From playful crosshatching to classic polka dots and bold stripes, the girls serving. We’ve spotted statement prints all week long, and honestly? It’s giving major inspiration. So, we decided to call this one: How to Master the Perfect Printed Look but of course, we couldn’t do it without taking a little inspo from the NYC fashion girls. From downtown cool to uptown polish, here are the top printed looks that caught our eye this week.

Patchwork jeans have cemented their place as a timeless statement, and this pair is no exception. With mixed stripes and floral details, these pants bring a little granny-core and a lot of personality.

This look is pure sugar rush. She's wearing an orange and hot pink pinstriped skirt, paired perfectly with matching hot pink stilettos for a punch of color. The white top is a smart move, it tones things down just enough to let the bold skirt shine while still making the look feel cohesive and curated. Candy-core girls, rise.
