Let's unlock the Joe Keery style file and see what tips we can uncover...
The secret to Joe Keery's wardrobe
One thing we found common in Keery's style file? Colour blocking.
Keery certainly isn't colour-shy. Across the outfits that we found, there was a gravitational pull to earthy tones - rich greens and earthy tans. Sometimes, you can find a colour palette that just works for you. Keery seems to have that nailed.
This is something we can all easily replicate. It doesn't have to be the same colour palette of course! We'd suggest looking for those colours and shades which complement you and your vibe. It's a personal endeavour, but one that gives you the keys to experiment in ways you may not usually do so.
Once you have your comfort colours sorted, this opens the door to texture. This is something Joe Keery does perfectly. Throughout all the outfit photos we uncovered, there was a huge mix of textures; denim, leather, suede, linen, corduroy - you name it - Keery has worn it.
It's with these various materials that you can really add a level of depth and dimension to an outfit.
Let's take these two iconic looks for example.
The combination of textures is really what makes both fits shine. Outfit number one features a soft suede jacket and shiny leather loafers - both paired against a plain black ensemble. This is no accident. These two contrasting textures make you take in this attire from head to toe.
The second outfit on the left features double denim - but in a weird twist it's actually the thing you notice last! The plush suede jacket with a borg trim contrasts perfectly against the rough blue denim. It's a dynamic outfit that experiments with opposing colours and textures. A serious head-turner - well done, Joe!
Now, sorry to sound like a broken record but these two outfits also perfectly illustrate our number one piece of style advice. 'A jacket might be the last thing you put on, but it's the first thing people notice.' Outerwear should never - we repeat, never - be overlooked.
And when Keery is on screen, we see how iconic outfits can completely change someone's persona. From the tough guy leather biker jackets we saw him wear in Fargo, to the unassuming everyday outfits he wore in Spree - there are plenty of ways someone can dress to completely change the way they are perceived. Not only do Keery's characters change take us through the eras, they also perfectly translate the attitudes and personalities of each role. Through clothing, Keery's characters communicate everything from confidence and power to vulnerability and innocence, proving that style isn't just about looking good—it's a tool for storytelling.
In many ways, we can implement this into our own styling. Building daily outfits shouldn't be a chore, it should be an extension of your persona. Each piece you choose, from your jacket to your shoes, tells a story about who you are and how you want to be perceived. Just like an actor stepping into a role, your clothing helps you embody different facets of your personality—whether you're aiming for confidence in the boardroom, casual ease on the weekend, or a polished look for a night out. By thoughtfully curating your wardrobe, you can communicate your mood, values, and individuality effortlessly, turning everyday dressing into an art of self-expression.
