Fashion People in NYC Are All About These 2 Chic, Timeless Prints RN
Spotted in NYC—in the West Village and LES—fashion insiders are flirting with this summer's playful prints. Polka dots started popping up this spring on sidewalks and runways alike. Think Moschino F/W 25 and Vivienne Westwood F/W 25.
The timeless dots have coupled up with the city's most stylish. I'm talking about romantic skirts and spotted slip dresses. While it may seem polka dots have won the hearts of NYC's It crowd, a new bombshell has arrived. Gingham's been seen everywhere—on head-to-toe sets, retro-chic capris, and picnic-ready styles—cozying up to NYC's most fashionable across Manhattan.
In honor of this summer love triangle, I went on the hunt for the best gingham and polka-dot outfit inspiration so you can decide which print will win your heart.
