Speaking to People at the recent premiere for his upcoming Love You comedy special on Netflix, Adam was asked if he knew he was a style icon.

"You know, this is an accidental thing but here I am wearing goofy clothes and...I don't know. I don't think about it but I appreciate you sayin' that," he told People in the viral clip that now has over 2 million views.

If you live under a bridge, Adam is known for wearing busy-print collared shirts and long athletic shorts with sneakers to just about anything:

His look is always the same, and, surprisingly in line with today's Gen Z fashion trends, he never wears ankle socks:

Even when he's likely forced to wear a suit, he still makes sure his feet are comfy in sneakers:

Anyway, you get it. He's just Adam, not Ken:

And he's become a fashion icon for Gen Z'ers on social media over the last year. Here's a viral TikTok jingle about it. (It's hilarious, and I highly recommend you watch it.)

Speaking about his fashion last year on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Adam said, "[I'm] just a man who opened a suitcase and threw something on. My kids are mad at me about it. Every day I am sorry for the way I dress," he laughed.

So, after acknowledging his fashion icon status, People then asked Adam if he knew about the current "Madame Sandler" trend where Gen Z'ers wear long shorts and small crop tops.

Essentially, "Madame Sandler" IS Adam Sandler. The essence of who he is paired with his appreciated outfit choices:

His reaction was, of course, a genuine Adam Sandler laugh.

"A crop top I used to wear when I was young. I used to wear the half-shirt. Now, it would not be great for anybody. I get it, comfortable — that sounds like a good outfit," he said.

And believe his style is its own fashion genre:
