Carbon Costume Men
Jared from Booksmart
Jared is a character from the movie Booksmart, and is played by Skyler Gisondo. The comedy film follows best friends Amy and Molly at the end of their senior year, where they attempt to experience things they haven’t in school like partying, but all in one night before graduation.

Under the white tee, wear a black collared striped shirt, and over the top wear a maroon bomber jacket. Pair with two sizes of gold chains and a red key clip on your jeans.

He wears a purple bandana around his neck, obscuring the collars of the shirts.
