The 'Street Smart' lookbook by Luisa Via Roma features striking male model Sebastian Sauve. This men's wear series is heavily focused on patterned apparel, from bomber jackets to pants and hats. These shots take street wear to a more stylish level.

The looks seen in this series are both stylish and masculine. Sauve rocks sneakers, baseball caps, toques and [backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) in these shots. These accessories reinforce the youthful feel behind the 'Street Smart' lookbook.

Some of the patterned apparel in this series is checkered, while other items have more unusual patterns, or Aztec prints. This charmingly boyish series gives [men's street wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) a classy upgrade. These looks are best suited to confident men, because it takes a bold individual to wear checkered pants and sneakers.
