SUNDAY STROLL: RAD DADS RULE

A shout-out to all the special dads out there.

Father’s Day is around the corner, which means it’s time, once again, to pay homage to dudes everywhere who take care of business. Dudes who just get it done, period. For their kids, for their partners, for their friends–you name it. Dudes who, despite all the crazy demands on their time, still manage to stay hip and radiate coolness. These fathers are modern-day renaissance men who balance dynamic careers with busy family and social lives. They’re active, they’re on the scene, they’re forward-looking. Call them dads 2.0.

You know the type, right? Shucks, maybe you are the type. Millenial dads who aren’t afraid to don a baby carrier around the park with floral espadrilles and aviator sunglasses. Contemporary, hipster padres who refuse to play it safe and can rock accessories like a backpack, a sweet timepiece, and some funky bracelets with confidence and ease. These groovy dads are dialed in, plugged in, and represent a new breed of fatherhood. We think these new-fashioned, progressive heroes deserve some love and special treatment, don’t you? Let’s salute them this Father’s Day Sunday with a day off that befits their awesomeness. Give that special dad in your life the best gift possible–time to himself to spend whichever way he pleases. And hey, if you are that special dad, we tip our hats to you.
