LOOK: 15 Funny unfashionable dads acting like fashion bloggers

11 min read

Just recently, we took time to scour instagram for the best in Dad Fashion, but it turns out one instagram user had everything we were looking for.

This time, we celebrate the uniqueness of dads who don’t really care about fashion or what you think about their choices.

They’re just busy being awesome dads and having fun copying fashion bloggers who proudly share #OOTDs with their thousands of followers.

The hilarious instagram account asks dads from all over to submit a pic using the hashtag #fashiondads.

Truly, as the funny archive of dads sporting fanny packs, high-belted shorts and tube socks grows, it has evolved from a random repository of photos into a celebration of timeless dad fashion that is both relatable and entertaining to follow.

This dad knows his fans are dying to know what he wears to bed!

This post is a little different than my #OOTDs but you guys have been asking about my sleepwear lately and I never let my fans down!! ❤️ First of all, I need to be #cozy and #comfortable. ???? Secondly, I LOVE to coordinate prints. ???????? I found these #plaid #flannel sheets and matching pajamas at an #EddieBauer outlet in Reno during last year's #FashionBloggersInternational conference and literally died! ????Not only do they make for ahhh-mazing photo opps for my blog, but I feel so chic when I sleep! Goodnight everyone! #OOTN #SnoozeStyle #SleepingBeauty #PlaiddyIssues #FlannelMoreLikeMannel???? #FashionBlogger #DaddyInRed #FashionDads

This dad just can't contain his love for all things green!

YAAASSS #StPatricksDay is one of my favorite fashion holidays because it's all about COLOR! ???????????? This is the perfect occasion to mix and match various green shades and really get bold and creative with it! Today I'm doing yard work in a classic pair of army green #CargoShorts from #FadedGloryCouture paired with a lime green #Nautica collared shirt with custom ventilation hole (it gets hot out here, y'all!). And I have to say, the #Ferragamo suspenders really pull everything together. ???????? As for footwear, these are vintage #DunlopVolleys from Down Under; and I always wear a chic ball cap for sun protection and my AM radio headset to keep up with the latest news and celeb gossip! Enjoy this special day, everyone! ???? #OOTD #GetMyLook #StPaddysSwag #HolidayStyle #AllGreenEverything #CargoCouture #FootwearOnFleek #OutdoorLooks #Yardwerkin #SkinnyArmStrong #FashionDads via @jodielah

This dad is a firm believer in the fact that you can't have enough pockets!

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

Any summer outfit would be nothing without the noble daddy fanny pack

In Florida, it's always #ShortsSeason! ???????? I'm showing some leg tonight in one of my most stylish vintage pairs from the #Oakley summer 2002 collection. I love to mix prints so I added a show-stopping #HawaiianShirt from #AlohaOutlet???????? and matching #Asics trainers with a classic white athletic sock (pro tip: keep your shoelaces loose for extra swag). ???????? To complete this patio-perfect look....you guessed it....A FANNY PACK in classic black! ???? I just love #SummerStyle all year round! #AllDeckedOut???? #ShortStory #PlaiddyDaddy #AlohaTuesday #FloridaFashion☀️ #RetirementGoals #FannyPackOnFleek #SkinnyArmPose #AsicsOverBasics???????? #PatioPimpin #FashionDads

Like we said, it's all about the daddy fanny pack

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

Tube socks are absolutely essential pieces!

Happy #TravelTrendTuesday! ???????? Today I'm in #SanFran???? enjoying a beautiful day in a beautiful outfit! For a casual walk down to the pier, I started with a #StatementSneaker -- classic white #NewBalances???????? with a slightly scrunched #TubeSock. Then I paired these #ChicShoes with coral #Dockers shorts and a plaid button-down from the new #VersaceForSears collection ????????????. I completed this look with a khaki cap and matching belt and I am SAN FRAN FABULOUS!! ???????????????? #OOTD #WestCoastCouture #WhatIWore ##PlaiddyDaddy #FullHouseFlow #EverywhereYouLook???? #SanFranFashion #DockersOnTheDock???? #PierPressure #TheseShoesAreMadeForDockin #StreetStyle #SanFranciscoBae #FashionDads via @crooked_stance_

This neon-clad dad is ready for anything!

My post today is concentrating on fashion ???? and safety ????????! When walking around #NYC you have to be overly prepared for the concrete jungle ????????. So my outfit is all about standing out in the crowd. This way you won't get hit by those crazy taxi drivers????!!! I started with neon orange #Champion shorts and paired them with a classic #Hanes stripped v-neck. I like to wear neon yellow compression socks for great circulation and my #Sketcher shape-ups. If @KimKardashian wears them they have to be in style! I love a neon yellow #bikehelmet to finish off this urban chic look and the #FannyPack is a given. ????Happy site-seeing ????!! #StreetStyle #FashionAndSafety #ConcreteJungle #FashionBlogger #DressYoSelfAndProtectYoSelf #80Vibes #FannyPackFlow #AllNeonEverythang #FashionDads via @jaygiampietro

But this dapper dad is giving him a run for his money

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Easter fashion is my FAVE! ???????????????????????? I just came from church where I was turning heads in one of my most stylish ensembles: A hot pink suit custom made by #TomFord himself with the perfect yellow accents--#Ferragamo loafers, #ExpressMen blouse, pocket square (obvi), and my finest mall kiosk hat. ???? The fact that my phone case matches--well that goes without saying. ???? #EasterSwag #HolidayHauteCouture #PimpinAintEasy #PinkAndYellowPinkAndYellow #HumanPeep ???????? #ColorCoordinationOnFleek #AccessorizingIsEverything #NameTagSwag #PocketSquareOnPoint ???? #HeIsRisen #BestDressedAtChurch ⛪️ #BlessedToBeWellDressed #SuitedUp #HatGameStrong #PraiseBe #GirlsHitYourHallelujah #CuzUptownFunkGonnaGiveItToYa ???? #FashionDads

