Aztec, animal, floral and plaid prints are embraced in this fashion and menswear editorial, entitled 'Lonesome Citizens,' from photographer Alberto Saguar for online publication 'F#*king Young!' The shoot stars similar-looking, slender models wearing pieces from Carlos Diez, Lacoste, Blanco and David Delfin, who pose in the photograph both individually and coupled together.
A tan sweater with matching trousers and paired with a navy blue, plaid blazer stands out as my favourite piece in this assortment of luxurious casual wear. Modern cuts and tailoring, along with the androgynous look of the models and the simple gray backdrops used in these images, all come together to create some contemporary inspiration for your next shopping spree. So if you're not quite sure what to pair that leather leopard-print motorcycle jacket with, then check out these shots from Alberto Saguar.
