Try wearing blue, black, and white baggy Adidas basketball shorts, a pair of black sunglasses, a light blue Pac-Man T-shirt, red New Balance sneakers and white socks pulled all the way up. Add layers if you’d like—you can always slip a hoodie on top to create a more casual, sporty look.

The Tonight Show 'Fit Sandler once wore this outfit on The Tonight Show, and people have been talking about it ever since. To replicate it, wear 3-striped blue athletic pants, a bright blue crewneck T-shirt, a light gray crewneck sweater, and black Nike basketball shoes with red soles.

Add a fake goatee if you really want to go all-out.

Green Monochrome 'Fit For this throwback outfit, wear a white baseball cap (his has the words “Grown Ups” on it, but yours doesn’t have to), a green T-shirt, oversized green shorts, and a pair of comfortable dark brown moccasin slippers. When wearing oversized clothing, make sure the shoulder seams of your shirts are as close as possible to the high point of your shoulder to make sure it doesn’t look like you’re wearing someone else’s clothes.

If your ears are pierced, pop in a couple of white stud earrings to complete the look. When finding the right belt, choose a size that’s slightly bigger than your waist size.

The Ugg Boot 'Fit Adam Sandler proves that Ugg boots go with everything—for this outfit, try wearing them with a pair of orange and blue Nike shorts, a forest green Columbia fleece jacket, and a white floral Hawaiian print shirt.

Top it all off with a green and white baseball cap and a pair of those iconic black sunglasses.

Complete the look by carrying around a basic blue medical facemask.

NYC Basketball 'Fit Try copying this look that Sandler wore while playing pick-up basketball with Timothée Chalamet in NYC. Throw on a pair of white and blue basketball shorts, a gray T-shirt (his says “Let Me Ask My Wife” on it), white socks, and a pair of colorful orange, blue, black, and white sneakers. Carry around a basketball to really seal the deal.

The Bedtime Stories Red Carpet 'Fit For this throwback red carpet look, Sandler went casual and comfy as always. Wear a baby blue button-up with thin black stripes, a navy blue zip-up hoodie, a pair of light blue scuffed-up jeans, and a pair of black loafers.
