Now that Jeremy Allen White, the Golden Globe-winning star of “The Bear,” is stealing the spotlight (and hearts) in a scintillating underwear campaign for Calvin Klein, it’s time to revisit some of the fashion moments the 33-year-old “Shameless” alum has pulled off with his trademark panache.

As a men’s celebrity stylist, I’m particularly drawn to a few JAW highlights. The “grandpa core” cardigan and fatherly bomber jacket he’s sported while out with girlfriend Rosalía are certainly worth a double take, as are the “Iron Claw” wrestler’s physique-revealing short shorts and bicep-baring tanks.

There’s something about the way the Brooklyn native inhabits his “Bear” character of chef Carmy Berzatto that spills irresistibly into his street style. Is it the dirty white T-shirt? The dorky hats everyone pulls out as a comfort blanket? Or the attitude?

Whatever the attraction, here are some of the best looks from the father of two daughters (Ezer, 5, and Dolores, 3) — and how to get them for yourself.

The perfect tank

Styling tip: A white tank is all about the armpit dimensions. If it’s too high, it doesn’t show off your rock-hard biceps. If it’s too low, are you even wearing a shirt?

Slouchy pants

Styling tip: Oversized low-waisted trousers don’t work for all body types, but if you can pull it off, cuff the leg, pair them with a soft, slouchy T-shirt, and pull out your go-to sunnies and broken-in sneakers.

Styling tip: Shorter the better? Yes, chef! Pair them with, well, nothing, per the very fit actor who also plays wrestler Kerry Von Erich in “The Iron Claw.”

Baseball cap

Styling tip: A dirty baseball cap — whether it’s nostalgic or just makes the rest of your look feel more casual — can be a style homerun. Grab your team’s hat. (It might smell that’s OK.) Pair it with a casual suit or denim and a black T-shirt for a look that says you’re in the big leagues now.

White sneakers

Styling tip: I am always a fan of wearing white sneakers, but if they’re too clean, they have not lived life yet (and that’s no fun). Instead of tossing them, pair the sneaks back with high-waisted trousers or white denim.

Styling tip: Wearing the classic bomber jacket in an NYC way means layering black on black. Sling it over a cashmere sweater paired with relaxed trousers.

Retro cardigan

Styling tip: Making a cardigan sexy sounds a tad taboo. I like to spin it into the I-don’t-care vibes, by throwing it on with your hipster blue jeans and a tucked-in T-shirt.
