Trend Report: Print Party

Color. The very use of it dazzles the eye, making it dance from one corner to the next. To take spectacular colors to create a print, creates wearable art that fashion gals artfully mix and match into this self-proclaimed 'print party' of a trend.

A colorful print inspired by jeweled glamour paired with a casual backpack and wide-brimmed hat.

Birkenstock-style sandals redone with a silver metallic and gold studded twist get kitschy in style when paired with floral cropped jeans and plush pink socks.

A row of Starbucks drinks in hand, these three gals keep it classic yet fun.

Who said color clashing had to be limited to clothing? The purple dip-dye, yellow varsity jacket, and costume jewelry strikes a note between Madonna circa 1980 and modern-day Laker fan.

A notable nod to the eccentric style of the Japanese Harajuku girls.

Like a walking piece of fashion and art, the lines and colors in this ensemble are reminiscent of the Bauhaus art.

Fuzzy color lines on a fur coat make a strong, yet playful statement.

Literally rocking the color trend from head to tippy tippy toe.

Cotton candy locks, rich blue velvet coat, and metallic olive trousers assert that the fun fashion is just as relevant.

Quilting isn't just for the bedding. This quilted ivory sweatshirt skirt set sends a strong message – perfection in casual chic. The texture in the quilted textile gives the outfit a relaxed, yet chicly structured look finished off with a statement cross body bag.

Elegance is the key. White palazzo cut at the exact perfect length for optimum height illusions give this look all the elegance in the world. The structured top, metallic gold collar, and casual anorak are just the extra cherries on top.

This perfectly tailored dress strikes the precise chord between polished and edgy. With a flair of Chanel influence, circa Spring 2013, this delicately tailored frock pairs wonderfully with a tough pair of printed platform oxfords.

Using her white coat as a clean canvas for pops of deliciously bright color bursts of soft pink and canary yellow. This white ensemble definitely showcases the color of the accessories.

Another example of how white can be the ideal backdrop to show off your accessories du jour. Pops of turquoise and blue-green shades highlight simplicity.

Tousled bob, velvet duster, and tennis inspired white ensemble? Such an unexpected combination that seamlessly creates an effortless look of ease and Parisian chic.

Suit up. In a light colored, monochromatic suit, the tailoring is key. With slim trousers and a boxy, oversized blazer, this look proves the effectiveness of a great tailor.

This many differently colored accessories would never work in anything other than this classic silhouette of white. Fitted turtleneck sweater with a precisely cut A-line skirt is the ideal backdrop for her pops of idiosyncratic color.

Trend Report: Boyfriend in New York

In the city streets of New York Fashion Week, the boyfriend has taken over – the boyfriend look, that is. Baseball caps and beanies, distressed boyfriend jeans, oversized outerwear, rugged overalls, and masculine kicks is what it's all about this winter season.

Dressed head to toe in a cool color palette of different shades of blue, this gal has got the look down from her light wash distressed boyfriend jeans and clean white sneakers to her multi tone wool coat.

From her fingerless gloves to her seemingly worn-in bomber jacket, reminiscent of elementary school play dates, her nonchalant attitude is the perfect finish to her cool, masculine look.

Typically the only place you'd see overalls and Timberland boots together is on a construction site, but this season has redefined the once greasy look into one of class and cool.

From her 

Tailored pants, collared shirt, and oversized coat in all rich wool textiles, with oxford leather boots. A straight-up, masculine look centered around the classically chic, oversized statement coat.

A leather jumpsuit topped off with a masculine wool blazer and tousled blonde locks. 

Effortless. Elegant. Cool.

This look is centered around layers on top of layers. Her slim cut trousers are paired with a casual hoodie and two knee-length coats, serving the dual purpose of style and warmth. An olive beanie keeps the look relaxed and nonchalant.

   

These masculine ensembles have a lot of look, centering on the grayscale maxi-length outerwear.

According to Lucky magazine's Winter Street Style, "opting for maxi-length outerwear is smart for two reasons: not only is it undeniably dramatic, but it also gives you a little more leeway when it comes to what you later underneath." 

Mix a little feminine chicness to an otherwise masculine outfit and you've got a street style show stopper.
