The Cool Dad Polo: His Summer Staple Fashion Finds
You’ve seen him before. He’s cleaning the basement before an outdoor party. He’s buying generic store brand food to save 30 cents, but going premium with the toilet paper. And he is wearing socks with sandals, stiff jean shorts that are a little too baggy, and a tucked in polo shirt.
He’s the Dad. The All-American, salt of the Earth, Dad. And he’s coming towards your home, fast. Now, I probably can’t stop him from eating leftovers for breakfast or mixing up his kids names, but I can help teach him how to fake the style part of a Cool Dad with a Cool Dad Polo.
So what makes a Dad Polo a Cool Dad Polo? Well knowing what trends to look for, of course! Here are hot style features to stock up on this season:
Retro Vibes
Contrast Collars & Trims
Full length plackets (placket=where the buttons are)
“Johnny Collar” (open button-free collar)
Terry cloth fabric for summer!
