Untuckit Shirt

Created by a regular dude who was also totally dissatisfied with the odd length of men’s button-down shirts, the brand has somehow created the perfect shirt for dads—in dozens of patterns and materials (we really love the wrinkle-free, sweat-wicking performance material! ), the shirts aren’t too short, aren’t too long—nope, they’re just right in length. Read: They don’t need to be tucked in but they’re also long enough that they’re not showing off dad’s ripped abs (!) every time he raises his arms.
