Dad Jeans I did it. I really did it. I bought some dad jeans. Not only did I buy one pair, I bought four pair. Does this mean that I’ve reached middle age? Maybe my dad style is here to stay? Its not that the jeans I bought are horrible, they’re just dad jeans. They are comfortable, even if they are a little frumpy. I guess I’ve come to the point I no longer need to be seen in skinny jeans or jeans that my butt crack sticks out of when I bend down. I can actually put my money clip and cell phone in the pockets of my dad jeans. So what are dad jeans, precisely? Theyre essentially sweatpants in denim form. Dad jeans are anything but fashionable and fall decidedly on the “don’t” side of men’s fashion. They are worn in the name of comfort and relaxed fit by aging men with salt and pepper hair. I’ve never really considered myself that hip or stylish anyway. I do have two kids and drive a minivan, but am I really dressing like Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Harbaugh, and President Obama? My dad jeans are unfashionable and unflattering. I might no longer be cool, but I don’t want to be embarrassing either. I’ve decided that I’ll have my wife help me next time. The jeans she’ll have me try on will feel a little tighter than what is comfortable, but I pledge to suck it up and take one for the team. Yes, I want to be comfortable, but if I left the house feeling the ultimate level of comfort every day, I’d be wearing my old sweat pants all of the time. Nobody wants that. Dad jeans can’t be all bad, Steve Jobs wore them. Then again, Danny Tanner from Full House wore them as well. Now that I have dad jeans on, I can probably stop wearing my wedding ring. They are like women repellent. I’m starting to feel like I’m an eighties sitcom star. What’s next after dad jeans? Maybe a new pair of white New Balance “walking” shoes. If you’re a dad and you’re comfortable in your jeans, don’t laugh too hard, your SUV is really a glorified minivan.
