Calvin Klein’s holiday outing hands Trent Alexander Arnold a role once long filled by men who find that special spark in stillness. The English soccer player holds attention in a faux leather jacket with a sherpa collar.
The leather jacket evokes the rugged outerwear that moved through New York in the late seventies, only here the cut is cleaner with a sharper mood in mind. Arnold wears it with a black polo, offering a combination perfect for the cold night waiting outside.
Trent Alexander Arnold for Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein really settles into the season once the layers fall away. Arnold sports the brand’s underwear lineup, framed by light that recalls early aughts fragrance ads with their stadium tunnel intensity.
The cotton stretch pieces give a nod to the mid 2000s waistband era, while the microfiber style tightens the profile for a more performance minded read.
Then come the bootcut jeans, paired with a bare torso and a black soccer ball underfoot, a modest salute to the late nineties return of wider legs. Together these scenes construct a portrait of a man who shifts between sport, intimacy, and nightlife in a way that suits the Calvin Klein’s long history with cultural figures who know how to command a camera’s attention.
