The 2020 American sports comedy series, which streams on Apple TV+, started out as a set of satirical promos of the English Premier League for NBC’s Sports coverage. Ted Lasso, the eponymously named series, follows the journey of the American football coach when he joins English soccer team AFC Richmond as their new manager, despite not having any relevant experience. Although he’s brought in by the owner to spite her ex-husband and destroy the team, his optimistic demeanor starts to win over the clubs players and fans.

To get the preppy look of the kind and compassionate, if inexperienced coach for your Ted Lasso costume start by getting a light blue long sleeved button up shirt and a navy blue v-neck sweater. Wear your shirt with the top button undone and the navy pullover on top. Don’t forget to have the sleeve cuffs of your shirt turned over the sleeve of your sweater then rolled up to your elbows, before adding a pair of khaki straight leg trousers to your look.  

 As manager of an English Premier League soccer team, Lasso’s typical coaching uniform also includes a pair of red and white Nike sneakers and an olive green backpack. Along with a silver whistle on a cord around his neck.

According to the show’s hair and make-up stylist Nicky Austin, in this US magazine article, the most important part of styling the football manager is getting his mustache right. Actor Jason Sudeikis grows his own for the role, but when it comes to your Ted Lasso costume going with a fake mustache will probably be easier. You should be able to purchase one online, that is dark brown and bushy like Teds to really complete your look.
