How to Style the Ryan Gosling Blade Runner 2049 Jacket

Ryan Gosling’s shearling jacket worn as Officer K in Blade Runner 2049 is arguably one of the most iconic pieces of sci-fi movie costumes seen on screen in the last decade or so. Featuring a distressed brown leather exterior, a large shearling collar, asymmetrical front zipper, and a bold orange lining inside, it falls into a rare category of items being quite specific yet still very usable in real life.

So here’s how you should properly wear it.

Know Your Piece of Clothes

The key features of this jacket are the contrasts between tough brown leather and fluffy shearling, as well as the difference between dark exterior color and bright orange lining. It means your overall look should highlight these aspects instead of overpowering them. It’s best done by creating a more subdued background for the jacket.

Start with Monochrome

A monochrome look can be your best choice to rock this jacket. Try wearing a slim pair of black jeans and either white or black fitted t-shirt underneath. Finish up with black Chelsea boots or combat ones. This outfit works both as a comfortable casual option for daytime activities and as an informal evening look.

Layering Without Adding Volume

Either the black turtleneck or the charcoal knit underneath can work in this case since the jacket can accommodate such a layering. However, one should not add anything voluminous to the shoulders that could cause the jacket to fit tightly when zipped up.

Casual Smart Dressing with the Jacket

Combining dark-colored chinos and the button-down shirt in light white or light blue colors makes the jacket look semi-formal and stylish. It will be perfect for going out to have dinner and also for office dressing in a more relaxed atmosphere like a creative workplace.

Earth Tones and Jacket

As the brown color of the jacket is a warm one, it matches perfectly olive green, tan, caramel, and cream colors. Combining khaki pants with cream colored knit sweater and brown suede boots looks very seasonal.

Caring for the Jacket

Leather and shearling both need maintenance. Apply conditioner to the leather every couple of months with a conditioner made especially for distressed finish leather. If water is spilled on the collar, shape the collar by hand and air dry, but do not put it near a heater or in a dryer. The shearling should be brushed occasionally to keep it looking nice. Hang it on a padded hanger in a cool, airy environment.
