If you're bored of standard spring menswear, 'Boys to Men' in Wad Magazine is an editorial you'll love. Shot by Laurent Humbert, the editorial features models Florian Bourdila and Jeremy Dufour in pastel fashions curated by stylists Laura Watters and Claire Duport.
My favorite looks from the shoot are the first two. In each, a standard menswear staple--the pork pie hat and the bow tie, respectively--is given an edgy twist by association. Check out more shots of 'Boys to Men' in Wad Magazine above.
