Answer 1

That's what's up. This is what I plan to do when I get older.

Answer 2

Cage SC: You look great on a stationary MC wearing standard issue biker duds; however, I for one never threw my leg over my two-wheeler without more appropriate riding apparel (something to help keep my brain and my skin from excessive damage.) Hey, at least you have proper eye protection, a safety chain for your wallet, and gloves. I also expect that you are wearing heavy boots as well.

My riding days spanned more than three decades on everything from a 80cc Yamaha to a 6 cylinder Honda CBX. I put a Honda 400-F through the lower-48 wearing leathers and a Bell Star. My last ride was by far the most fun...and of course it was a Harley-Davidson. I miss riding; however, I have a summer car that rocks.

Answer 3

Of course dad's can be fashionable, they are no different than mother's being fashionable. However, pertaining to this outfit, I wouldn't refer to it as being fashionable but comfortable. This dad is cool with himself, a lot of fathers would never resort to short shorts and just be comfortable in a jogging suit or a pair of jeans. It's all about what floats your boat, you know different strokes for different folks.

Answer 4

It's possible.

Answer 5

My father was a teacher when teachers taught for the love of teaching, certainly not for the money. Teachers also dressed to inspire respect, another lost art. My dad wore a suit, shirt and tie all day every day to teach junior high and high school students.

My ex husband who retired from his second career about five years ago only to, no surprise here, find he hates being retired and is now into his third career "dresses for success" in each of these. He worked in a paper mill, then ran a warehouse, and is now working in retail. He has never worn the suits, shirts, and ties like my dad, but he dresses appropriately and nicely. Our ******** have never had anything to complain about when it comes to dad dressing "fashionably."

Answer 6

Aw **** naw...............not with shorty shorts.

Answer 7

Tastelessness can exist in anyone regardless to parenthood, age or ***.

Answer 8

It's a matter of choice, and what is tasteless to some, might not be to others. Now my dad was a cool dad, but short shorts was not in his wardrobe. It's all about what a man is comfortable in.

Answer 9

Define fashionable...and...who cares?

Answer 10

Thanks, Mayor. I cannot imagine ever not riding. I have a helmet, but we have certain "pack" riding traditions that don't allow for **** head gear (unless we leave the state). We ride wheel to wheel and extra leather is only to ward off the cold, rain or sleet. We rely on each other and our many thousands of miles of riding together to keep us safe in a group. We ride **** and long. The bike above has over 70K on it. Nothing's *******. We accept the risks as brothers. If we go, we go. At least we'll go doing what we love. This is me riding WITH a brain bucket in NC.

Answer 11

Just fashionable with what's in keeping with their own generation.

Answer 12

Cage SC: I accept your pack riding traditions even though I am a solo rider. I go where I choose. I stop went I want to stop. I go as fast or as slow as I feel like going given several factors out of my control. A bike is freedom!

Here is the before mentioned 'summer car'.

If you are ever up for the Laconia Rally, look me up.

Answer 13

It depends on the Dad!

Answer 14

Exactly, I agree with you 100%, men are no different than females in that aspect, this world would be in sad shape if we all thought alike, and dressed alike. Nothing like diversity!

Answer 15

What is fashionable about cut-off jeans or short-shorts on ANYONE? That's not fashion -- that's a FAD.

Answer 16

I guess it would depend upon the person, there are those who probably don't have a problem with short shorts, and then there are those that wouldn't be caught dead in short shorts, I still contend that it has little to do with fashion and more to do with what you are comfortable in wearing.

Answer 17

yep.
Brad is pretty fashionable and many others.

Answer 18

https://ironingboardcollectiv... I think he's comfortable with himself, so he can wear almost anything! It's about choice.

Answer 19

Of course they can, and they do. You should have asked if lazy dads could ever become motivated to be more fashionable :)

Answer 20

As a dad, and getting quite elderly I could give a rats but less about what fashion I should wear, and I ****** you most in my position think the same thing.
It's the man inside the clothes that makes the man....

Answer 21

absolutely fashion for daddy is a must

Answer 22

But some shouldn't try....

Answer 23

Sure, but mine isn't!

Answer 24

Mine is! Mainly since he wears a work uniform and just a striped collar shirt and black pants to church.

Answer 25

I know some pretty hot dads!

Answer 26

Well that isnt, but would anyone normal wear that. To be honest my dad doesn't dress too bad he wears all designer he wont ever wear a tshirt without a brand or jeans. I'm not saying that he always looks good cause sometimes i'm like oh my lord what are you wearing! Tracksuit bottoms!! ahahah

Answer 27

Not sure why they would want to be but sure they can be.

Answer 28

I have some stretchy athletic shorts that make my kids cringe...very fashionable.

Answer 29

My dad's style isn't that bad.

Answer 30

by all means they can, but just not like that... I help my Dad wear the right choices not the wrong.

Answer 31

It depends on the guy whether he’s a fashionable or he isn’t.

Answer 32

Obviously!? - http://parentsavvy.com/articl...

Answer 33

Of course!!! I know pmenty who are very fashionable. And not because their wives or girlfriends pick out their clothes.

Answer 34

His shirt says best dad, not best dressed dad!

Answer 35

Yes they can, but not in short shorts...EVER!!!

Answer 36

Yes they can.

Answer 37

I'm a proud dad, and I always dress nicely, unless I'm cleaning the house or something similar. I believe you should never leave the house unless you are pleased with how you look. Your appearance is truly the first impression you will leave on anyone you meet.

Answer 38

Define fashionable!

Fashionable Aborigine father.

Answer 39

Dads alone not likely. Married men mostly depend on wives to dress them....not all but most men.
It's a married man nature not to be fashionable.....unless he must dress for his job he will grab the first item he puts his hand on and wear it.

Answer 40

Tp a point
