#8: Stay clashy
Sandler never likes to keep things simple. For the 58-year-old actor, it’s all about big, bold colours and weird patterns. And while most guys would wear all of these things separately, this is Adam Sandler we’re talking about here.
Horizontal stripes and polka dots live in the same universe. Basketball jerseys and floral print shorts go together. Golf polos and Off-White joggers are made for each other. And neon green puffers and maroon chinos? Yeah, for Sandler, that’s a match made in menswear heaven.
#9: Buy a couple of everything
In our guide on dressing in your 20s, one of the main things that you should take away from it is that you should buy as many essentials as you can. For example, if you get Sunspel socks or underwear from Uniqlo and it fits well and feels great, there’s no harm in throwing a few of them in your basket. Because who knows when they might sell out or go out of stock forever? And Sandler agrees.
Back in August of this year, Mystery Fashionist uploaded a video on TikTok that went real viral, real quick. In the interview that’s just over a minute long, he asks the comedian for some style tips, to which he replies, “I think I’ve got a bunch of the same socks. The underwear’s kinda similar too.” If it feels right, then it probably is.
#10: Wear what you want to wear
In the same interview that’s got over two million views (and counting), the TikToker asks, “How do you do this? Do you have a specific style? Because you always wear whatever you want to wear, and you never go based on the rules.” To which Sandler replies, “Whatever’s in the closet, I grab it, I don’t think about it much. Most people make fun of me… but I keep moving.”
And while that way of thinking sounds a little chaotic, it also makes a lot of sense. Life’s too short to worry about all of that. You should be able to wear whatever brands you want. You should be able to wear whatever colours you want. And if people disagree, fuck ’em. Like Adam Sandler, just keep moving.
