Let’s be honest, being a busy dad is hard work. There is always something to fix, somewhere to take the kids and a million other things that need doing every day. Of course, in an ideal world, we’d all walk around in sharply bespoke tailored suits, with the perfect amount of man stubble ala David Gandhi, but the truth of it is dressing for comfort is pretty vital if you want to get things done as a dad. The good news is that you can dress in a comfortable and supportive way, without negatively impacting your rad-dad cred. Just keep reading to find out how.

Foundation garments are everything
Have you ever noticed that nearly all fashion posts for women highlight how vital the right foundation garments are? It makes sense too because if the items closest to your skin aren’t comfortable, then it doesn’t matter how agreeable the rest of your outfit is. Indeed, the wrong undergarments can cause all sorts of problems such as chafing and restriction that can put a real crimp in your day.
Fortunately, the careful consideration and design that has been applied to women’s undergarments for so long are now working their way into men’s design. In particular, items like these boxer briefs with pouch provide plenty of room and lift so all the important things fall into place. Therefore offering superior comfort through your busy day.
Organic cotton t-shirt in bright colors
Good quality, organic, and sustainably sourced cotton t-shirts are a rad-dad wardrobe staple for good reason. Firstly, they are comfortable and breathable, and they can be layered easily with other items, making them suitable for a range of climates and weathers. They also tend to wash well which means they will look great for longer.
You can also buy them in a range of bright, on-trend colors, and quickly update your wardrobe simply and fashionably. Using organic materials, such as hemp for mens boxer briefs, is a great way to go green in the most stylish ways possible. Best of all, buying clothes made from responsibly sourced fabrics is a great way of leading by example for your kids, and also provides a jumping-off point for discussing eco issues and how we can all do our part with them.
Classic jeans – stay classic
Jeans are another smart choice for dads that want to look rad, but also stay comfy. Of course, there are many fits to choose from such as skinny, super skinny, ripped, and boot cut. However, instead of being at the whim of the trends, the best option here is to go for a classic fit. The reason being these are likely to feel the best on and are a more timeless option which means you don’t run the risk of suddenly finding yourself off-trend as the fashions change.
Fun accessories – add texture and interest
Last, of all, it’s easy to ‘rad-up’ any outfit with a few well-chosen accessories. Fun socks in bright colours with bold designs can work well here. While in the summer a well-chosen pair of sunglasses in the classic RayBan style will keep you looking cool, despite the heat.
