Justin Theroux’s late summer NYC street-style: too layered or hipster-cute?

FFN_Theroux_Justin_TeachFF_091014_51527296

Is it cold enough in NYC for this ensemble? I’ll look it up online. This week it’s been in the 70s and 80s during the day and much cooler overnight. These photos of Justin Theroux were taken during the day yesterday, when it was probably 75-80 degrees. He just gets cold, y’all. It’s not his fault.

Justin is back in NYC after a brief detour in Toronto to support his lady’s film. I don’t know where Jennifer Aniston post-TIFF. Did she fly back to LA? Is she in NYC with Justin? Probably not. On Tuesday night, Justin went out to dinner with Liv Tyler and David Beckham and there was no sign of Aniston. Liv and David know each other because Liv’s boyfriend and baby-daddy is Beckham’s manager. Liv and Justin are costars on The Leftovers and have reportedly gotten very close during filming. I’m not saying it’s sketchy. I’m not!! I’m just saying…. Justin and Liv seem very close. Cough.

Meanwhile, while Aniston was at TIFF, she talked about how happy she is with Justin, saying: “My life is a happy life. It’s a choice. Justin is probably one of the funniest human beings that I’ve ever encountered. I have the great fortune to laugh a lot. We laugh a lot.” I bet Justin IS probably more amusing than most of the guys she’s been with. I also think Justin is unfairly whitewashed by the Aniston Machine, like they’re trying to turn him into Jen’s “Perfect Man.” He’s a quirky hipster who loves New York and wants to live a luxurious and drama-less life. Hm.

PS… HE GOT NEW BOOTS. He’s not wearing those fug Doc Martens now.

    I think he is really sexy despite the rational part of my brain saying NOOO HIPSTER NONSENSE ON A 40 YEAR OLD!

    But I would. I so would.

    • Tanguerita says:

      I know, right? still would.

    • doofus says:

      ha! in these pics, I’d agree with you. he doesn’t usually do it for me, but he looks good here.

      and yes, that outfit would be WAY TOO MUCH for the temps today, but late afternoon and evenings are getting chilly.

      • Esmom says:

        I’m with you. As for the layers, I tend to be the same way, prepared for anything. When it’s hot outside I still carry a sweater or jacket knowing I will freeze in the AC. And here in Chicago it feels like late fall today, when it was warm and humid yesterday. Crazy weather everywhere, I think.

        But…why does he get a pass on his hipster style and Sam Taylor Johnson, a peer, is a try hard?

      • doofus says:

        Esmom, totally agree about the layers. I’m always cold, too…even in 90 degree heat, I wear a sweater in the AC and put a blanket over my legs.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      TRENCHCOAT MAFFIA.

      …and I still would.

      *runs and hides*

    • QQ says:

      *sigh* me too with deep deep deep shame

    • mia girl says:

      Yeah, I come into this biased because I’ve liked him as an actor since Six Feet Under.
      But after watching him on the Leftovers, now I’m kinda hot for him.

    • Mike says:

      He looks like he spends hours in the mirror trying to get that “I just threw this on” look. Really vain and affected instead of manly. My opinion anyway

    • Byte Me says:

      I find him much sexier on The Leftovers in action than looking at photos of him.

      • mia girl says:

        I agree with this.
        Plus, his red-carpet smile is terrible.

      • Chris says:

        Yeah, and in reading his interviews, he’s sounds much more charming and down to earth than his clothing choices would lead one to believe.

      • Becky1 says:

        Yes-he is really hot on the show. He’s a good looking guy when he’s not rocking the overly manicured, aging hipster look.

    • Miller621 says:

      Ugh me too! *hanging my head in shame

    • Nev says:

      happening outfit.

    • Jh says:

      He is SO HOT and TALENTED in The Leftovers. So hot. No shame. I’m a fan.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      He is hot when he ditches his ridiculous skinny jeans, tight tshirts, the bajillion key rings, and the sweater tied around his waist. Also–that tan and guyliner needs to GO. But I thought he was so, so, SO hot in Charlie’s Angels…..I thought his accent (although horrible) was sexy sexy.

      One thing I don’t get/like is that he’s supposed to be this hipster intellectual, but all he talks about in interview is what he’s wearing and his junk. Am I missing something, or is this how hipster intellectuals interview?

