Joseph Quinn Is Kicking Off Jacket Season Two Months Early

We’re in the middle of a ripping hot summer. The first official day of fall is still another two months away. But none of that has stopped Joseph Quinn from getting a head start on unleashing some elite autumnal outerwear upon the world. For the past month, the British actor has been on a global press tour for the new Fantastic Four movie, and he spent last week making the rounds in New York. Despite temperatures hovering into the mid-90s, the Human Torch still stepped out into the Manhattan humidity in a slew of supremely suave coats and jackets.

It all began last Wednesday, when Quinn flew into JFK airport in a look that could hold its own amongst the moodboard-dominating travel looks of yesteryear. He nailed the delicate dance of style and comfort crucial for a high-grade airport fit. Cozy baggy pants? Check. Versatile layering of a T-shirt and sweater? Check and check. A great leather jacket? Absolutely—and it was the cropped and boxy silhouette that continues to lead the pack.

The next day, Quinn was in the middle of Manhattan, alongside H.E.R.B.I.E. and The Thing, in an Alexander McQueen denim trucker jacket with a contrast corduroy collar and a delightful vintage-inspired wash. He paired it with the label’s matching darted slim jeans, no less. (Quinn is not the only one being tempted by the siren song of skinny denim.) He completed the ensemble with a pair of pointed-toe boots sharp enough to poke an eye out.
