Dress your dad in an outfit he'll actually wear this Father's Day
For years, "dad fashion" might have conjured ideas of ill-fitting jeans and old t-shirts, but times have changed. The right outfit can provide the comfort and confidence they need to feel their best, from the office or job site to the backyard, golf course, kitchen, or the gym.
Here are 13 apparel pieces that your dad will actually wear.
Whether your dad is an outdoorsman with a sense of adventure or prefers a quiet day on the golf course, he deserves an outfit that makes him look and feel great.
This hooded jacket from Berne is a solid pick for work and leisure activities like hunting or fishing. The camouflage option is best for blending into your surroundings, while the brown, navy, green and black colors are ideal for everyday wear. It has a water-repellent finish, an insulated hood and knit storm cuffs to keep you covered. You might also consider this camo hoodie that's a little more lightweight.

Made from recycled plastic bottles and oyster shell powder, this sustainable t-shirt is moisture-wicking, odor-controlling and boasts UPF 50 sun protection. There's a range of sizes (S to 3XL) and seven colors to choose from. The shirt is versatile and looks just as good with hiking pants as it does with jeans.
Teeing off or hitting the tiki bar has never been more stylish. This performance golf polo checks all the boxes: it has four-way stretch (meaning it moves with you, rather than against you), UPF 40 sun protection, moisture wicking technology and a breathable, wrinkle-resistant fit. It's only made better by the fact that the brand offers the shirt in kids' sizes for father-son matching.
Rain or shine, these golf pants are an integral part of a day on the course. They're comfortable, breathable and stretchy enough to offer full range of motion, even when swinging a golf club. Take your pick between seven colors, each of which is made from water-resistant, wrinkle-free fabric. And if you're shopping for a golfer, you may want to consider throwing in a set of all-weather Callaway golf gloves.
If your dad likes to be dressed up on the job, these shirts and trousers will fit the bill. They're rooted in durability, reliability and comfort – three elements dads value most.
Designed for the guy who wants to look good but feel comfortable throughout the workday, Peter Millar's jersey polos are a must-have. Though the shirt has a collar (making it office, tennis court and golf course appropriate), it feels the opposite of stuffy. In fact, it features a stretchy, sweat-wicking and odor-resistant fabric. The brand also carries the polo with MLB teams embroidered on the chest, so dad can showcase team pride from the office to the stands.
Original price: $149
A cross between chinos and suit trousers, these slim fit pants are cut from the same cloth as Charles Tyrwhitt's iconic suits. Easily dressed up or down, these stretchy pants feel good while dressing up the look much more than than a pair of khakis or jeans. They're also stain-repellent. Consider adding a belt for the full effect.
Original price: $129
With a soft, flexible waistband and a stretchy fabric, these dress pants feel a lot like your favorite sweatpants. They have an athletic tapered fit that goes down to the shoe. Plus, they're spill-proof and moisture-wicking, making them practical for everyday life. Pair the pants with a linen shirt, and you've got yourself a comfortable outfit ready for anything.
Available in 32 colors, four fit options (tailored, slim, standard and athletic) and three shirt lengths (regular, short and long) this short-sleeve shirt makes getting dressed very easy. It's constructed from cotton with a mechanical stretch, providing a lightweight, breezy feel. You can also find a similar option on Amazon.
No matter what dad's workout of choice is, you'll want something sweat-wicking and breathable. Here are a few popular options for weight training, running, hiking and more.
Original price: $89.97
With a snug fit through the arms and shoulder with roominess in the middle, these crew neck shirts enhance the male physique. The blend of cotton and polyester jersey feels soft against the skin and offers unmatched breathability during workouts. Speaking of comfort, the shirts have an itch-free tag, too. Pick up a three-pack of the brand's active quick-dry shorts to complete the workout wardrobe.

Ralph Lauren Resort 2026 Collection
About midway through this lookbook, there's a sweater intarsia'd with the number 67 on the front. That's 67 as in 1967, the year Ralph Lauren launched his company, nearly half a century ago. Lauren is as responsible as anyone for shaping the world's understanding of American fashion. If his resort collection looks familiar, it's because he's been codifying these styles for decades. His tailoring is at once dressed-up and relaxed, in this case, it's double-breasted jackets and paperbag-waist pants, and he's long loved an unexpected mix, like the white tumbled cotton sundress with the vintage feel he favors that he tossed over a fine gauge navy turtleneck. Coming off a smashing fall 2025 collection, one in which he proved that even when he's being quoted left, right, and center, no one knows his work better than he does himself, Lauren was intent on simply refreshing his codes for resort. Still, there was still room for experiment and extravagance. Though at a glance you might guess it's taffeta, the race car yellow jacket worn with a floor-length black slip dress is actually made from an ultra-fine leather treated with a coated membrane that makes it water-repellant. And the lookbook-closing silvery-white strapless gown with its waterfalls of crystals and beads? That took 300 hours to complete.

