Hot off his gonzo press tour for the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet is currently cooling his heels in Los Angeles—which, as a proverbial industry city, seems as good a place as any to wait out the limbo between now and the impending 97th Academy Awards ceremony on March 2. The actor is nominated for his performance as an early-career Dylan, an undertaking that spanned the past five-plus years of his life and also seemingly left a sizable imprint on his own personal taste in music and hijinks, among other things. In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, Chalamet suggested if he were to ever meet the real Bob Dylan, he might “try to out-Bob him, just strangely not bring anything up. Maybe just talk about the weather or what his favorite sandwich is. Something like that.”

Even during this brief respite from the final weeks of awards season, Chalamet is still up to his usual post-swag fashion trickery. During a lunchtime pitstop at the LA sandwich joint Monroe Place on Wednesday, the actor wore his usual assemblage of namebrand streetwear. He layered a navy Dickies zip-up hoodie over a logo tee from Mowalola, the eponymous brand by British-Nigerian designer—and former Ye collaborator—Mowalola Ogunlesi. He accessorized with dark Celine sunglasses, a pearl-beaded charm necklace, and a blue-green pair of Kiko Kostadinov-designed Asics sneakers (specifically, the UB6-S GT 2160 ‘Arctic Blue Carbon’), and what seems to be a new addition to the actor’s extensive collection of niche–logo baseball caps: a dad hat embroidered with the logo of his next big project, the upcoming Josh Safdie-directed flick Marty Supreme.

The real culprit of his sartorial tomfoolery, though, was his pair of deceptively geeky khaki cargo pants. Even his casual off-duty cargos hail from True Religion, the nostalgic 2000s-era brand that has also provided several of Chalamet’s most notable ensembles as of late. Timmy was already a noted fan of cargo shorts, especially if they’re made by Supreme or Nike’s gorp-y sub-label ACG. He also memorably wore camouflage cargos for his role as the stringy-haired, Twitch-streaming space cadet Yule in the Netflix doomsday comedy Don’t Look Up. But right now, as a top-condending Oscar nominee, Chalamet is at the peak of his influence. Can he, like his stylist-mate Kendrick Lamar did with flared jeans at the Super Bowl, make uncool pants cool again? Watch this space.
