It is an unfortunate stereotype that once a man becomes father, he kind of lets himself go. This has lead to cultural catchphrase like "dad jeans". The truth is that a lot of guys never had a very good sense of style prior to becoming a dad, and afterwards they just got worse. Good fashion is actually pretty simple though, especially for guys. Below are a few good tips that will help you present a whole new style to the world that both you and your family can be proud of.

Keep It Simple

Sticking to "timeless" styles is always the best route to go. A simple t-shirt paired with a nice pair of jeans. According to, jeans are acceptable for almost any casual occasion. Throw on a button-down instead of a t-shirt, and you’ve got a whole new wardrobe for the casual office. Don't go in for anything with a busy design. Shirts with pictures aren't very befitting of a grown man. Also remember, simple does not mean boring. Plain t-shirts are great, but if all you ever wear are mild earth tones, things will get a little stale. Throw in some bold colors every once in a while just to show off.

Formalwear and Accessories

Every man should have at least one very nice suit. This suit should be well-made and built to last a long time. It should also be tailored. Stick to the basics as far as colors go. Black is overly formal, and rather inflexible as far as shoes, ties, and shirt options go. Instead, opt for a dark charcoal or navy suit, two colors that can go with almost anything.

In regards to accessories, be sure to have only what you need. Bracelets don't work for most men, so avoid those. A good watch on the other hand, is always fashionable. Don't just rely on your cell phone. Leather band wrist watches are good for any kind of occasion.

Quality Over Quantity

The most important thing to remember is to buy products of good quality. The better something is, the longer it will last. That means less time and money shopping for clothes and more time spent doing the things you love. Realize that expensive does not always mean quality, although it often does. Trusted brands are your best bet. A quick note on "dad jeans": buy American denim from retailers like www.allusaclothing.com, or another store that offers American-made quality. Denim jeans were invented in America, and this country still offers some of the highest quality denim anywhere. Jeans were meant to be rugged and worn for a long time.

As far as fashion for fathers goes, things aren't very hard. Just stick to the basics and add your own personal spin on things. By doing this, you won't embarrass anyone and you can feel good about yourself. Presenting a good image is part of being a great father.
