Leveling Up My Dad Style with prAna Cotton Apparel

DoDD Review Disclosure

I can sense that summer will soon be here. The air seems to smell fresher. The grass is green and the flowers are blooming. The sun sets a little bit later each evening. And, I have the urge to get outside and do something fun like taking a trip to the beach with the family.

But, when I pull out last year’s summer duds and put them on my girls literally crack up and roll their eyes. They would really like it if this 42 year old dressed like it was 2018. I have decided to refresh my style and bring myself into the 21st century. The thing is that I have a strong tendency to put comfort before fashion.

My new go-to clothing is made by a company called prAna, especially the newer prAna Cotton Apparel. This clothing line is so comfortable and cool enough that my kids approve. The other thing I like about prAna is that the company is all about sustainably produced clothes.

prAna is passionate about ensuring that the impact they make on the world is mostly confined to their aesthetic. They use materials and manufacturing methods that adhere to strict guidelines for safety and efficacy. The prAna Cotton Apparel is organic, so it feels nice and there are no pesticides or toxins used to grow the cotton.

My Picks for This Summer

Of course, I do need to get the approval from my kids and my wife for what I will be wearing. That’s not a bad thing because they do have more style than this old dad. Here are some of the pieces they approved of me trying on that recently arrived from prAna.

  • The Furrow Short with a blended fabric that includes sustainably grown hemp
  • The prAna Polo with organic cotton
  • The Sutra Short with a drawstring waist that is super comfy
  • The prAna Long Sleeve Hood that is lightweight and definitely fashion forward for me

I feel real good about my selection of new outfits from prAna. I like the philosophy of the company and use that as part of teaching my kids about the environment and humanitarian employment practices. Mostly, I just love that I can look pretty stylish and still be super comfortable.

I don’t think I will be embarrassing my kids at the beach, or anywhere else we go, this summer.

I laid my dad to rest today. Although our relati I laid my dad to rest today. 

Although our relationship has been strained over the past 14 years, he was still my dad.

He instilled values in me that I have carried into adulthood and continue to pass down to my family. 

He showed me how to care for and appreciate my wife in such a way that she knows I love her.

He taught me life lessons that I have been able to teach my own children.

I wish we could have had a more meaningful relationship so that he (and my mom) could have experienced my life, my family, with me, but I’m grateful for the time we had. 

He’ll always be my dad and that seems like enough right now.
Thank you for being my #valentine today, tomorrow Thank you for being my #valentine today, tomorrow and forever!
I Love You! 💕
