Instagram Account Celebrates the Awkward Perfection That Is Dad Fashion

There’s a new viral Instagram account making the rounds that we need to talk about. It’s called “Fashion Dads” and it’s everything you could hope for … possibly even more.

Ashley Hesseltine and Travis May of Atlanta decided to start the account in early December. One month and 19 posts later, @Fashiondads has over 31k followers.

What makes it such a success? Possibly because every child can relate to it. These dads are our dads. The very men who changed our diapers and embarrassed us time and again at school pick-up.

“We were talking about our own dads’ ridiculous outfits and were like, ‘We should create an Instagram account for this,” Hessetine told ABC News. “We started with pictures of our own dads then people started submitting them.”

And boy are we glad they did. This gent? He’s just straight up killing it:

In fact, these men look so fantastic we decided to get in on the action. So let’s cheers to the men who raised us. The men who taught us how to ride a bike, if not how to dress. Here are some of our favorite looks from the Babble edit team’s dads:
