Jun 30, 2023 by apost team

With over three decades in Hollywood, it is safe to say that Adam Sandler is an icon in his own right, but his sense of style has never conformed to the unspoken rules of being in the spotlight. When you think of Adam Sandler, you think of casual and comfortable clothes. This even extends to how he appears at star-studded events and red carpets. Sandler's relaxed approach to fashion transcends his personal life away from work. 

With an impressive comedy career that boasts three decades and counting, Sandler has made a name for himself and is here to stay. Born Adam Richard Sandler, the movie star's earliest gig in film and television dates back to 1987 when he played a small role on "The Cosby Show." He had his film debut on 1989's "Going Overboard" before diving into stand-up comedy in clubs. At 17, the Hustle star was hired as a writer on "Saturday Night Live."

After his exit from SNL in 1995, Sandler became more involved on the big screen as he appeared in successful movies like "The Wedding Singer," "The Waterboy," and "Happy Gilmore" among others. In all the years Sandler dedicated to his craft, he has been the recipient of several accolades and recognitions, including three Grammy awards, five Primetime Emmys, a SAG award, and a Golden Globe award, among others. 

Sandler's award-winning regular guy movie roles are pretty reminiscent of his real life. Married to Jackie Sandler, he is a down-to-earth dad to two girls, Sadie and Sunny. Above his many achievements, he holds parenthood in the highest esteem. The Hollywood star is a hands-on parent who spends quality time with his daughters. 

One way Sandler enjoys spending time with his daughters is when he does lunch with them. He once revealed to the Huffington Post that his daughters' school allowed parents to come on and have their kids for lunch. Sandler noted that his daughters gave him the most joy, but he admitted to life adjustments due to parenting. 

Sandler revealed that such adjustments included not going out after 9:30 pm and ensuring he had dinner by 6 or 7 pm. From the interview, the actor proved to be the cool dad who makes sure his kids are doing well. His easy-going and down-to-earth lifestyle can also be gleaned from other aspects of his life as well. Fans find him relatable, and one incident that proved this was when he went to IHOP with one of his daughters. 

According to The Things, the hostess in charge did not recognize him, and Sandler did not pull the celebrity card either. She told him he had a 30-minute waiting time, and Sandler left just like anyone would. Sandler, who is known to jump in on Pickup basketball games from time to time, often enjoys sessions with fans. 

According to Mel Magazine, a fan once recalled hanging out at a basketball court when Sandler beckoned on him to join a game. The pair enjoyed a good game session and played three. Sandler being a staunch sports lover, never fails to show this in his clothing choices, even in movies. 

As the Boston Herald once reported, about his movies, "Grown Ups 1 & 2," Sandler wore a "different New England university T-shirt or cap in almost every scene, including swag from BU, Harvard, UMass, Vermont, UConn, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island."

Despite the slew of outstanding achievements, Adam Sandler effortlessly pulls off the regular guy persona thanks to his penchant for loungewear, summer clothing, and graphic tees. In 2022, his long-time casual sense of style became popular among new-age fashion lovers. 

The Adam Sandler core look became a trend on the short-form video platform where Gen Z netizens took part in dress-up sessions where they donned baggy shirts, cargo pants, jackets, track pants, and sneakers. The TikTok Trend, which raked in over 40,000 videos, featured 

content creators impersonating Sandler and using his one-liner from Jessie as the sound. 

According to Highsnobiety, Sandler's age-long regular looks proved to be recognized when he topped celebrity fashion Google searches in 2021 and 2022. Fans are not the only ones who have noticed Sandler's laid-back looks. In fact, he had his pal and fellow star Jennifer Aniston stunned during the premiere of their movie "Murder Mystery 2." 

While Aniston attended the occasion, rocking a silver Versace dress with netted embellishments, Sandler dressed down in a New York Knicks, chino pants, a gray hoodie, and blue sneakers. Speaking to ET, Aniston expressed mock shock noting that she was surprised he appeared in a sweatshirt. 

Sandler has opened up about his style choice while noting the attention he got for it. Per Esquire, the actor revealed that he wanted to be accepted for how he dressed. He shared: 

"It took a while. I have been working that angle for years. For a while, I was like, 'Please accept me and the way I dress.' And 30 years later, they finally came around."

Speaking on how he makes his choice, Sandler noted he often went for XXL outfits, never relying on labels. He noted that he often went for "anything that feels soft."
