Our dads aren’t usually the first place we look for fashion inspo but there’s no denying sneakers your pop<\/a> would’ve worn in the ’90s are having a major fashion moment. You’ve probably seen your favorite style stars rocking the trend, pairing chunky, orthopedic-soled sneaks with everything from flowy floral midi dresses to pantsuits. They’re bulky, old-school, and they’re everywhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t love a\u00a0throwback trend? We’re embracing the dad sneaker in all of its dorky glory. Care to join us? Of course you do. If you’re not sure exactly how to pull this look off, we’ve styled three no-fail, street-style worthy outfits ahead to get you started.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Floral Mash Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\"how\n

Mix your chunky kicks with their sartorial opposite\u00a0 \u2014 in this case, an ultrafeminine frilly dress. The color palette of the floral print picks up the hues of the sneakers and a denim jacket with a black crossbody plays up the sporty aspect. The result? A perfect balance.<\/p>\n

Sexy Edgy<\/strong><\/p>\n\"look\n

Balance out a bulkier shoe shape with a fitted dress.\u00a0Camo is basically a neutral so don’t be afraid to mix it with bold stripes for a cool date night look.\u00a0 Anchor it all with a cropped vegan leather jacket and gold hoops.<\/p>\n

Power\u00a0Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\"how\n

Show everyone who wears the pants with a pantsuit worthy of a megablogger. Do the tonal thing\u00a0by pairing\u00a0shades of purple, then accent the look with sleek accessories like a gold layered necklace and polished croc-embossed clutch.<\/p>\n
