A video featuring Adam Sandler talking about his fashion choices has taken the internet by storm, with fans applauding his down-to-earth personality.
In 2021, Vogue honored the beloved star of 50 First Dates as that year’s “Fashion Icon,” leading to the emergence of the “Sandlercore” fashion movement. His relaxed style, often characterized by basketball shorts and oversized polos, has gained a cult following among younger fans.
Recently, Sandler provided a glimpse into his wardrobe during an interview with fashion influencer Mystery Fashionist on TikTok, where he sported a navy Fila windbreaker, matching blue shorts, a casual polo, and mismatched sneakers with high socks.
The video has gone viral, racking up over 5 million views on TikTok and an astonishing 11 million views after being shared on X (formerly Twitter). You can check out the video here.
While chatting with the TikToker, Sandler was asked if he’s always rocking that “drip,” a slang term for stylish looks. He humorously admitted, “It just happens, I didn’t really think it through,” while gesturing to his outfit. “Not much thought” goes into his fashion choices, he explained.
Sandler shared, “Whatever’s in the closet, I grab it. Most people in my family make fun of me, but I keep rolling with it.” When asked about his essential fashion items, he mentioned comfy socks his wife buys for him, well-fitting sneakers, and the casual, slightly goofy shirts and shorts he loves.
Online reactions to the video have been overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating Sandler’s authenticity. Comments like “He’s just so genuine, love him,” and “The most down-to-earth celebrity out there,” underscore his appeal.
This fashion moment comes on the heels of Sandler addressing his influence at the premiere of his new standup special, Love You, where he acknowledged the accidental fashion trend he’s inspired. He reminisced about wearing crop tops in his youth and commented on the comfort of today’s outfits, saying, “That sounds like a good outfit.”
