Keanu Reeves always manages to dress exactly like Keanu Reeves. That might sound like faint praise, but reliably looking like oneself is, in fact, a skill—one that requires a certain sense of ease that Hollywood’s current crop of style-conscious leading men has yet to quite master. There’s a comfort in the frills-free way that the John Wick star routinely wears his rumpled suits, trusty beanies, and lace-up motorcycle boots. His personal wardrobe is steadily, and spiritually, monochrome.
In Manhattan this week, Reeves wore a sepia-toned variant of his standard uniform: a toast-colored three-button corduroy suit jacket (its sleeves showed a flash of silky red lining) with dark brown straight-leg trousers and his favorite lace-up hiking-style biker boots from the Dutch shoemaker Magellan & Mulloy. He toted a techy Velomacchi motorcycle backpack over his shoulder. (Moto gear has been a constant in the Reeves repertoire for decades.) The actor’s hair appeared to be recently shorn—a floppier, more youthful style than his usual Wickian chin-length shag, but more grown-out than the tidy cut he showed off back in March. His increasingly salt-and-peppery beard looked better than ever.
Funnily enough, given that the sequel film Twisters finally touched down in theaters over the weekend, the outfit looked like a slightly rangier version of the brown suit jacket and lace-up hikers that Reeves wore to the Los Angeles premiere of the original Twister way back in 1996. See? Twenty-eight years later and the man is still that consistent.
