admin Ever since returning to his hometown of New York City last week, Timothée Chalamet has been out and about in some of his most Timothée Chalamet-esque outfits in years. Which is to say: He’s been on a real post-swag heater.
He’s revived the past-their-prime Converse x Commes de Garçons “heart eyes” high-tops. He’s worn Supreme cargo sweatshorts and Trae Young sneakers to play pickup basketball with Adam Sandler. Now, he’s demonstrated the most chaotic way to wear a Canadian tuxedo and a beanie—in the dead of summer, no less. On Tuesday, the actor went for a stroll in Manhattan with his movement coach Polly Bennett and dialect coach Tim Monich for A Complete Unknown, the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic; he was wearing, fittingly enough, a Bob Dylan T-shirt. The rest of his outfit, however, doesn’t make as much sense: Over the tee he layered a faded denim jacket and matching bootcut jeans from Courrèges, which he paired with glitter-flecked Saint Laurent cat-eye glasses and cannage-print Dior shoes. The kooky cherry on top—also from Kim Jones’s latest Dior menswear collection—was a couture crochet beanie with a tulle-trimmed opening at the top, through which Timmy’s curls protruded.

Wearing an open-top floral Dior stocking cap with the roof down like it’s a Murcielago? Now that’s peak post-swag.
Amid the current SAG-AFTRA/WGA strike, Chalamet is presumably still trying to keep his Dylan persona sharp for when production on A Complete Unknown resumes. With this look, some on Twitter wondered if Timmy was somehow channeling the real-life Bob Dylan’s brief bangs-and-beanie phase, as seen when the musician attended the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. There’s a slight “bohemian chapeau” air to the whole thing.
