Jake for all seasons

A gratuitous post this evening, inspired by having been caught not once, but twice today in unseasonably atrocious weather. I was unprepared, but Jake Gyllenhaal has demonstrated time after time that he knows just what to wear for the right occasion, with one or two notable exceptions...

Wet Jake

While most of us dislike wet weather for obvious reasons, one rarely hears complaints about wet Jake. As a result, when Jake is wet, he is usually shown to be enjoying it, knowing, as he must, how we appreciate it.





Wintry Jake

Jake has said that he loves snow, although as an inhabitant of Los Angeles he presumably has to travel to find it, but, now and again, film makers and photographers oblige and stick Jake in fake snow. In such situations, 700 denier North Face jackets are not essential. However, if you're going to the North Pole, you have to be prepared and you may have to go through survival training, as demonstrated below.






Cold Jake

Jake often looks cold when he leaves Los Angeles - especially when he visits New York City or London. Jake particularly looks cold whenever he visits London, even when it's not at all cold, it's as if he's trying to fit in. Jake has demonstrated time after time that he knows how to wear layers, one of which is often a well-loved cardigan.





Coldish weather has the added bonus of bringing out my favourite item in Jake's wardrobe - the blue toggle jumper, as modelled here.

Hot Jake

We all look forward to the summer, not least because Jake can shed the layers and do what he does best - look hot.
