In 2017, anything 'dad' is sartorially cool. Agreed—it wasn't in 2016, but 'dressing like daddy' is a thing this year. Think relaxed-fit jeans, baseball caps, ordinary sneakers or just a T-shirt tucked all the way in. And not to forget—the dad bod! Anything 40-something, neatly put together is all of a sudden, a LIT move to make. Raining on the parade is the Internet's new poster boy, R.Madhavan. Who touché—is all fit and faine but bringing his A-game in true dad style (obv. sans the bod). If his recent airport outing is any proof...

First of all, I'm kinda digging the black hoodie. It's tucked right in and that's giving me life. Quite an off-beat piece to tuck into a pair of jeans, but I'm seeing nothing wrong here. Looks quite appropriate on this good-looking man! Next up, the simple AF baseball cap. Actually, not that simple—I can see some texture in there. Now blame it on Normcore or my affinity towards anything not-trendy-looking—his plain, classic denims too, are a welcome change for me. Ripped and distressed variants aren't clearly for him and I'd say, that a really good decision he's made. But notice: the fit is relaxed but yet, SO flattering. Big ups!

And now for the element that's making this outfit—the chukka boots. Laud this man! He's picked a matured pair, stuck to a neutral and polished his outfit with this one single move. So average Joe, but so f-ing classy. My last mention: the sling bag! Just how practical is that?
