We’ve seen a major resurgence in dad-themed fashion over the past few years – remember the dad shorts and dad sandals everyone was obsessed with? – so it should come as no surprise to learn that another ugly-chic essential has entered the chat. We’re talking about: the dad jacket!
The dad jacket is typically oversized, a little unflattering, sometimes even distressed; it’s basically something your father might wear on a weekend grocery run, and something fashionistas wouldn’t have been caught dead in a decade ago. But now it’s totally en-vogue, and has the A-listers’ seal of approval!
The trend popped up in a big way on the Saint Laurent FROW during Paris Fashion Week last month, although style-savvy celebs like Kendall Jenner were ahead of the curve by trying it many, many years before. Take a look at how some of the biggest names from Hailey Bieber to Zoë Kravitz and are rocking the look below…

Hailey Bieber
The mom-of-one turned heads at Saint Laurent in a cropped windbreaker in a mustard yellow shade, complete with orange patchwork sleeves.
Although the rest of her outfit was on the sexier side – sheer tights, red heels, and a yellow satin pair of shorts with lace trim – it was the 28-year-old Victoria's Secret model's dad jacket that garnered the most attention!
Charli XCX
Charli XCX followed in Mrs. Bieber's footsteps and wore pink lace-trimmed shorts along with her own dad jacket, in a matching red, pink, and blue colorway.
The 33-year-old "365" singer accessorized with black stilettos, a covetable black Saint Laurent bag, and dark black sunnies. Perhaps the trick to nailing the dad jacket trend in 2025 is to balance its deliberate 'ugliness' with something super sexy and polished, just as Hailey and Charli have done!
Zoë Kravitz
The Blink Twice actress, 36, went in a slightly different direction with her outerwear at the Saint Laurent show, proving there's more than one way to embrace this controversial dad jacket trend.
She opted for a more understated version of the windbreaker and chose a muted light tan shade instead. It's effortlessly chic, versatile, and absolutely perfect for fall; and we're obsessed!

Kendall Jenner
If it's oversized, vintage-inspired, and a little distressed, it counts as a dad jacket – and the 29-year-old 818 Tequila founder was wearing hers long before the other three ladies!
Kendall sported her vintage dad jacket on an episode of The Kardashians back in 2023, and was already rocking another dad-style bomber as far back as 2019, once again proving that she is the ultimate trend-setter!
