They say it takes a village to raise a child. And it takes just a child to raze a village, we’d counter. At least, that’s how it seems some mornings, when you arrive at the office following the school run, like Mr Jason Statham emerging from an exploding tanker, knowing that the toughest job you’ll have to do all day is already behind you. Given the formidable task of coaxing your offspring through their morning routine of breakfast, washing, getting dressed and finally out of the door with their reading bags, water bottles and outerwear all present and correct, you could excuse the modern dad for not having the bandwidth to fully consider their own appearance, too. But society doesn’t work like that. Fathers may be taking on an increasing percentage of the parental demands (although still not nearly enough, it should be noted), but ask a mother about the impossible goal of “having it all” and they’ll probably laugh in your face. “As in most areas of life, the mums definitely outshine the dads at our school gates,” says Mr Johnny Davis, style director at Esquire UK. “You still get the tribes with the mums – the fitness fanatic, the immaculately groomed types, the high-flyer in a blazer. Whereas the dads are much more homogenous. New Balance trainers, cagoule, baseball cap, air of ‘where-did-it-all-go-wrong?’” Look, childcare we can’t help you with. And it would be a dereliction of duty to redirect one of our delivery vans via your child’s school for drop off. Style, however – now that’s in our wheelhouse. Here, we’ve enlisted a team of experts and come up with the following tips to ensure you’re the best-dressed man in the playground – and the MVP on the PTA. Now, go get ’em.
