Adam Sandler, Hollywood’s ultimate dad dresser, doles out fashion advice

There’s dadcore, and then there’s Adam Sandler core. And while there is a family resemblance, the two should not be confused.

Dadcore is a fashion trend that prioritizes functional, casual and gently tongue-in-cheek clothing pieces over overtly high-fashion garments. It’s Cole Sprouse in a JW Anderson baseball cap and a blazer; or A$AP Rocky pairing a tie and shirt with jeans. In the dadcore bible — which borrows heavily from menswear trends of the ’80s and ‘90s — comfort may be king, but the sensible sartorial approach is never without thought or style.

Sandler meanwhile, despite earlier this week being spotted with a shopping bag from quiet luxury label Khaite, is mostly just doing Dad: His Fila jacket, basketball shorts and calve-high socks are disarmingly sincere, not ironic.

Yet in a TikTok video posted Monday, the actor and comedian was still asked to dish out his own style advice. “Adam, always got that drip,” says a TikToker who goes by the name “Mystery Fashionist” in the video that has garnered more than 12 million views and more than 2 million likes.

“It just happened, I really didn’t think it through,” Sandler replies. “There’s sneakers, there’s some goofy shorts.” It’s clear the actor — whose eclectic taste has earned him a loyal Gen Z fanbase, with many chronicling their favorite examples of his outfits on TikTok — is authentically unbothered about his newfound fashion credentials. “Whatever is in the closet, I grab it,” he says.

“I think I got a bunch of the same socks, underwear’s kinda similar too. I grab it, I don’t think about it much. Most people make fun of me and my family, but I keep moving,” Sandler adds with a chuckle.

Still, pressed for the five fashion pieces he can’t live without, Sandler replies, “Sometimes my wife gives me nice socks that I throw on — you know, I got my kids on them and stuff.”

Moving onto his color-clashing footwear, Sandler lists his top priority: “Sneakers that fit,” he says. “It don’t matter if they’re dirty or not, as long as they’re fitting and not hurting.” A key dadcore maxim.

Many viewers responded to the video by commenting on how “humble” and “down to earth” Sandler comes across, despite his celebrity status.

“He’s just a normal middle aged dad,” wrote one TikTok user. “Grabs anything from the wardrobe, doesn’t care what it looks like as long as it’s comfy. I love him.”

“He reminds me of my dad lol,” wrote another user.