    • GiGi says:

      God,me, too. He’s been popping up (if you know what I mean) in my dreams all week. I’m a vivid dreamer – not usually about celebs, though… Must be his hipster layers have me all disturbed!

  2. Anon says:

    He is so petite!

  3. Stef Leppard says:

    Maybe Liv is carrying Justin’s baby…?

    • someone says:

      My thoughts exactly lol

    • Tippy says:

      I think that the possibility needs to be entertained.

    • Falula says:

      I was going to start this conspiracy theory on Liv’s thread, too!

    • Kim1 says:

      So he left Jen to fly to NYC to have dinner with Liv and Beckham? Are they working on The Leftovers?

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      OMG–I don’t think so, but if that ended up being true….Liv better run and hide. Run and hide. She’ll get cut by a bottle of smartwater.

    • P.J. says:

      That was EXACTLY my first thought @StefLeppard! She was showing far, far too much to have only been THREE(!) months along in that red dress in those beach pics taken last month (the word is that she’s now four months” along) unless she’s expecting twins and if she and Justin had “gotten close” all during filming this past spring…

      As much of a conspiracy theory as it is (who knows? The father really could be anyone) that would make much more sense as far as explaining her easily 6 months pregnant looking stomach. Let’s hope this dude she just met is at least as suspicious as all of us. Eek 😳

  4. Jenns says:

    In no way has it been cold enough for this outfit. I’m in Philly and it’s been really warm.

    I will say that I find him really hot on The Leftovers, but when I see photos like this, it kills my attraction.

  5. Kiddo says:

    People make fun of Swifty, but this dude is clearly dressed, and making Zoolander faces, for pap shots. It was close to 80 yesterday. Perhaps he was expecting a quick shift to Winter, brought on by his coolness, which necessitated the extra sweater tied around his hips. I have to say, though, that my first response was to laugh at the photo, but I have an odd sense of humor anyway. At any rate, I agree with Jen that he is hilarious.

  6. BendyWindy says:

    I can’t hate on him for the jacket. I’ve been wearing pants, jackets and sweaters all summer and I live in the south. I just run really, really friggin’ cold.

  7. Size Does Matter says:

    He looks like he’s auditioning for Hipster Wyatt Earp and the Charge of his Unseasonables.

  8. Allie says:

    It must be so exhausting to be a hipster.

  9. Skins says:

    I have to say, I liked the guy on The Leftovers, but dude, it is 80 degrees out.

  10. Josefa says:

    Given The Leftovers wasn’t the success it was supposed to be, he should probably call Lily Collins, Katie Holmes and Armie Hammer to star on his new sitcom “The NonHappeners (and the powerful connections that took them nowhere)”. Rita Ora could perform the opening theme.

    • Byte Me says:

      It was successful enough to get a 2nd season.

      • floretta50 says:

        Tried to watch The Leftovers, it’s bad really bad, should have been canned. Not if Chinnefer had anything to do about it. Canning it wasn’t going to happen, too much imbarrasment for this high profile couple and the competition they try to keep up with.

  11. Soulsister says:

    LOL. He just comes across as really ridiculous to me. It’s as though he just tries to hard to be this edgy, ultra-cool hipster when from what I’ve see of him from the last 3 years he seems very partial to extreme tanning, hair plugs and totally playing the HW game.

    I suspect that one of the reasons that Aniston got with him was because she thought that his so-called edginess would rub off on her but ultimately he appears to be as naff as she is.

  12. bella says:

    i’m sure she’s laughing ALL the time…
    the guy is a huge goober.
    sorry, not my speed…not a MAN, ya know?
    at this stage in her life, you’d think she’d want a real man…he just seems so juvenile…
    i can see though how many find him sexy and so would…
    just not me…

    • Shijel says:

      The hell’s a ‘real man’?

    • Josephine says:

      To the extent that they both seem stuck in a single style, maybe they’re a match made in heaven 🙂 Neither seems particularly mature, wordly or well-developed.

      • Josephina says:

        B-I-N-G-O….Bingo!!!

        Why was he in such a hurry to return to NYC anyway??? Aniston is not doing well at TIFF. Her movie that was released a few weekends ago did POORLY:

        Opened at 33 theatres and made $99K during opening weekend. Divide 33 into $99K and then divide THAT by 3 to give you the daily average over the weekend. Yikes!! The release then expanded the following week to 37 theatres total, only to rapidly drop off severely since then..

