Call Her Dad(dy?)

Fathers day came and went not too long ago. The big news in our area was the hullabaloo over the flavor of the day at Kopps (the home of the best custard in the world). In honor of said holiday, it was called Nuts for Daddy. Some people believed this to be an inappropriate name choice. Most who ended up trying the flavor did enjoy it. Questionable naming choice or not, the custard is still good. 

It’s kind of how I feel about these unofficially named Dad Khaki joggers. It’s so weird and unexpected, that it’s good. Like how Dad sneakers are in right now. We all know how ugly they are and yet everyone is embracing them anyway. Me more so for like mowing the lawn and wearing my Dad’s actual old green stained sneakers, but that’s beside the point. Obviously not every trend is going to work for everybody, and rightfully so you don’t need to try every single trend. 

But when these joggers came my way in the Asos showroom, I was unexpectedly drawn to them. They were so wrong, they were right. Comfort is always high on the priority list. Clearly, they fit the bill. They are spacious and easy to wear. The drawstring waist can be pulled to tighten. They are straight leg style, so they skim over my thighs with plenty of room to spare. 

The waist is a true high waist, so no risk of having to keep pulling the pants up over your belly button, they will lay perfectly. This is my idea of the perfect pants to wear with a crop top, and that’s just what I did. I borrowed Caitlin’s favorite crop tank from Express and felt like my best bad ass Dad self. 

I had to commit fully to the look so I added some white sneakers that I snagged from Long Tall Sally. Don’t make me yell at you to get off my lawn. I spend too long caring for it for you crazy kids to trample it. Just kidding, I would never wear these fresh off-white sneakers on freshly cut grass, are you nuts?! Especially after I ruined my pair of Keds, this pair will be maintained at all costs. They are super comfortable, can’t wait to do some serious walking in them to see how they hold up. 

Basically, I’m feeling myself in this Dad chic look. I couldn’t be more comfortable and fresh to death than I am in this outfit. My Mom would beg to differ and literally begs me not to wear these anymore. So, of course, I have to tease her mercilessly and ask her to wear them all the time. Bottom line, there is something very alluring about these ugly chic pants, and it’s no dissing on Dad!

Hopefully, you’ll catch me wearing these down at Summerfest this weekend. Maybe I’ll wear them tonight to avoid having any groping of the butt happening. Sad but true, you won’t touch it if you can’t see it! Are there any trends you’ve thought were ugly or wouldn’t work on you? Did you ever try them on and surprise yourself with liking them?
