A yr in the past, the actor Daniel Day-Lewis made his first public look in years and appeared—as he’s tended to all through his chameleonic profession—like a wholly new model of himself. Sporting a zip-up hoodie, pale yellow skate pants, and a trucker hat from the Japanese moto model Yoshimura, the three-time Oscar winner extra carefully resembled streetwear imp Timothée Chalamet than the stoic workwear god we’d come to lionize round these components.
And although Day-Lewis could also be retired from the craft of appearing, his decades-long dedication to eclectic clothes persists. By final fall, he’d returned to his workwear roots, carrying a turquoise bolo tie and a Kaptial denim jacket to an occasion in October after which, a number of weeks later, a printed Howler Brothers snap-button shirt and an excellent pair of blue denims on a stroll with Bradley Cooper in New York Metropolis. In January, he went full Carhartt in a beat-up Detroit jacket and matching khaki double-knees; not lengthy after, he dressed up his velvet swimsuit with rugged Western equipment and steel-toed work boots.
Day-Lewis—who simply celebrated his 67th birthday this week—reappeared in Manhattan sporting a seasonally acceptable, however nonetheless characteristically jagged, getup: a Carhartt WIP short-sleeve navy work shirt and almost matching navy work pants (at first look, it seems like he’s carrying a full boilersuit) with Nicks leather-based work boots, darkish shades, and a yellow printed kerchief tied round his neck. His quick sleeves revealed his armfuls of intriguing tattoos—my private favourite is a winding mermaid—in addition to an embellished silver bracelet and a silver Rolex Explorer. And although he’s since shorn the chin-length silver curls he was rocking final spring, DDL’s nonetheless rolling with the identical Yoshimura trucker cap.
As winter’s chill thaws, a Carhartt buff blooms in Manhattan. The cycle begins anew.
