Jeremy Allen White should be in the middle of your menswear moodboard right now. Yes, because he plays a hot chef on TV’s hottest show, and yes, because he bared almost all in the year’s hottest Calvin Klein campaign. But also because every guy on the planet can pull off his latest fit and fly with it.
Spotted on the streets of Los Angeles (not at a farmer’s market this time), White had this whole baggy fit thing on lock. Up top, he wore a white cotton shirt with the top two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up, left untucked for a super casual vibe. It’s the same story down south, too, with a pair of loose-fitting, light-wash jeans.

And while everything is a lot looser than the tight T-shirts he’s made famous on The Bear, White isn’t drowning in his clothes. The cut of his shirt still has some structure, and while his jeans are definitely on the bigger side, they’re the perfect length to show off his fave sneakers of all-time: the Nike Cortez.
But that’s not to say that all slouchy fits need to be kept in check. Take Justin Bieber, for example. His entire wardrobe is obviously two or three (or four) sizes too big for him, but he keeps it consistent. He’s not pairing a 9XL leather jacket with slim-cut trousers. That would be wrong! Instead, he’s going all-in with the enormous proportions, and that just works too (albeit on the freakier side of the menswear scale).
But if you want to emulate a more solid, wearable rotation from Jeremy Allen White, repeat after him: White shirt. Solid jeans. Classic sneakers. You’ve got this, buddy.
