TV shows have recently become a key source of sartorial inspiration. The Bear, however, a show about culinary endeavours, mainly those of a frenetic young chef and an equally chaotic kitchen, might have been the least likely series to stir up fashion inspo. So what is it about the wardrobe choices of The Bear that has us so captivated? All it takes is one search on Reddit or a scroll on TikTok to see the thousands of fans, deeply engrossed in the excellent style choices of the show's characters.
Mastering that effortlessly wearable aesthetic The Bear, which is back on Dinsey+ from Wednesday 19 July, blends style choices realistic enough that it never feels about the clothes, but interesting enough that you still take note—the sort of cool personal style so many of us try in vain to recreate in our everyday wardrobes. Whether it’s the perfectly cut crew neck tees worn by protagonist Carmy, that spawned a literal viral search or the introduction of the Birkenstock style that's now giving the Boston revival a run for its money, it’s clear the style influence of The Bear goes beyond just simple aesthetics.
Of course, we’d be naive to say that the universal appeal of Jeremy Allen White hasn’t played any part in enhancing these ultimately, very wearable looks. But we’re still convinced the style choices of The Bear would stand alone. Keen to recreate the look for yourself? Below we’ve rounded up a handful of pieces inspired by the show. From selvedge denim to classic Carhartt work pants and perhaps the most practical and comfortable pair of Birk’s you’ll ever wear, keep reading below for 11 pieces perfect for recreating The Bear’s artfully wearable style.
