. I really love this trend for showing off your waistline. ?? For footwear, I'm doing vintage black #Reebok trainers with a classic white crew sock, and I completed this ensemble with a functional yet fashionable #AmericanApparel sweatband. I feel SO stylish but also comfortable for spending the day with my family. ? Happy Father's Day to all you fashionable dads out there! ? #SpecialOutfitForASpecialDay #HolidayLook #FatherOnFleek #CustomCouture #FabulousFootwear #SoxyAndIKnowIt #AthleisureGoals #LoveYourLegs ? #FashionDads

3. He wears that t-shirt on at least three Saturdays a month.

If you read my #FashionBlog, you know that #TshirtTuesday is my favorite day of the week. ??I can show off my fab style and get a little silly, too! ? Today I'm doing this edgy #StarWars-inspired tee I picked up at the #Smithsonian exhibit last month and pairing it with a sleek, flat-front short from the #DockersOutlet and a classic black #Gucci belt. Mixing discount with designer is a true art form and we all know I have mastered it! To complete this trendy Tuesday ensemble….yes you guessed it….my trendy #Tevas! They are chic, comfortable, and perfect for the warm weather. ? I hope you love this look as much as I do! My kids are pretending to be embarrassed but I know they're just jealous. ?? #OOTD #StarWarsStyle #FatherOnFleek #FashionBlogger #TshirtGoals #FunAndFab #ShortsSeason #HappyFeet #TevaTuesday #ButFirstCoffee ❤️☕️ #MorningFlow #CuteInTheKitchen #FashionDads via @alliestrack

4. Faux fur. Take it in.

5. Ready for adventure!

Omg I'm SO happy the weekend is here and I can get out of the office and enjoy NATURE! ??☀️? Today I'm doing one of my favorite looks: Cargo on cargo! Because if there's one rule I have about fashion, it's that you can never have too many pockets! ??I paired a classic khaki cargo short from the #EddieBauer outlet (you know I love a bargain buy!) with a vintage #AmericanEagle cargo vest in a stunning brownish grey shade. I added a chic navy #Polo shirt, simple khaki ball cap, and my #Prada water bottle belt, because it's so important to always stay hydrated. ? Happy Saturday, everyone! #OOTD #WeekendFlow #CargoCouture #PocketPimpin #NeutralHues #DesignerAccessories #LegHairDontCare #NatureLover #VestLife #FashionDads via @goldsteincubed

6. Burgers are ready.

7. Really doesn’t need a caption…

8. On holiday, it’s all about turning heads.

Two important things to remember on vacation: Capture everything and DRESS TO IMPRESS! ??? I'm sight-seeing in #SanJuan and have pulled out all the stops with this ensemble! ?I started with a classic #OldNavy cargo short paired with a vintage #TommyBahama blouse (they don't make them like this anymore!). But the real magic is in my footwear and accessories. ? I'm wearing my signature white #NewBalances with a matching crew sock, a sassy sun hat with fisherman flair, and a #WilsonsLeather belt with custom cell phone clip. ? And my sporty black walking stick is not only functional but fashionable, too! Happy travels this summer, everyone! #JetSetStyle #TouristTrends #FashionAndFunction #ComfortableChic #NewNewBalance #CargoCouture #SanJuanSwag #NeutralHues #HeadToToeHotness #FootwearOnFleek #SummerInSanJuan #FashionDads

9. Got to stay streamlined on the bike.

Today's look is all about staying fit and dressing for your body! I went out cycling in this perfectly color-coordinated ensemble — black Lycra shorts from the #SpanxForSears collection to show off my long, shapely legs paired with my fave "well rounded" pizza tee (you have to keep a sense of humor on the streets ????). I added some #AmericanFlair with a couture flag #FannyPack?? and matching ball cap. YAY USA! When I take off my cycling shoes, I love to slip into my vintage #Brooks sneakers with a casual #Adidas sport sock to grab a quick bite to eat. Happy weekend, everyone! #OOTD #CyclingStyle #LycraLife #SexyAndSpandexy #EmbraceYourShape #LegzForDayz? #RedWhiteAndBOOM? #FannyPackOnFleek #BikeLife #Athletics #SportyAndSassy #PizzaChic? #FashionDads

10. Tying high up is the way forward. The Dads have spoken.

Happy Sunday to all my beautiful followers!!! ? I absolutely love enjoying nature with a latte (or two lol!) in a comfortable but on-trend ensemble. ? Today I'm donning neutrals with a navy #Hanes tee, grey #AmericanEagle cargo short, and blue #Patagonia windbreaker tied around my waist (pro tip: tie up high to accentuate your figure). I'm all about accessorizing as you can tell by my #BraidedBelt, cream-colored knee brace, vintage #Prada shades, and a ball cap. #NewBalances with neon accents are high fashion but also provide ample foot support. ?? #OOTD #SundayStyle #NatureVibes #StarbucksDoubleFist #LoveMyLattes ❤️☕️ #StacheOnFleek #KneeBraceFlow #CargoLife #PocketPimpin #FashionBlogger #NaturalModel #ForestChic #FashionDads

11. No sun, no worries.

12. Perfect for work and the dinner party.

13. Just browsing.

While we’ve got you on the subject of Dads, we really should remind you about a little competition we’re running. All we want is a video of you pranking your old man in the most devious (but legally and morally sound) way possible, and you could win him a VIP experience at the Red Bull Air Race at Ascot on August 13th-14th.

More details can be found here. Do it for your Dad.
