The Bear Season Three Is Brilliant – And So Are The Outfits

The Bear season three graced our television screens last week, and all we can say is - yes chef. The gritty, Chicago-based TV series is back for another season of mouth-watering recipes, genius writing and the perfect dose of the cast's dysfunctional yet endearing dynamic. Oh - and brilliant fashion choices.

While the fashion in The Bear is somewhat subtle and understated (in the way Palm Royale definitely wasn't) it's still a huge part of the character's identities. In season's gone by, Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White) wears simple Loro Piana polo shirts, Thom Browne trousers and retro New Balance sneakers, while Sydney's (Ayo Edebiri) love for vintage tees, Paloma Wool jumpers and boldly brilliant bandanas isn't left unnoticed. Pastry Chef Marcus frequently wears eBay-sourced Carhartt beanies, Richie is seen in second-hand adidas and Lacoste, and vintage Levi's are a staple in practically every character's wardrobe.

The retro, up-cycled element of the styling was - of course - entirely intentional. Speaking to Esquire, The Bear Costume Designer Courtney Wheeler says 'Chefs have a particular eye for detail and what looks good—quality, cut, colour, which I think has come through with Carmy, with Syd, and with Marcus'. Chefs are innately cool, and artists in their own right, with a keen eye of what looks good, so it only makes that their image reflects that. Season three is no different, with immediate sartorial standouts from the very first episode. Carmen's Ralph Lauren Jacket is a particular favourite, as well as Sydney's delightfully vibrant array of head scarves.

Shop The Bear outfits below, or in Mikey's words - let it rip.

Shop: The Bear Outfits

Sydney's Bandanas

Sydney's bandanas have reached cult status, at this point. While many of the pieces are from Chicago-based independent brands and therefore unavailable in the UK, we've found the closest alternatives to shop now, plus options from KAPITAL, a brand consistently featured on the show.

Carmen's Jackets

Stoic and minimalistic as always, Carmen's simple collared Ralph Lauren jacket just makes sense. It's still available to shop, so keep scrolling.

As we see flashbacks of Carmen embarking on his new adventure in New York, he wears the classic Barbour Ogston Wax Jacket which is still in stock - for now.

Sydney's Vintage Jumper

In true Sydney nature, the sous chef wears this vibrantly patterned vintage Polo Ralph Lauren jumper, and we've found the exact match on Etsy.

Sydney's Ganni Bag

Another fashion moment from Sydney (who previously wore a sold out Dries Van Noten dress - we see you!) this time with the classic Ganni Bou bag which happens to be in the Liberty summer sale.

Tiffany's Quilted Jacket

Quilted jackets are a timeless classic, and Tiff's exact jacket is still available to shop on Revolve.
