Into the wild: Stay at the sharp end of your style peak
For our autumn issue we took a road trip to Snowdonia, where we shot the latest outdoors gear for the stylish guy
Words: Zak Maoui
For the autumn 2024 issue of Gentleman's Journal, we took a trip to the northern region of Wales to showcase how guys can do the outdoors in style.
Captured in September at the luscious Snowdonia national park, famed for its rolling fells and trickling streams, the shoot embodies a new sensibility towards the great outdoors: getting dressed for it can be fun and, importantly, stylish.
