Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) is the perpetually optimistic and highly-driven civil servant who anchors her co-workers and friends on Parks and Recreation.  Leslie’s dedication to her job inspires others, even her Libertarian co-worker and friend Ron Swanson, to do their best for their community.  Leslie aspires to be President one day and typically wears sensible pants suits while working at the parks department in Pawnee, IN.  For a true Leslie Knope look, you’ll also need a relentlessly positive go-getter attitude and a binder full of ideas (or maybe just Leslie’s thoroughly researched book “Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America”).

Tom Haverford (played by Aziz Ansari) is a member of the Pawnee, Indiana parks and recreation department along with April, Leslie, and Ron.  He also considers himself a multimedia mogul and entrepreneur.  Though Tom’s personality can be abrasive and over-the-top at times, he reveals himself to be a good businessmen, and an even better friend.  Tom’s clothing is always fashionable and sometimes outlandish, making him the perfect character to emulate if you are looking to show off your unique sense of style or you have a penchant for coordinating pocket squares.

Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms) is a Dunder Mifflin employee from The Office who transfers from Stamford to Scranton with Jim when the branches are merged together.  Andy often refers to his time at Cornell University, and especially his involvement with a college a cappella group.  Andy has anger management issues which he takes classes for, and he is also romantically involved with both Angela and Erin at different times.  Andy often wears pastel colors, sweater vests, and bow ties.

Andy Dwyer (played by Chris Pratt) is a lovable goofball on Parks and Recreation.  He is also the frontman of local band Mouserat and husband of April Ludgate.  Though he wears many unique outfits throughout the series, he has a yellow short sleeved button down that pops up multiple times.  When he and April roleplay as Janet Snakehole and Burt Macklin, Andy transforms into the renegade FBI agent by donning a blue jacket and brown aviators.

In the Office, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) adopts the persona of Prison Mike when he wants to shock people about the tough conditions of prison life. As he tells it, the prison food is nothing but gruel, but by far the worst thing about prison was the Dementors.

Ron Swanson is a macho, meat-loving government employee who works for the Parks and Recreation Department in Pawnee, Indiana. This manly man loves anything to do with bacon, eggs or steak, and is a fan of what the locals refer to as the “Meat Tornado”. Ron also enjoys woodworking and playing the sax as his alter ego, Duke Silver.

Pam Beesly is Dunder Mifflin’s receptionist-turned-office-manager-but-really-an-artist. Little did she know that she’d fall in love, find a best friend, and gain an extended family at her “boring” office job.

Party Down is a catering company made up of wannabe Hollywood actors and writers, including Henry Pollard (Adam Scott), Casey Klein (Lizzy Caplan), Kyle Bradway (Ryan Hansen), Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch), and Roman DeBeers (Martin Starr). They’re managed by the straight-laced Ron Donald (Ken Marino), who dreams of someday opening his own Soup R’ Crackers franchise.