True dads know baby tees go well with khakis

It's #FridayNight and I'm feeling right! ???? I'm easing back into the party lifestyle after a 3-week juice cleanse and I want my outfit to reflect this. I paired an edgy #BabyTee with high-waisted #FadedGlory khaki shorts, a white crew sock, and my #Caterpillar boots. Thanks to the juice cleanse I can wear form-fitting clothing again and am feeling so #thankful! ???? Now time to let loose! ???????????????????????? #TGIF #FridayVibes #PartyShirt #HealthyAndHappy #DressForYourBody #FlabToFab ???? #FarmFlow #SoloCup #ModelVibes #YouBetterWerk #GetMyLook #FashionDads via @jenniferwarthan

Exploring the great outdoors with style

Today on the set of #JurassicWorld I decided to take a few moments for some #MeTime! This outfit's theme is #SafariChic from head to toe. I started with a nice #Patagonia bucket hat--essential for keeping those sun rays of my #moneymaker ????. I went with a durable light khaki button-up with built-in SPF 30 and a darker khaki #Kavu pant, which can work in any climate for extreme comfort. Complete this ensemble #DoubleStrapBackpack for maximum security if a #Velociraptor attacks ????. #AllKhakiEverything #TreeHugger #TreeLeaner #LeanWithItRockWithIt #ShoulderLean #LeanOnMe #DinoStyle #OutbackOutfits #KhakiOnFleek #CasualComfort #Jansport #Monogrammed #FashionDads via @dearalicek

This dad is a fan of managing expectations

"Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style." #CasualFriday at the office calls for a #chic yet #comfortable outfit. ???? Today I matched a pair of high-waisted jeans with a custom made T-Shirt. You can wear it with a long sleeve solid button-up to stay warm in this chilly weather❄️⛄️. I love this shirt because it always puts a smile on my fellow fashion bloggers' faces, and suspenders are always a solid accessory choice. ????#QOTD #FinallyFriday #FridayFashion #HumbleBrag #DenimDaze #Persols #SuspenderSexy #PhotoShoot #BaconAndEggs #BetchesWhoBrunch ???? #OfficeStyle (???? @davinteescreenprint , buy shirt at mystore.davintee.com/okay)

This hardcore dad puts even pro-skiers to shame!

Fabulous day on the slopes! ???????? Today's style theme is all about layers. When on the slopes you have to be cautious about temperature control. Obviously I got too HOT ???? ????, so I had to shed all my upper layers except my #paisley blue bandana, which I matched with a basic red #OceanPacific swim trunk (great substitute for ski pants). ????If you don't have pockets, don't fret; I always have my FAVE accessory, a fanny pack, ready to go!! #AllPurposeShorts #OOTD #FashionBlogger #SkiStyle???? #SlopeChic ???? #FannyPackOnFleek #GloveLove #FashionDads #WinterWear via @jerryoftheday

Of course, no true dad wears birkenstocks without white socks!

It may be freezing in many parts of the country but here in #Florida, we have beautiful weather and opportunities to show off our #SpringStyle year round! ???????????????????? Because it is a little chillier today, I paired a classic #LLBean utility #Oxford with my army green #Soffe shorts. ???? To keep with the winter-meets-summer motif, I'm wearing white crew socks with my #Teva sandals, and completed the look with a stunning #SafariHat. Happy winter, everyone! #OOTD #FloridaFashion #PoolsideChic #WinterWear #FashionWeek #GetMyLook #Yeezus #SpringCollection2015 #SocksAndSandals #FootwearOnFleek #HoldOntoYourHats #LiveLaughLove #FashionDads via @kendall.h

This Disney-loving dad left us speechless

Here is the 2nd installment of the highly anticipated Airport Fashion Blog! On my #redeye to #DisneyWorld I knew I would be getting right off the plane and heading to the #MagicKingdom. For that reason I chose to wear something chic and comfortable. To start this ensemble I threw on a two tone dry-fit #Champion cut-off matched with my personal favorite #Disney character #MinnieMouse compression leggings by #Kmart. I always like to finish it off with a comfortable pair of metallic #Nike running shoes ????. Now you're ready to hit the parks in style! ???? Happy Thursday!! #DisneyDiva ???? #AllDryFitEverything #AirplaneChic #OverheadBinStyle #FashionBlogger #FashionIsLife #FirstClassFlow #Southwest ✈️ #OrlandoStyle #FloridaVibes #ParkPass #ExtraMagicalHours #IDontSweatISparkle ???? #FashionDads via @elainmarie

What's an awesome outfit without an awesome hair style?

Like I always say.....hair can truly make or break an outfit!! ???? I put together this classic beach ensemble of a baby blue #Izod shirt and island-themed #Billabong swim trunks from #PacSun, but I was feeling a little #basic, so I got my hair beaded! ???? I think the neon color scheme really ties everything together. #OOTD #BeachLooks ⚓️???????? #OceanfrontFashion #CoastalCouture #BeadsOnFleek #HairWear #HappyHues #ILiveWhereYouVacation #Blessed ???? #HairModel #DivaDad #90sVibes #IslandStyle ???? #LovelyLocks #MustacheFlow #FashionDads via @laura_n_desisto ????
