Is Timothée Chalamet The Ultimate Athleisure Influencer?

It is no secret that Timothée Chalamet loves a baseball cap. An avid wearer of various peaked styles that still allow his cherubic mane to peep through, the actor has deemed it an essential wardrobe staple. Worn like a badge of honour, his caps speak volumes (he supports Chelsea FC, for instance, according to a style worn in London back in March).

The fashion aficionado often favours a casual dress code, curated with effortless ease to minimise any risk of appearing slobbish. Take his latest colour-coordinated athleisure look: he was seen donning a McDonald’s-esque palette of red, yellow, black and white while roaming the streets of New York, one hand clutching a coffee. High-fashion credentials upped the anti on his off-duty look, comprised of a colour block Burberry track jacket, a sunshine-yellow sweater, loose joggers, New Balance trainers and a Nike cap. 

A week earlier, Chalamet debuted his winning style formula on Instagram. His 10 million followers were treated to a selfie from the star, who has recently used his feed to promote his upcoming film Dune, in which he plays the lead role of Paul Atreides. Brilliantly normcore and blasé, he snapped himself in front of a door, donning a cap and a mask that was pulled-down to show his face – to wild enthusiasm from his Call Me By Your Name co-star Armie Hammer, who commented “OoOOOoOoooo KING SHIT!!!” followed by a flurry of emojis.

Plentiful coffee runs have served as opportunities for Chalamet to flaunt his hypebeast-approved arsenal of labels. His formalwear, too, embodies a similarly relaxed approach. For the Oscars earlier this year, he topped best dressed lists with his Prada zip-up tracksuit-tuxedo hybrid, fashioned from the Italian brand’s entirely sustainable Re-Nylon material.

Safe to say, any guilt you may feel from slipping into your sweatpants can be well and truly eradicated thanks to Timothée’s ongoing encouragement. Baseball caps at the ready.
