Emily Ratajkowski is fully embracing dadcore dressing this fall, and I’m not mad about it at all. As the weather gets cooler, the clothes get cozier, and what’s cozier than your dad’s oldest sweatshirt?
The podcaster was spotted enjoying the brisk weather in New York City on September 20, wearing comfy borrowed-from-the-boys layers. Ratajkowski wore tapered gray jeans, an oversized blue sweatshirt that reached midthigh, and a vintage-style brown leather jacket over that. She finished the look with narrow shades and gray New Balance sneakers with woolly socks pulled up. It’s giving early-’90s dad in the best way. Basically, if you needed another sign to start raiding your older male relatives’ closets, consider this that.
Fellow fashion It girl Hailey Bieber was one of dadcore’s earliest adopters, as the gigantic leather bomber and jorts have become staples of her wardrobe. Kendall Jenner is another supermodel who’s embraced the sitcom-dad look, pairing a chocolate brown bomber with a souvenir baseball cap for peak Danny Tanner vibes. And, of course, the ubiquitous dad-shoe trend—from New Balance sneakers to Blake Lively’s raffia sandals—shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
Honestly, who needs sundresses when you can swathe yourself in layers of vintage sweatshirts and leather?
