I took my first flight with mom and dad when I was 18 weeks old. Since then I’ve been on over 20 flights and have dipped my toe into the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean and Caribbean sea.

Since we travel so much, my dad needs comfortable clothes that are also stylish (to keep up with my fashionable mom). Jersey blazers and pants with a relaxed striped linen t-shirt do the trick. Perfect for when we’re on long plane rides and smart enough for a European dinner out.

Gotta go!

My dad doesn’t have to wear a suit for work since he’s doing fun things on his computer (that I’m not allowed to touch). But he does let me play with lots of Star Trek toys and we even have matching uniforms.

He does get to wear fun dress up clothes when he’s going out to meet clients, events or date night with mom. I like that he wears fun blazers, shirts with no ties and dark denim for geek chic style.

We love it when we get our own date night with dad. We get dressed up and love it when he gets dressed up for us too. Our favorite places to go are Snakes and Lattes or Queen Margherita Pizza. If we’re good he’ll even take us out shopping!

We love colour and love our dad in color too, he looks handsome.
