1. Jorts
That old pair of jeans that are so ripped they’re hanging beneath your knees? Cut them loose, and you have yourself a pair of jorts. Your dad wore them first but we wouldn’t suggest going that short.
2. Windbreakers
You may have been born in the eighties but your dad was owning them.
3. Leather jackets
He probably had the bike to match but the jackets are still going strong.
4. Statement moustaches
You’ll always strive for your father’s facial hair, but let’s be real. Yours pales in comparison.
5. Beards
Bow to your forefathers, hipsters.
6. Hawaiian shirts
You questioned them when you were younger, now you covet them.
7. 50s Undercut
Your dad was rocking this as a child. Let that sink in.
8. Long hair
The man bun has nothing on the ultimate unkempt hair of the 70s.
9. Sweaters
Your dad was pioneering ‘normcore’ while you were puking on all his good stuff.
10. Aviators
He’s probably got an original pair of Ray Bans in his desk drawer you would kill for.
11. Pea coats
Where would we be without them?
12. Birkenstocks
Every summer. Every man, woman and child.
13. Turtlenecks
You know you look good in yours, but god damnit look at that man.
14. Corduroys
Warm, practical and bang on trend.Probably don't go full flare though.
15. Tennis socks and shoes
Those Adidas Originals socks that you love? Your dad had them too.
16. Bomber jackets
Your dad was all over this.
17. Double denim
It's come back around at least three times since your dad was wearing the trend.
18. skinny jeans
Think they started in the 2000s? Think again.
19. ankle grazers
Flashing your ankles may be a present trend, but it’s a thing of the past.
20. suspenders
Your dad was making suspenders cool way before he made you.
