Looking effortlessly chic and casual, the dad hat is the perfect spring accessory for any outfit. Paparazzi everywhere have recently been capturing stars from Rihanna to supermodel Gigi Hadid, and even our president, Barrack Obama, rocking the dad hat all over town. With various styles, colors, and brands to choose from, it’ll be easy to trade in your knit winter beanie for a dad hat this spring.
