The L’Officiel Hommes Germany Spring 2012 edition is a sunny sartorial look at the coming menswear styles. Editor in Chief Lale Aktay outfitted the shoot with a primary-hued, athletic look. The ensembles are polished and tailored, but maintain a casual edge and relaxed vibe. Preppy styles and traditional silhouettes are combined with contemporary details, such as studded collars and monotonous yellow oxfords. The sharp pieces hail from [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-commute) Pror­sum and the [Calvin Klein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvin-klein-hair-body-perfume-mists) Col­lection.

Lensed by Errikos Andreou, the shoot focuses on the color splash and the youthful enthusiasm. Model Alexan­der Laible exhibits the clothing with an effortless gentlemanly air, alluring the fashion-savvy. Each shot shows the wearability of the high-fashion pieces.
