In The Big Lebowski, Jeffrey Lebowski (affectionately called “The Dude” by friends and associates) is a slacker whose simple life is turned upside down when he finds himself thrust into a bizarre kidnapping scheme after being confused for a millionaire by the same name. He frantically attempts to escape his unfortunate circumstance with the aid of a few bowling buddies, including Vietnam vet Walter Sobchak, but the mess just keeps getting messier for The Dude.

How to Dress Like Jeffrey Lebowski

Hair:

As a massive slacker, The Dude doesn’t have much time for follicle maintenance. He has a shaggy, never-combed mop on his head and a scraggly beard that is quite befitting one of California’s finest slackers.

Sweater and Clothing:

The key to The Dude’s signature slacker look is his tan-colored cardigan sweater. The cardigan features a geometric pattern in dark brown. Underneath the sweater, Lebowski wears a eggplant purple v-neck t-shirt.

Purple Pajama Pants:

He tops off his slacker chic by wearing a pair of baggy purple pajama pants with a geometric pattern.

Bath Robe:

In one pivotal scene, Lebowski is roaming a grocery store aisle in true slacker style wearing nothing but some shorts and a light brown bath robe. This is a close replica of The Dude’s robe:
