Popsugar Fashion Celebrity Fashion Robin Williams Style Was Comedic Genius Robin Williams the Founding Father of Dad Style? An Investigation 21 July 2018 by Fabiola Lara Image Source: Getty In celebration of the late, great Robin Williams, join me in this investigation. I have found photographic proof that leads me to believe Robin Williams is the father of what we now commonly refer to as "Dad Style." While scrolling through the Internet, I was thrilled to discover photo evidence of a very fashionable Mr. Williams. From chunky sneakers to BAPE button-ups, it's all truly giving me Instagram Hypebeast vibes. Am I saying Robin Williams would've waited in a Supreme line? Absolutely not, but he might've worn a signature box-logo tee or five-panel cap from time-to-time. Swipe through these photos and decide for yourself! Regardless, we'll always remember Robin Williams as a man who was way ahead of his time.

All he's missing are some tiny coloured sunglasses! 2 / 12 Exhibit B: Robin Williams in Full Flame-Tones Image Source: Getty / KMazur Serving us extreme Guy Fieri/Smash Mouth singer meets your local skater-boy vibes. This unidentifiable 1999 flame button-up offsets his otherwise tame khaki cargo pants. Clearly an excellent outfit choice by Williams. 3 / 12 Exhibit C: Robin Williams Possibly in A Fanny Pack Image Source: Getty I can neither confirm nor deny that that's a crossbody fanny pack. 4 / 12 Exhibit D: Robin Williams In a Chrome Industries Messenger Bag Image Source: Getty / Bryan Bedder Here's Robin William leaving Ed Sullivan Theatre after taping The Late Show with David Letterman, wearing a busy graphic print windbreaker and a Chrome Industries messenger bag over his suit!

The oversize graphic tee with matching cargo shorts and the chunky muted tennis shoes with the high-rise sock are so sick. I wish I could snag a pair of those sneakers right now. 10 / 12 Exhibit J: Robin Williams In A Bucket Hat!
