Austin Butler and Jeremy Allen White Are the Best-Dressed Bros in the Bleachers
The bromance is officially underway. Just weeks after it was revealed that two of Hollywood’s buzziest leading men—Austin Butler and Jeremy Allen White—would be facing off in an upcoming A24 movie called Enemies, the costars were spotted taking in a Cubs game together in Chicago, where the film is being produced. And as is their wont, both stars hit the Wrigley Field stands in complementary ensembles of well-worn, low-key staples.
Butler, a known workwear aficionado, wore a sun-faded chore coat over a clean white tee and beat-up khakis. White, meanwhile, rocked a fitted polo shirt tucked into some vintage jeans. All the soft tones of blue and tan worked a charm together. But the true key to both their fits were the truly excellent caps they sported up top.

Neither actor opted to root, root, root for the home team with their headwear. Instead, White threw on the same totally shredded New York Mets cap he’s been wearing for years (including in this very magazine)—a testament to the joy of finding a signature item that works for you and then wearing it into the ground. Butler’s hat was less roughed up, but even more covetable: a rare vintage number from the Texas construction firm Capco Steel, complete with a throwback six-panel silhouette and rope detailing across the brim.
Both caps felt perfectly dialed to their wearers’ understated looks. And with summer officially underway, it’s a good reminder that now—when having a little shade and sun protection at the ready is more important than ever—is the ideal time to get your hat game down pat. They don’t all have to be battered like White’s or niche like Butler’s, but the last thing you want is to get caught out in a hat that looks too unnaturally new or simply out of sync with the rest of your fit.
And if your favorite cap happens to be in sync with your new BFF’s favorite cap? Well, that’s one hell of a bonus.
