I miss the days when getting dressed up was a major affair for a man, so '...Again Autumn is Here' for New Icon Magazine instantly appealed to me. This Vincent Paul Young-shot editorial features Lucas Mascarini and Andrei F. in modern suits with a 'Mad Men' edge, bows, suspenders and formal hats.
I like the dapper menswear look that '...Again Autumn is Here' presents, although it wouldn't quite fit in with the low-maintenance lifestyle here in San Diego.
