There's an undeniable duality concerning these photos from the Milano Portfolio by Giampaolo Sgura. Four dashing male models sport slicked hair and [stylish suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-brooks-brothers), but their bottom halves reveal an entirely different tone.

One could argue that Miguel Arnau really only had half of a job when it came to styling up this inclusion in Men in Italy's recent book. [Dress shirts, neckties and blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-touch-by-bugatchi) have been completely cut at the wearers' waistlines to divulge [bare skin from the hips down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt).

As drop-dead gorgeous as these debonaire models are, a hint of modesty remains, as each clasps his hands in front of his manhood. The overall pictures created have a playful quality of the overdressed and the under, giving these black and white images from the Milano Portfolio by Giampaolo Sgura an irresistible appeal.
