For Carbon Copy magazine's issue #11, photographer Diana King snaps hot male model Ryan Taylor casually posing at the top of a building. The aptly titled 'Up On A Roof' editorial showcases the model in casual, wearable styles that can certainly be translated to real-life everyday attire.
Taylor looks undeniably cool in slick pieces styled by Lyndzi Trang. One of his looks is a geeky ensemble comprising a polka-dot cardigan, paisley print shirt and camel-hued pants. Oh, and he also sports the geek-chic signature accessory: black-framed plastic glasses. The other looks in this Carbon Copy magazine feature include more posh styles, such as a chunky knit cardigans with an exaggerated collar, bold red pants and a navy plaid jacket.
