Brad Pitt has once again shown that a suit isn’t required to become the best-dressed man at an event. During his arrival at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the actor chose a relaxed yet highly distinctive look, where the main spotlight was on denim on denim, one of the trends making a strong impact this season.
Far from the classic red-carpet ensembles, he selected a vintage-inspired outfit that directly nods to the aesthetics of the 1970s, though reinterpreted with a contemporary flair.
Brad Pitt’s denim look that revives a 1970s trend
The actor wore a medium-wash denim jacket paired with wide-straight leg denim in the same shade, achieving a monochrome total look that feels modern and very easy to replicate.
Underneath, he added a white shirt with fine stripes and a pastel pink tie, an unexpected detail that broke the denim’s casual vibe and brought an elegant and sophisticated touch.
To complete the look, he chose suede boots in a sole-colored shade with buckles, footwear that enhances the outfit’s seventies-inspired vibe and is making a comeback among the major trends in men’s wardrobes.
Sunglasses with lightly tinted lenses and gold bracelets complete the look, reinforcing that relaxed and cool vibe that defines the actor.
The return of “denim on denim”
The combination of jean with jean, known as denim on denim or Canadian tuxedo, is making a strong comeback in international collections and in street style.
The key to updating this trend lies in opting for relaxed silhouettes, similar washes, and accessories that elevate the overall look. In Brad Pitt’s case, the result was a balanced ensemble where retro references coexist with pieces cut in a contemporary style.
Far from appearing dated, full denim proves it remains a versatile and sophisticated choice when worn with attitude.
A relaxed look that sets the trend
In San Sebastián, Brad Pitt made it clear that men’s style also looks to the past to reinvent itself. His commitment to denim on denim, boots with a Western-inspired silhouette, and discreet accessories confirms that the aesthetics of the 1970s remain one of the main sources of inspiration for contemporary fashion.
