# Subdued Menswear Shoots Common & Sense Man Spring 2011 Editorial Stars Charlie Westerberg By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-06-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-sense-man-spring-2011 References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/charlie-westerberg-by-tetsuharu-kubota-for-common-sense-man/) & [commons-sense.net](http://www.commons-sense.net/) Model Charlie Westerberg dons [subdued yet chic suits and separates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-brooks-brothers) for this Common & Sense Man Spring 2011 editorial. Westerberg's boyish features and angular jawline set the [contemporary menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) to look good. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Subdued Menswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating high-fashion, versatile, and understated menswear lines that can cater to various age groups. - **Age-inclusive Menswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating menswear lines that are adaptable to all ages and preferences, but still exude style and fashion sensibility. - **Clean and Simple Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating menswear lines that focus on minimalist elements, clean lines, and understated aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Apparel and Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating cutting-edge menswear collections, highlighting the trend of subdued and age-inclusive styles. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities are present in creating high-end, luxury menswear brands, focusing on the trend of clean and simple aesthetics. - **Photography and Editorial:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating innovative menswear editorial shoots, highlighting the trend of subdued and age-inclusive styles ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Refined Utility Tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Redefined Masculinity Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Western-Influenced Spring Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-capsule.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md)
