The Trucker Hat Ryan Gosling Can't Stop Wearing
Ryan Gosling has a new favorite uniform, and it is a far cry from the designer suits that define his red carpet presence.
Lately, the actor has been leaning into a more functional look for his days out and about promoting his films. From the Project Hail Mary press run to a viral recreation of a La La Land poster, Gosling has been showing up in the same signature look again and again, all tied together by one standout piece: a trucker hat.
Ryan's Signature Street Style
At the center of his street style is the CAT Apparel Designed by Avery Ranch collection, a collaboration that blends rugged workwear aesthetics with thoughtful tailoring you would expect from Hollywood’s top stylists. Created by Gosling’s longtime stylist Mark Avery, the collection feels like a natural extension of the actor’s evolving personal style.
The Avery Ranch collection is rooted in classic workwear silhouettes. Canvas jackets, structured shirts, durable pants, and of course, the now-iconic trucker hat make the collection what it is. But, what really sets these pieces apart is the refinement, transforming street style into a casual look that's unmistakably elevated.
Gosling’s repeated appearances in the collection have turned it into a quiet fashion moment. The collection stands out because of its simplicity, especially in an era where celebrity fashion often leans maximalist.
The Hat Isn't New
The trucker hat, in particular, has become the defining accessory for Gosling's style. It adds a laid-back edge to every outfit, softening the structure of the workwear pieces and making the entire look more effortless.
While this hat has gotten a lot of attention lately, this is not a sudden style pivot for the actor. Long before the Avery Ranch collection officially entered the spotlight, Gosling had already been spotted wearing CAT hats in a variety of settings.
At ComicCon 2025, he went for a casual look that stood out among more traditional press attire. During The Fall Guy press tour, he further leaned into relaxed silhouettes. The hat even made an appearance during promotional material for his 2025 episode of Saturday Night Live.
It's Not Just for Guys
Although the collection was originally designed with menswear in mind, it has quickly found a broader audience. Women have been embracing the pieces, styling them in ways that feel even more versatile.
Actress Eva Mendes, Gosling’s longtime partner, has been one of its most visible supporters of the brand. She shared a look on Instagram featuring the Corduroy Bomber Jacket paired with the Canvas Shirt in the Overshadow colorway, proving that the pieces translate seamlessly across wardrobes.
TV personality Amanda Kloots also gave the collection her stamp of approval, showcasing the Canvas Pant and matching Canvas Shirt, again in Overshadow. The monochromatic styling highlights just how wearable and cohesive the collection is, regardless of who is wearing it.
