Chalk it up to the Sandy Liang effect, but there’s a new dad trend in town, and I. am. excited. Now, along with my dad sneakers, dad necklace, dad jeans, and maybe even my dad hat—if I so please—I’ll most definitely be sporting a dad fleece this fall because, honestly, it’s cool.

Aside from the aforementioned It designer’s endorsement, you can find the dad fleece (which also can be referred to as sherpa, pile, faux shearling, and a new word I learned while researching this story: borg) anywhere from Zara to Nordstrom, which means there aren’t just a range of styles to choose from, but price points too. To see (and shop) my favorites to buy now and wear on the regular throughout the season ahead, simply continue on below.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