The best lightweight running shoes for warm weather training, according to podiatrists
When you're looking to beat the heat, hit a personal record or even just meet your step count for the day, swapping your sandals for lightweight running shoes is one of the best exercise ideas to help you stay active in the summer heat. And while selecting the perfect lightweight running shoes for your purposes — be it trail running or strolling — can feel daunting, a few careful considerations from the pros are all it takes to help you breeze through your summer cardio sessions with ease. We tapped board-certified podiatrists to find out exactly what to look for in the best lightweight running shoes for warm weather training, along with the specific models they recommend shopping for a smoother run, walk or jog this summer. Brooks Women's Launch 10 Neutral Running Shoes 'For patients who are into running […] I recommend Brooks' Launch 10 neutral running shoes,' said Dr. Michael Nirenberg, clinical and forensic podiatrist at Friendly Footcare in Indiana. With these sneakers, you can expect their breathable knit uppers to keep your feet dry during long-distance runs, as well as their traction-heavy rubber outsoles to keep you stable on all terrains. Brooks Men's Launch 10 Neutral Running Shoes The best part about these breathable running shoes? Their lightweight cushioning allows for quick transitions so you can stay comfortable and dry while maintaining speed. For an even more lightweight and responsive feel, Brooks just launched the Launch 11 that'll help launch you to new personal records with improved stability thanks to its lower heel-to-toe drop. Brooks Women's Glycerin 21 Road Running Shoes 'I recommend these because they are lightweight, have a wide toe box and provide good stability,' Nirenberg said. 'They're not too firm or rigid, yet also not too soft, providing a good mix of support and flexibility. I joke they are the Goldilocks of running shoes!' With their responsive and plush fit, the updated Glycerin 22 is also a smart low-bulk bet. Brooks Men's Glycerin 21 Road Running Shoes In our roundup of our favorite Brooks running shoes, we call out how perfectly suited these lightweight running shoes are for everything from a quick treadmill run to a several-mile-long training session ahead of race day. New Balance Women's FuelCell Rebel V4 Running Shoes Dr. Adenike Sonaike, a podiatrist with Baker Street Health in Motion in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, loves these lightweight running shoes. These daily trainers by New Balance are by far the most lightweight out of her picks at around 168 grams in the average size, she said. Synthetic mesh uppers help keep the weight down so you stay light on your toes (and dry too). New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel V4 Running Shoes Opting for these running shoes is a solid bet in high temps when you need some extra breathability and performance. The brand's signature FuelCell foam combines PEBA and EVA technologies, and will help provide the fuel you need to stay propulsive during your daily run, be it a recovery jog or sprint intervals (sprintervals?).Puma Women's Velocity Nitro 3 Running Shoes If you experience excessive inward rolling of your heels, you may benefit from stability shoes from Puma's Nitro stability line to promote better alignment. Before your next warm weather run, be sure to grab Sonaike's lightweight pick for a smoother and more stable stride. Puma Men's Velocity Nitro 3 Running Shoes These stabilizing sneakers are free of extra bulk and instead offer stability at the heels along with breathable engineered mesh uppers and grippy rubber outsoles for further control as you crush those Women's Vaporfly 3 Running Shoes You'd be hard-pressed to find shoes that offer this level of propulsion and lightness, but that's exactly what these Nike beauties achieved when we tried them. We appreciate not only their full-length carbon fly plates for a smooth and snappy stride but their flared midsoles for a touch of extra stability in featherlight shoes that weigh around 165 grams each. Nike Men's Vaporfly 3 Running Shoes While the Vaporfly 3 sneakers for men technically shine during race day, you'll find yourself reaching for them on the hottest of days, thanks to their "barely there" Flyknit uppers and offset laces that won't further squeeze your insteps. You can upgrade your running game with the newest iteration of the shoes, the Vaporfly 4, designed with even lighter midsoles, outsoles and uppers than its Women's Deviate Nitro 3 Running Shoes Our experts agree nitrogen-infused foam is the key to keeping it light, so it's no surprise these Puma kicks are one of Sonaike's favorites. They're designed with nitrogen-infused foam midsoles and breathable uppers to make outdoor interval, tempo or long runs this summer a true walk in the park. Puma Men's Deviate Nitro 3 Running Shoes While these lightweight running shoes will make you feel like you're floating on clouds, they come at a reasonable price point compared to the competition. Running shoes that feature carbon footplates for more efficient energy return are hard to find for under $200. Brooks Women's Hyperion 2 Road Running Shoes Got a need for speed? Don't sweat it. These Sonaike-endorsed sneakers have you covered this summer. Adding 4 more