Denim jeans, Casual pants and Movie stars

Jake Gyllenhaal in GQ magazine Session #2

"Jake favors casual t-shirts, Bermuda shorts, loose fitting jeans, and hooded sweatshirts. Sticking to black, white, and muted shades, he doesn’t draw attention to himself with vibrant colors or flashy styles. Often looking more like a college frat boy or a Santa Monica surfer dude, he clearly dresses for comfort and function. To achieve this easy- going California style, keep it simple with a white v-neck t-shirt, a slouchy black zippered sweatshirt, and a baggy pair of knee-length shorts.
Loose fitting sweat pants, chinos, or dark jeans are also perfect for a casual lunch or a shopping excursion. Footwear choices can include slip-on sandals, flip-flops, or a pair of Vans sneakers". Source: www.mensflair.com
