Photographer Juco's latest editorial for Complex Magazine highlights tropical menswear looks that reference styles from the 90s. The editorial, titled 'Hot Tropic' boasts a mix of nostalgic casuals from some of the fashion industry's most daring talents.
Featuring pieces from Jeremy Scott, James Long and Bobby Abley -- whose pieces reference Disney hit 'The Little Mermaid' -- this image series is nostalgic and effortlessly cool in its overall look and feel. The feature is lensed against beach-inspired vignettes and includes images that resemble magazine cutouts from retro publications.
