Austin Butler is, by all accounts, a suit guy. Whether he’s donning Celine or Prada (two of his favorite brands when it comes to suiting), the Elvis star has become synonymous with a good ol’ fashioned blazer and trouser combos.
Still, don’t let his penchant for opulence fool you into thinking that Austin Butler isn’t partial to more relaxed ensembles, too. Because, after all, he isn’t raiding the fridge of his Los Angeles home at 2am wearing a black velvet Saint Laurent tuxedo now is he?
On August 13 for instance, the 31-year-old was seen wearing a look that’s the antithesis of what we’ve come to expect from Butler: a plain white T-shirt, adidas tracksuit bottoms, and adidas Sambas.
Spotted at Trancas Market picking up a bouquet of flowers for his girlfriend Kaia Gerber, Butler’s look — which was rounded out with a NASA cap and sunglasses — was a far cry from the red carpet looks we’ve come to associate with him, although one we’re certainly keen on seeing more of.

While Butler’s look isn’t reinventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination, it is a reminder that even Hollywood stars are human, plus another example of the never ending popularity of the adidas Samba.
Ever since its rise up the sneaker rankings in 2020, the low-profile silhouette has become the shoe of choice for everyone, including names like Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and Butler’s girlfriend, Gerber. I mean, nowadays people are even customizing their Sambas too.
An Austin Butler seal of approval though is yet another sign (as if it needed one) that the Samba, which was named as one of the hottest products of 2022 by Lyst, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
It's also a part of the proof that Austin Butler isn’t only good at dressing up, but he’s a natural at dressing down too.
