ABOUT TEDDY THE HANDYMAN:

Teddy is Bob’s loyal (and often overly attached) friend, the resident handyman of Bob’s Burgers, and a man with a heart as big as his appetite. Though his home repair skills are questionable and his social life a bit of a mess, Teddy’s enthusiasm and kindness make him one of the show’s most lovable characters. This easygoing costume is instantly recognizable, hilarious, and perfect for fans of the Belcher family’s favorite customer.

How To Dress Like Teddy

1. LIGHT BLUE WORK SHIRT – A classic blue button-up or work shirt is the centerpiece of Teddy’s everyday outfit. Roll up the sleeves for that practical, “I’ll fix it!” look.

2. BROWN WORK PANTS – Comfortable, sturdy brown pants fit Teddy’s blue-collar vibe and complete his handyman aesthetic.

3. BROWN BELT – Keep things simple and functional with a plain brown belt to tie the outfit together.

4. WHITE UNDERSHIRT – A clean white undershirt peeking from beneath his work shirt adds the right layered, casual touch.

5. NAVY BEANIE – Teddy is rarely seen without his signature dark blue beanie; it’s his trademark accessory.

6. WORK BOOTS – Sturdy brown work boots give the outfit authenticity (and are great for fixing imaginary restaurant sinks).

7. WRENCH PROP – Carry a wrench or small tool prop to really sell Teddy’s handyman persona, bonus points if you pair it with a big grin.
