This FT How To Spend It fashion feature by photographer Diego Merino brings its nomadic visual inspiration to life with [layered menswear pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25) and its nature-enriched backdrop. Bearded up-and-comer Steffen Norgaard stars in this [rugged portrait series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-brand-kestin) that features warm and cozy menswear pieces.

Steffen poses in a winter-ready wardrobe of [chunky knits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herdsman-sweater-collection), heavy cottons and rich furs that are both nomadic and masculine. Showcased in a palette of earthy and neutral hues, these menswear picks by stylist Damian Foxe reference a Nordic visual aesthetic.

In addition to his Viking and lumberjack likings, Steffan Norgaard embodies a sense of power and an eclectic style sense that is synonymous with his outdoorsy character in this editorial by Diego Merino.