        And the movie Cake? Outside of tweets from FANS, film critics are NOT IMPRESSED with Aniston’s performance.

        Justin lives the single life: hanging out with friends, go see your girlfriend on the west coast, go hang out with your guy friends, and oh yeah, work too. I do not get the “I am a fiance” vibe from him . Given that HE PROPOSED TO HER, Justin does not seem eager to marry.

    • Franny Days says:

      At my stage in life I want someone who makes me laugh all of the time. Life is too serious and stressful as is, and a partner who brings a lighter side to things is awesome. That’s a real man to me 🙂

      • doofus says:

        agree. one of the things I love most about the bf is the way (and how much) he makes me laugh. and yeah, sometimes it’s silly, juvenile stuff, but it’s funny and makes us happy to laugh together.

        I mean, we have an “inside joke” about Scooby Doo (a few, actually) and one of the cards he gave me on my last birthday was one (surely meant for a child) with Scooby Doo on the front. I didn’t even open the card before I started laughing, and laughing hard. for several minutes. and even now, when I see the card, I start laughing. and that may be juvenile but it’s good for the soul to laugh like that, even if it’s at silly things.

      • bella says:

        @Franny i’m with you…absolutely…a good sense of humor is very sexy and desirable.
        i guess by saying a real man to me is better said – “manly.”
        i prefer my man to look like a man…
        justin is sexy to some, sure…but he’s too girly for me.
        to each his own on what manly means…
        i like mine to look like a grown up…and the sense of humor would def be a bonus.

  13. Jenna says:

    This is neither too layered NOR hipster cute. This is just a t-shirt, jeans, and a jacket. Nothing special to see here!

    BUT HE LOOK HOT, DAYUM!

  14. Jaded says:

    He’s just so…..so…..what’s the word I’m looking for….got it! Contrived! And he looks like he practices poses and smiles and ironic eyebrow lifts for hours in front of the mirror. He prolly practices how he walks too. We used to call it the “pimp roll”. You know, that sort of slouchy, swaggery, deliberately nonchalant stroll.

    • Sullivan says:

      Yes, contrived. He tries so very hard to look like he’s not trying.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I’m still remembering his tirade on flip flops…..and after that, now we know that he is a poseur. He said he’d rather be uncomfortable than change his look. Well, these pictures are PROOF.

      But I can’t stand it when people obsess over their clothes, their hair, etc…..men or women. It’s one thing to care how you look, and dress for the occasion (and take the necessary time to do so), and it’s another thing to be doing what Justin does. He looks like he spends a ton of time picking out JUST the right sweater to go around his waist, and JUST the right amount of keys to go on his key ring for Thursday.

      Total turn off.

  15. Ag says:

    i like the outfit, but this is an october-or-later outfit. too soon, justin, too soon.

  16. Twinkle says:

    Too self-conscious! He tries SO hard.

  17. finished says:

    Is he wearing something tied around his waist to hide his” Package”?

  18. Nashville Girl says:

    I had never heard of him until he started dating JA. I’m currently watching The Leftovers on demand, and am really enjoying his performance.

  19. L says:

    It’s cold enough early morning or later in the day, yes.

  20. MissTrial says:

    Too cool for school.

    He’s a rebel, man.

  21. anne_000 says:

    I think the sleeves hanging down in front of his pants is ridiculous, (especially in summer with an overcoat on). It looks like he wants to symbolize something and bring attention to this particular part of his body…
    He’s way too much like a girl, imo, because he keeps coming off as obsessed with his appearance like he thinks he’s in a photo-spread 24/7.
    He needs to be a bit taller to pull off this look without looking like an abnormal Munchkin.

  22. SFRowGuy says:

    Yeah. He’s wearing way too much clothes. :p

  23. Janet says:

    Poor guy. He’s trying to make himself happen and he ain’t happening.

  24. Ruyana says:

    The skinny jeans he insists on wearing in his “civilian life” are the absolute worst. His legs are too short in relation to his torso and the tight jeans make him look like a bandy-legged old man. Uggity, ugh, ugh, ugh!

  25. Scarlett says:

    Stop. Popping. Your. Collar.
    UGH!!!!
    Its not even cute on high school boys anymore, never was anyway actually.

  26. Debutante says:

    Oh my God, he looks ridiculous !! It is still like summer here ! It was in the 80s today with high humidity ! Take your coat off, you look lik like a mental patient !
