I'm a sucker for [debonair menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-touch-by-bugatchi), so 'Dressing the Man' in Sense Magazine stuck out like a (very fashionable) sore thumb against the sea of grunge-inspired fashion and [gender-bending collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take). This editorial appears in Sense Magazine's November issue, and is shot by Junji Hata.

In 'Dressing the Man,' model Jakob Hybolt does an excellent job in channeling the [leading men from Old Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles). Check out the images from Sense Magazine above to see what I mean.
