For the second year in a row, the love-them or hate-them shoe has returned to bring you a summer of dad-inspired fashion with a '90s nostalgia.&nbsp;

From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/graphic-tshirt-history-band-merch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vintage t-shirts</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cargo-pants-trend-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cargo pants</a>, your dad&rsquo;s style has shockingly started to make its way into the sphere of high fashion trends. This has never been more true than the recently reclaimed <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-dad-sandals-trend-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dad Sandal</a>.

Naturally, following a second summer with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/fashion-beauty-brands-coronavirus-donations-aid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a>, the shoe is returning for a sequel as one of fashion&rsquo;s favorite <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/14-best-flat-sandals-to-shop-now-chanel-dior-prada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summer shoes</a>, and why shouldn&rsquo;t it?
