Trend goes in circles, and proper now we’re nonetheless within the midst of a Y2K revival. Take, for instance, Heartstopper star Package Connor, whose fashion appears to have honed in on a golden, pre-Instagram age when cinemas have been at all times packed and action-movie stars dominated the display screen of their macho cool-guy matches.
This week, Connor headed to the In the present day Present to advertise his Broadway debut reverse West Aspect Story‘s Rachel Zegler in Romeo + Juliet. (Connor, after all, performs Romeo.) The actor spiked up his hair a bit of for the event, accessorizing with a pair of darkish Jacques Marie Mage shades full with gold racing stripes on the perimeters. Thus far, so noughties.

For the remainder of the match, Connor (who has been working with Paul Mescal‘s stylist, Felicity Kay) slipped on a chocolate-brown tank prime from Ami Paris with matching darkish trousers. Not like the mega-baggy pants he wore a number of days in the past, these have been center-creased and properly tailor-made, and their hems sat neatly on prime of his Jimmy Choo lace-ups. On prime, he layered over a boxy blue Ami shirt that flowed open—giving off Miami-beach-lord vibes, however in Manhattan.
It is maybe a subtler technique to do the entire Y2K factor with out having a Man Fieri shirt available. The important thing right here is silhouette, as a result of the classics work simply as properly in XL mode—and the entire baggy-oversized look is not going wherever anytime quickly. At the latest fall reveals, Ami was in full boxy mode, Dries Van Noten dropped some very large trousers, and JW Anderson—a Package Connor favourite—dropped some sloping mottled wool polo shirts.
It helps that the Heartstopper star is totally jacked, which lends itself to pulling off the entire big-action-movie-star look. Now, all he wants is an enormous pyrotechnical set piece and a really quotable catchphrase.
