There’s a look for every type of patriarch. this year, give Dad the surprise of his life: by becoming his (better-dressed) doppelgänger.

The Cool Dad

He owns a motorcycle jacket, but doesn’t own a motorcycle. His playlist is suspiciously good for someone who uses reading glasses. He’s mastered the off-duty Paul Newman look—crisp white tee, well-worn jeans, and a devil-may-care attitude that’s been aging like a single malt.

He swears he saw Nirvana live and refuses to elaborate. Bonus points if he refers to anyone under 30 as “kid”, or worst, “bro”.

Look Like Him: Go full James Dean meets The Row and a little bit of androgyny. Think buttery-soft leather, washed denim, and aviators that could blind a small country. Saint Laurent and Yohji Yamamoto are your best bets; rebel and refined. No one pulls off aloof luxury quite like them.

The Trendy Dad

He knew about ChatGPT before you. He wears chunky sneakers unironically. He’s been stealing your skincare for months but calls it “borrowing”. He’s the guy who has a vinyl room of first press records, follows interior design accounts, and maybe—just maybe—has a TikTok with suspiciously high production value.

He’s up to date, possibly too up to date. He recently said “no cap” at a restaurant and tried to explain lore to your mom.

Look Like Him: Go graphic, go boxy, go Balenciaga. This is the dad who thrives in LOEWE knits, Prada nylon, and the occasional Jacquemus moment. He may not understand quiet luxury, but he is loud money.

The Hippie Dad

He composts. He meditates. He has a tattoo by Apo Whang-Od. His Birkenstocks are basically an extension of the soul. He carries more linen than most resort towns. He owns a small island just for his “plants”.

This dad sees life as a journey—and the wardrobe as a handwoven map. There’s always a podcast playing, and it’s never under 90 minutes. He may think Joe Rogan is “sometimes right”.

Look Like Him: Go earthy, floaty, and slightly wrinkled in the most expensive way possible. Gabriela Hearst is your patron saint. Layer up in Amiri, Bode’s newer relaxed pieces, or anything that says you bought property in Siargao before it became a hashtag.

The Serious Dad

Pressed, polished, and punctual. He’s the kind of man who has specific instructions on how to iron his undershirts and owns more belts than emotions. You’ve never seen him in shorts. Ever. His wardrobe is 50% navy, 50% charcoal, and 100% intimidation at the dinner table.

He doesn’t make jokes—he makes points. He makes you feel guilty before offering life advice you didn’t ask for.

Look Like Him: Suit up, soldier. Think tailoring so sharp it could slice through generational trauma. Zegna, Tom Ford, or Brunello Cucinelli will do nicely. Clean lines, crisp collars, and zero room for nonsense, or novelty socks. Perhaps because it’ll look too serious, add a feminine accent.

The Sporty Dad

He’s the guy in your neighborhood whose dog walks turn into sprints, even if the dog has gone home by himself after just one lap. He drinks protein shakes for dessert and thinks compression socks are formalwear. His idea of bonding is a 5AM circuit and matching dry-fit tops.

If he’s not talking about his golf swing, he’s reviewing his Apple Watch stats—loudly. He may have peaked in varsity, but he’s convinced the his Olympics are still ahead.

Look Like Him: Go sleek and technical, like a fashion-forward triathlete. Go unhinged and mix sportswear labels: Off-White activewear, or Nike x MMW for that futuristic performance-chic blend. Throw in the On Running x LOEWE sneakers if you want him to really feel seen.

This Father’s Day, forget matching mugs or engraved pens. Show up looking like his sartorial shadow and watch him pretend not to be deeply, deeply moved. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery—and nothing says “I love you, Dad” like looking like him.
