When you become a father, you might as well be given a uniform. For some reason, having children causes all males of a certain age to begin dressing the same. For example, the Standard Summertime Dad Uniform: white New Balance sneakers, calf-high socks, cargo pants/jorts, a t-shirt obtained on a vacation to a Disney park, a fanny pack, and a visor.
There are variations, of course, but there’s something about the way dads dress that makes them instantly recognizable as fathers. And luckily for us, someone made an Instagram account about it. The folks over at @fashiondads have been chronicling dads at their most fierce. Here are 15 fathers who are ready to hit the runway, even if the runway isn’t quite ready for them.
