Model Charlie Westerberg dons subdued yet chic suits and separates for this Common & Sense Man Spring 2011 editorial. Westerberg's boyish features and angular jawline set the contemporary menswear off perfectly; the outfits he wears could work for men of nearly any age.
Photographer Tetsuharu Kubota lensed the shoot, while Yoko Miyake provided the styling. The fashion featured in this Common & Sense Man photo shoot is all from Diesel Gold Black. Westerberg's clean-shaven face and loosely tousled hair give him the look of a schoolboy in some images, but one photo in which he wears a winter hat gives him an edgier, almost Eminem-like appearance.
This Common & Sense Man Spring 2011 editorial shows that you don't need to don flashy fashion to look good.
