Marco Leisten: AW looks
As the air turns cooler, so does the desire to wrap up in soft materials and carefully considered pieces. The high season for styling has begun - more layers mean more ways to express yourself.
Marco Leisten shares his take on how to put together outfits - it’s about building a look from solid, timeless garments that can be combined in countless ways. According to Marco, the key is to keep it simple - there’s no need to overcomplicate it. A monochrome look stands out because it reflects a conscious choice of tone, making it both refined and effortlessly stylish. The same goes for an outfit where contrasts stand out.
We find Marco’s approach to fashion truly inspiring. His focus on the minimalist wardrobe aligns with the core philosophy behind our designs. We’re also curious about how it all began - and how Marco has reached the point where he now makes a living creating engaging content, followed by more than 400,000 people on @marco.lstn.
We were pleased to spend an autumn day with him in his hometown, Düsseldorf. He showed us some of his favourite places and styled four sleek Lindbergh AW looks - pieces that remain staples in his rotation. Maybe soon in yours, too?

For me, less is more. Dressing well means keeping it simple and wearing what you truly like.

What is your name, occupation, and where do you live?
My name is Marco, and I’m a Content Creator in men’s fashion. I live in Düsseldorf, Germany.
How would you describe your own style?
My style is a modern take on classic menswear. I keep it minimalistic, focusing on timeless pieces worn in a relaxed, contemporary way. I pay close attention to fabrics, quality, textures, and shapes rather than following bold trends.
What’s the most important in a man’s outfit and is key to dressing well?
For me, less is more. Dressing well means keeping it simple and wearing what you truly like. Confidence comes from feeling comfortable in your own clothes, and people notice that. Versatility and intention are key - having pieces that work well together helps you look put together without overcomplicating your outfit.
Why is Lindbergh a good match for you?
Lindbergh offers great quality garments, which is the most important factor for me when choosing a brand. They have a wide selection of classic menswear staples with a slightly modern touch - exactly how I like to build my wardrobe. From knitwear for fall, pleated wool trousers, classic denim, to outerwear for colder days. Lindbergh provides essentials that fit perfectly into my daily style.
The classic monochrome look
Why this look?
This look is all about timeless style: a black wool coat, dark tailored trousers, and a classic knit polo shirt. I love keeping things simple and effortless - it looks sharp but still super relaxed. The monochrome palette keeps it clean, confident, and perfect for a day in the city.
Sharp. Simple. Elevated.

What's your favourite places in Düsseldorf?
I love Düsseldorf Flingern for its small cafés, restaurants, and bars - it’s also one of my favourite places to work when I’m in Düsseldorf. I also enjoy Carlsplatz, the local flea markets, Rösterei Vier, Velvet, f()rum, and spending time along the Rhine.
How did you get into working as a Content Creator?
(Marco's answer)
Were you always into fashion and dressing in your own individual style?
I’ve always had a great interest in fashion. When I was younger, I dressed differently from everyone else and stayed true to myself. For me, it has always been important to follow my own style rather than just trends. I choose my wardrobe pieces based on the idea that I can wear them for many years - maybe even decades.
For example, I bought a pair of boots in 2019 that I still wear every winter - they just take a quick trip to the cobbler, and then they’re ready for another season. Always quality over quantity.
The clothing from Lindbergh is timeless - you’re investing in styles that will remain part of your rotation for years to come. The aesthetic is both modern and classic, making it easy to build outfits and mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe.
