Like his character Carmy on The Bear, Jeremy Allen White is a bit of a menswear enthusiast. The actor’s personal style is fundamentally unfussy—his daily outfits are typically contained to blue jeans, breezy button-up shirts, and his usual worn-to-shreds Mets cap—but as his star has risen, he’s occasionally dipped into the well: a crisp custom Calvin Klein suit at The Bear’s recent season three premiere, a rolled-up beanie and voguish leather bomber jacket on a winter stroll with his maybe-girlfriend, the Spanish singer Rosalía.
