Earlier this year, Timothée Chalamet was spotted wearing Bob Dylan’s signature leather jacket and Western boots while filming the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic. But now, the actor is working on his next big Hollywood project — and with it, he has a whole new range of characters to play. Chalamet was spotted in New York this week shooting Josh Safdie’s upcoming film Marty Supreme, in which the star plays a 1950s table tennis player. I couldn’t take my eyes off his impeccably smooth, vintage-chic suits. They’re my inspiration for fall fashion.
The smart, buttoned-up looks worn by Chalamet in the show are a far cry from his off-duty personal style. In many ways, they were new territory for me, too. The costumes in the film completely adhere to the strict tailoring of the 1950s, when men wore three-piece suits to run errands or go to the post office. While the costumes reference past eras, the high-waisted pleated pants, voluminous blazers, navy sweater vests and wide-collared dress shirts feel very modern — especially as brands like Phoebe Philo and The Row maintain a lazy, casual style.
Let’s analyze some beautiful dresses.
One of the first outfits we see is Chalamet wearing a wide-collared shirt and pleated wide pants with a navy sweater vest. This type of structured pant is very popular in the fashion world right now (The Row has a great pair this season). Wear with brown braided leather boots and silver-rimmed glasses for an incredibly eye-catching look.
The same goes for Chalamet’s brown double-breasted suit, which is the perfect size. (Loose-fitting suits have become another recent fashion trend; brands like Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent are dominating the look this season.) Chalamet matched the tones with a classic white shirt and sky-blue tie. It totally inspired me to go the extra mile and commit to dressing up at the office this fall; XXL feels cooler and more effortless;
However, Chalamet’s most tasteful outfit to date saw him wearing a sophisticated black overcoat, a shirt, tie, pleated dress pants and playful little red leather gloves. (Are you kidding me with that little pop of color?) There’s something sexy about it. The tie, driving gloves and briefcase look outdated, like dusty staples of the 1950s, but Chalamet’s clothes justified their revival in the present tense. You can’t deny that the smart, business-like aesthetic looks good. Inspired by his film costumes, maybe fall 2024 will be the season where I shape my career and style — or, at least, I can look like the character.
