Fall runways invoked painterly sensibility and dapper dandy with matching prints at the likes of Prada and Marc Jacobs. While Miuccia frequently sets the trendsetter status quo, this printed partnership is here to stay. Just look to Marc Jacobs’ Spring collection for innovation. He adopted the style with mastered double takes on checks and stripes. Don’t fear these brazen and bold prints – try full-on brocade, paisley or geometric numbers in skirts, pants and sweaters. We’ve got you covered head-to-toe with these punchy pieces.
