'Paper Boys' in Surface Magazine Shows Off Retro-Nouveau Menswear

— April 18, 2010 — Fashion
It's April, which means it's high time to dust off leisure suits like the white one in the first image from 'Paper Boys' in Surface Magazine above. The all-white tailored suit is given a modern upgrade with a coordinating shirt and tie, and the whole outfit is topped off with a black bowler cap.

The rest of 'Paper Boys' in Surface Magazine follows this theme of adding a modern update to classic menswear. Above, you'll see cardigans and messenger bags, velvety blazers and long windbreaker jackets.