millimeters of cushioning than their predecessor had helps absorb impact during snappy runs while breathable uppers prevent foot sweats. Brooks Men's Hyperion 2 Road Running Shoes With an average weight of around 200 grams each, these lightweight running shoes help you go the extra mile even in peak summer temperatures, helping you mitigate foot sweat that can contribute to chafing and Women's Clifton 10 Running Shoes The new-and-improved version of these editor-loved shoes is a year-round favorite for a reason. They provide unmatched comfort through impossibly plush midsoles, they fare well during both strength and cardio workouts, and they feature Hoka's signature rocker bottoms for smooth, efficient heel-to-toe transitions. Read our review Hoka Men's Clifton 10 Running Shoes If you're looking for a lightweight pair of running shoes to beat the heat (and personal records), look no further than the Clifton 10, weighing in at just over a pound for the pair. Boasting an additional 3 millimeters of stack height over the previous model, the Clifton 9, you'll experience plush landings and improved Women's Experience Flow Road Running Shoes These aren't your run-of-the-mill lightweight running shoes. Clocking in at around 200 grams per shoe, these Altra runners will keep you feeling both light and dry on your feet. They boast the brand's signature wide toe boxes to accommodate swelling associated with skyrocketing temperatures or any foot deformities. Altra Men's Experience Flow Road Running Shoes The Altra Experience Flow running shoes offer ample breathing room, giving your toes extra room to splay, which helps you stay stable with every step. A low heel-to-toe drop creates a barefoot feel — perfect for enhancing your stride if you experience Women's Cloud X 4 AD Training Shoes Clocking in at a featherlight 220 grams per shoe, these plush On Cloud X 4 AD shoes will have you floating on a cloud. Their allure lies in their elasticated laces that don't require tying, so you can race out the door for your next run or outdoor HIIT class. On Men's Cloud X 4 AD Training Shoes In these light and breathable running shoes, engineered mesh uppers keep feet cool and dry while roomy toe boxes help account for foot swelling. Plus, their signature pillowy CloudTec will keep you comfortable even in grueling Women's Endorphin Pro 4 Running Shoes At just 185 grams per women's shoe and 212 grams per men's, you'll wonder if you're wearing anything at all in the Endorphin Pro 4 — and that's exactly what you want when additional layers feel cumbersome under the sun. Saucony Men's Endorphin Pro 4 Running Shoes Thanks to their carbon plates, speeding through personal records will feel like child's play in these lightweight running shoes. Integrated tongues and heel liners help prevent chafing and foam-heavy midsoles provide unparalleled responsiveness without contributing to extra weight. Weight When looking for the best lightweight shoes, it helps to identify a specific weight range to reduce bulk and improve comfort during hot weather. 'I consider a running shoe to be lightweight if it's less than or around half a pound (225 to 250 grams),' Nirenberg said. Breathability Sweaty feet can ruin a successful workout during the summer. Ensure your comfort (while warding off related conditions like athlete's foot) by opting for breathable fabrics. 'Materials for lightweight running shoes have become quite advanced now, and you should look for a shoe with fabrics engineered to allow for better airflow in order to help keep your feet cool during long runs,' Nirenberg said. Mesh and lightweight knit materials are popular choices to reduce perspiration while you work out. Durable uppers Your lightweight shoes for training shouldn't be flimsy but, instead, boast firm uppers, according to Sonaike. 'This will give stability regardless of the thickness of the sole,' she said. Cushioning For comfort and podiatric health, cushioning for shock absorption is your best friend when it comes to lightweight running shoes, according to Nirenberg. 'New foam technologies are now being implemented into running shoes,' he said. 'Look for a shoe with lightweight foam cushioning that can reduce the impact, which is especially important for runners who are heel strikers.' Structure Don't sacrifice structure for light weight. Sonaike said the shoe shouldn't bend easily in half. 'It should have some midfoot structure and should bend mostly at the toes,' she said. The following FAQs have been answered by podiatrists Dr. Michael Nirenberg and Dr. Adenike Sonaike. What are lightweight running shoes best for? What are lightweight running shoes best for? Lightweight running shoes are best for speed training or fast-paced workouts like sprinting or interval training, Nirenberg said. They're also suitable for long-distance walks in warm climates, according to Sonaike. Do lightweight running shoes have comfortable cushioning?

What time of year is the best to wear lightweight running shoes? What time of year is the best to wear lightweight running shoes? Lightweight running shoes fare best in hot and humid weather since they help keep feet dry, according to Nirenberg. If you decide to wear them year-round, be sure to assess the treads of the shoes for slip resistance as well as the upper fabric knit for warmth during winter months, Sonaike said.
