Father’s Day Style Guide

Father’s Day Style Guide: Trendy Picks for Dad from Brooklyn Cloth 

Father’s Day is coming up, and let’s be real—Dad has done a lot. He’s the weekend warrior, the family DJ, the grill general, and the guy who still manages to fix the Wi-Fi and your car in the same day. He’s always showing up—and this year, it’s time we return the favor in style.

Here’s a Father’s Day style guide that’ll have our dads stepping into summer looking effortlessly fresh. Whether he’s a backyard boss, trendsetter, music-head, or just chilling on a Sunday, Brooklyn Cloth has the fit for every kind of father. Scroll down to meet the dads—and the pieces made just for them.

 

1. The Grill Master Dad

The backyard is his runway. The spatula is his mic. And every cookout? His stage.

This dad lives for the sizzle. He’s manning the grill rain or shine, but don’t let the apron fool you—he’s got taste…style-wise and flavor-wise.

His Must-Haves:

• Heavy Flannel Shacket
  Grill Dad knows layering is key. The heavyweight flannel keeps him warm on chilly nights, while the rugged plaid nods to his taste. Toss it over a simple tee for an easy fit. You know your dad best; choose from a variety of color palettes, from vibrant red and navy to classic black and white!
• Side Pocket Zip Twill Jogger 2.0
  Clean, casual, and ready for action. These joggers feature an elastic waistband, a side zipper pocket, and elastic cuffs around the ankles for a look that’s comfortable yet stylish. The waistband comes with an adjustable drawstring to offer plenty of flex when flipping patties on the grill. 

Bonus: the side zips keep his phone safe when he’s mid-flip. Find his perfect pair in Khaki, Charcoal Grey, Olive, and Black.

 Gift Tip: Add a little smoke to his style game with a cast iron skillet built to last, his Brooklyn Cloth fit, and a playlist that’s heavy on classics and good vibes.

2. The Vinyl Vibe Dad

He had good taste before Spotify playlists existed.

This is the dad who has crates of vinyl alphabetized in the garage and still has the receipt for his first turntable. He’s effortlessly cool—the kind of dad who wears vintage tees not because they’re trendy, but because he’s had them since ‘89.

His Essentials:

• Originals Front Flock Tee: Soft, lived-in, and slightly faded in all the right ways. This tee is a classic, with a minimalist graphic that nods to old-school cool. It pairs perfectly with his favorite denim jacket if he’s feeling the layers.

 

• 7" Inseam Zip Pocket Fleece Short: These are his weekend warriors. Soft fleece with zip pockets that keep his AirPods and record brush secure. The 7” inseam gives a modern edge without looking like he’s trying too hard.
• VASH x Brooklyn Cloth: Crane Queen Cap: A true statement piece. Designed in collab with VASH, this cap is for the dad who isn’t afraid to show some edge. The embroidered crane gives it that rare collectible feel—perfect for the guy who appreciates design and detail.
  
  

Gift Tip: Pair the outfit with a remastered version of his favorite album and the Luv Yours Mug in Black. Now he can sip his morning brew while spinning some classic tunes.

3. The Weekend Wanderer Dad

Not a fan of plans, but a pro at making the most of any day.

This dad’s all about the moments—whether he’s catching a sunrise, cruising to the nearest diner, or just vibing on the porch. No rush, no stress—just good times and easy style.

His Favorites:

•   5” Inseam 2.0 Zip Pocket Fleece Short – Spearmint: These shorts are the perfect mix of chill and fresh. Light, breathable, and ready for anything—whether he’s hitting the trail or just kicking back on the porch. The pop of spearmint adds a touch of color without ever feeling over the top. Plus, the 5” inseam gives him just the right amount of freedom to move.
•  Originals Crewneck: This crewneck has a relaxed fit with just the right weight—easy to throw on when the breeze hits or the sun dips. It’s soft, low-key, and works with everything from joggers to denim. Basically, it’s his go-to for whatever the day throws his way.

Gift Tip: Pair it with a portable coffee mug to fuel his adventures and a classic pair of sneakers that are as comfortable as they are stylish for any spontaneous trip.

4. The Low-Key Style Dad

Understated. Always put together. Never trying too hard.

You won’t catch him posting #OOTDs on Instagram—but if he did, you’d be double-tapping. He likes things that fit well, feel good, and don’t need a lot of explaining. He leans into the classics, curates with care, and lets the details do the talking. 

His Go-To Pieces:

• Side Pocket Zip Twill Jogger 2.0: (yes, again—because they’re that versatile). The fit is tailored but relaxed, with just the right amount of stretch. The zip pockets keep things sleek (and practical), and the neutral tones make them a breeze to pair with anything. It’s a refined take on casual—exactly his speed.

 

• Stretch Twill Utility Cargo Pant: Quiet utility, strong style. These cargos cut the excess and keep it clean. Streamlined pockets, a tapered leg, and a soft twill fabric that feels broken-in but still looks fresh. It’s the kind of pant that works hard in the background—just like he does.
• Originals Front Flock Tee: A subtle graphic, a clean silhouette, and a soft, premium feel. This tee does the job without needing to be the center of attention. Whether layered under a jacket or worn solo, it’s a piece he’ll reach for on repeat—and no one will blame him.

Gift Tip: Think functional and elevated: a well-designed coffee table book and the Luv Yours Mug

5. The Hipster Dad

He’s got a standing espresso order, a favorite vintage shop, and probably built his own bike. From farmers markets to brewery pop-ups, Hipster Dad knows how to mix old-school charm with new-school sensibility.

His Style Staples:

• Short-Sleeve Cropped Bedstuy Motor Club Button Up Shirt: Retro-inspired, cropped just right, and loaded with cool points. This button-up is the definition of low-key standout—perfect for sunny strolls through Williamsburg or grabbing a cortado on the go.
• Canvas Workwear Vest:This isn’t your average utility vest—it’s intentional style disguised as practicality. Made with heavyweight canvas and a relaxed fit, it layers effortlessly over graphic tees or flannels. The oversized front pockets are perfect for stashing his phone, reusable coffee lid, and disposable camera.

Gift Tip: Complete the look with a coffee subscription from a local roaster.

 Father’s Day Gifting: How to Nail It

Father’s Day isn’t about overdoing it—it’s about getting it right. Here's how:

• Mix Style + Hobby
• Layer Function + Comfort: Dads love utility. Zippered pockets, soft fleece, adjustable waistbands? Automatic win.
• Think Completes: A new short is great—but pair it with a tee, a hat, and a mug? Keep it clean. Keep it curated.
