'Ridiculous Dad Fashion' the Butt of Hilarious Style Instagram - ABC News

"'Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.' --DVF. Went shopping @dianawarner tonight and LOVE LOVE this new orange sweater matched with a baby blue khaki short. Great for early spring outings and dinners. If you pair it with a long grey sock it is money."

Fathers are now #OnFleek, thanks to one Instagram account.

In an effort to call out the goofy fashion worn by fathers everywhere, Ashley Hesseltine, 31 and Travis May, 30 of Atlanta created @FashionDads_ Instagram.

Footwear is so important to complete any look. ???? I love my 2009 #NewBalances for both #style and #comfort with my relaxed fit #LeeJeans. #FabFootwear #Lebron #PracticalStyle #WinterWhite #FreshAndTight #DenimDiva ???? #GeorgeClooney #ComfortComesFirst #PersonalStyle #SearsSpecial #ThoseHardwoodsTho #FashionDads

The two came up with the idea for the account during the holidays.

This Instagram Peers Through the Eyes of a 2-year-old

I like to call this look the double C -- cozy & chic. ?? I LOVE pairing a plaid robe with a solid 3/4 zip pullover. It's a subtle but fun way to mix it up! As for the hat, it's extremely important to keep a sense of humor in this industry. There will always be haters out there! #fashionblogger #LoveAndLaughter ???? #OldNavyRobe #Polo3/4Zip #GapSweats #HanesWhiteTshirtsandSocks #MyWifeMadeMeWearThisHat #HatersGonnaHate #WhovilleStrong #IsCindyLouWho18Yet #fashiondad (via~ @jessieholt_ )

“We were talking about our own dads' ridiculous outfits and were like, ‘We should create an Instagram account for this," Hesseltine said. “We started with pictures of our own dads then people started submitting them."

It's #BoxingDay ?? and I'm relaxing after all the holiday hoopla and celebrating my #Canadian roots in all red #Polo and a touch of white with my favorite athletic socks. Wearing the same color and designer from head to toe makes a strong and powerful style statement. ??#AllRedEverything ?????? #ColorOfPassion #PassionForFashion #RalphLauren #Relaxation #Confidence #PorcelainSkin #ThighGame #IfYouGotItFlauntIt #BaeCaughtMePosing #NaturalModel #WhyIsThereNoCanadianFlagEmoji? ?? #LoveTheLifeYouLive #CelebrateYourHeritage via @lizzyorum19

Each photo comes with a funny caption describing the outfits each dad is sporting.

All are accompanied by comical hashtags like #WalmartEverything, #HighFashion and #StrikeaPose.

If there's one style mantra I live by: Footwear. Is. Everything. ???? I love these #vintage white leather Velcro sneakers with a navy accent on the tongue. They look fab with my #Arizona relaxed fit jeans and are #fashionable and #functional. #StyleStatement #CasualAndConfident #Velcro #Leather #AllPurpose #DenimDiva ???? #SockGameOnPoint #SportyChic #FashionDads via @nickvia

“It's to showcase ridiculous dad fashion in a satirical fashion blogger style.” Hesseltine says. “We think everyone with a father can relate.”

When I am visiting my private chalet I like to wear light grey sweats with an apple red flannel. ?? Throw on a pair of white Newmans with a khaki sock and not only do you look good but you fit right in with the locals. ?? #ChaletFashion ?????? #fashionblogger #HighFashion #StrikeAPose #EddieBauer #Newmans #StarterSweats #Layers #WalMartEverything #UsedToBeADancer #TinyDancer #GodBlessElton #ImScaredofHeights #JustHadANoseBleed ???? #WhyDidIBuyAChalet #GetMeOutOfHere #fashiondads via @jessjess_ka

The end goal of Fashion Dads, according to Hesseltine, is simply to make people laugh.
