NOTEBOOK – One Good Read: Dad fashion becomes a thing

A few years ago, it was “dad bod.” Now it’s clear dadwear is becoming fashionable. According to the New York Times’ Style section, baggy blazers and faded khakis are THE thing. An excerpt: “Bobby Whigham, a 33-year-old creative director for the retailer PacSun, isn’t a father. But he admits to dressing like one. ‘I’ll see myself and think, I look like I’m going out to mow the lawn,’ said Mr. Whigham, who is partial to carpenter pants, tucked-in T-shirts, oversize sweatshirts and clunky sneakers like the Nike Monarch and the New Balance 998.” Upscale merchandisers are getting in on the trend. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures out there in the business community. (It’s on Sunday, so you still have time to go get a card.)
