Dad culture is probably the greatest social phenomenon since sliced bread. Are you a fan of dad culture? The dad jokes, the New Balance shoes, the light wash Levi jeans, and you can't forget the white shirt tucked into the Levi's, of course. Dad culture is glorious and everyone should become a fan. And if you happen to be a dad and you are reading this, stop what you're doing right now an go buy some New Balance running shoes; they're just so in right now. Here are some valid reasons you should love dad culture, because it's just that great.
1. The beer belly.
Yup. In order to be a stereotypical dad, you need the beer belly, and I think that goes without saying. I just had to make sure you knew that I knew that this was one of the most important aspects of dad culture.
2. The shoes.
This is the epitome of dad culture. Yup, this right here. Go look at pictures of your Dad in the 90s, or even now, and I guarantee you he is wearing these. Go check, I dare you.
3. The jeans.
Ah yes, the iconic light wash jeans. Thanks to Romney for choosing the light wash jeans. These are the key to dad culture: Baggy, dare I say it, dad jeans. Get yourself a pair.
4. The classic white t-shirt tucked into the jeans.
Or jorts, for this matter. The classic white t-shirt tucked into any jean material just screams "dad." Your dad probably has at least 10 plain white tees, and they're probably made by Fruit of the Loom.
5. The jokes.
Dad jokes are the best kind of jokes, hands down. The classic puns are what make these dad jokes the best. I'm sure your dad has a few up his sleeve.
6. T-shirts with the word "dad" in there somewhere.
This is one of my own personal favorites. And this is actually a t-shirt that my Dad has (lol). If you look closely, you can see the shadow of his phone on the t shirt. That's pretty "dad" if you ask me.
So there you go, here are the main ways to appreciate and observe classic dad behavior. And if you're a particular fan, make sure you send your dad this article so he can become even more of a dad than he probably already is.
