You might think I'm joking by writing an article singing the praises of Jonah Hill's wardrobe of all celebrities out there. But I'm not, and you've found yourself here, so let's get into it. I don't need to tell you that all things dad fashion are legitimately "in" these days; one scroll through any recent street style roundup would exhibit an unmistakable amount of clunky sneakers and a smattering of bucket hats. Fashion girls may be testing the waters here, but no one has embraced "dadcore" at such full force as our man Jonah Hill (except maybe Justin Bieber).

What first started as a few beanies and baseball hats quickly evolved into a full-on Hypebeast-style aesthetic, and before we knew it, the internet just wouldn't shut up about Hill being everyone's favorite unlikely style star. Suddenly he was the subject of countless memes and the inspiration behind the Instagram account @jonahfits, which, as you might have guessed, chronicles his best street style moments. You might be laughing to yourself now, but just wait until you realize you've probably worn an outfit that looks very similar to his. The bucket hat + tie-dye shirt + basketball shorts combo (slide 10) is eerily similar to a Kaia Gerber outfit from this summer, so you do the math.

For the biggest inspiration of dad fashion to date, I present you with the following Jonah Hill outfits. From basketball short to bucket hats, baggy jeans to tropical-print shirts, the man nails it all. Keep reading to see what we mean.

A man of many talents, Jonah is rife with contradictions in his style right here. While his top half is ready for a game of pickup basketball, his bottom half could give a boardroom presentation—that's just how he rolls.

We love this Jonah 'fit because he embraces the dad vibe, but it also screams millennial (note the neon Adidas stripes and Apple AirPods).

Let's get one thing clear: Jonah doesn't just dress like any old dad. He dresses like a cool dad. That baseball cap? It's leather. And his tropical-print shirt? Yeah, it's designer.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you with Jonah Hill in his truest sartorial form. From his signature sneaker style (all dads have a go-to) to his bucket hat (hey, it's practical), this look sums up the entire aesthetic he's curated for himself. Round of applause.

The dad routine is all about comfort and a healthy lifestyle, which Jonah knows full well. Take note! A massive water bottle may be the accessory you didn't know your 'fits needed.

If it ain't broke… Jonah is in a full-blown relationship with tie-dye, and we respect that. This time, he kept it straightforward and wore light-wash jeans and white sneakers with his favorite print.

Probably the best thing about dadcore is that, while aiming for a certain look, it's also just downright practical, as a city boy like Jonah exhibits above for a day of running errands. BTW, if anyone knows where we can get his messenger bag, let us know.

By the time winter rolls around, Jonah's tucked away his leaf-print shirt and wild tie-dye. But make no mistake: The baseball caps, tube socks, and sneakers are all here to stay.

Jonah, keep up the good work.
