These ‘80s-inspired prints equal a fresh look that is simply expressive and fun. Marc Jacobs paid homage to all things ‘80s at his Marc by Marc Jacobs runway show, sending a clear message through the fashion circuit that the bold (and sometimes feared) era is back (marcjacobs.com). Work this trend into your wardrobe with Pitaya’s “Abstract-Print Satin Pencil Skirt” in “Hunter” ($29; 1463 Milwaukee Ave; pitayaonline.com) and the Silence and Noise “Geometric Back Cami” at Urban Outfitters ($32; urbanoutfitters.com), which adds an interesting vibe to such a basic garment. Topshop’s “Starlight One Shoulder Dress” ($100; topshop.com) has three of this season’s major trends covered: the one-shoulder neckline, neon hues, and a structured pattern. For a statement-making ensemble, pair this dress with a bright yellow cardigan, anchored with a thin, black belt, and this Sam Edelman “Queenie” bootie ($149; samedelman.com). These highly anticipated lace-ups won’t be available until November, and I can hardly wait.

When wearing geometric patterns, you really have the freedom to go bold or soften the look with some classic pieces. Either way, if you do the math to balance each outfit, you can make a statement all your own. If only geometry class had been this easy…
