If you thought it took the boldest of style setters to pull off the printed suit trend (we're looking at you, Solange), we have proof that the look is becoming a little more mainstream. We saw Emma Roberts (and Karolina Kurkova, and Nina Garcia) wearing one last night. With Prada's Fall printed suiting, the Resort '13 collections dotted with printed suits from Roberto Cavalli, DVF, and many more, and a Spring '13 forecast of print-on-print suit separates from Suno and J.Crew, we can safely say this is a trend that's coming to a retailer near you (and not likely to leave anytime soon). If you're skeptical of its wearability, this trio — from Karolina Kurkova, Emma Roberts, and Nina Garcia — made a real-life case for the look at their respective events last night, a testament to the fact that the fashion world's obsession with print is far from waning.

The latest incarnation is a more sophisticated play on the printed suit — and takes the guesswork out of outfitting mismatched patterns on your own (a suit jacket and trousers are meant to be worn together, after all). Just like our now-favorite printed pants and patterned jeans, we suspect printed suiting is already on a similar path to becoming the next trendy staple. Just think how chic a suit like Karolina's or Nina's would look at your Holiday party (and later on for a Spring cocktail fete, out to dinner, or at the office — that's the definition of a closet staple, no?).

Varsity jackets are having a huge moment right now. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Rihanna has been sporting the, well, sporty style. And the latest to hop on the trend is Karolina Kurkova. While strolling the streets of NYC, the supermodel showed off a black and white varsity jacket with black leather Citizens of Humanity jeans ($229), a white silk blouse, and black flats. A navy drawstring bag stayed with her sporty theme, while geometric sunglasses added chic. Next time you throw on your letterman jacket, look to Karolina by pairing it with leather pants and a silky blouse.

Because there's nothing worse than running into someone you know when you're sporting your I-just-rolled-out-of-bed sweatpants, we firmly believe that your off-duty ensembles should look just as cool as anything you'd pull together on a weekday. With that in mind, Karolina Kurkova provided some worthy end-of-the-week inspiration to put to good use all weekend long. In a perfect mix of trendier Fall staples, like a great pair of coated red skinnies and lace-up field boots, and essentials, like a go-to black knit, Karolina managed to achieve that vibe we're always seeking: effortlessly attired and still totally on point. Swap out your college sweats and faded jeans for a weekend ensemble that's actually just as easy to throw on but infinitely more appealing with a little Karolina-inspired shopping right here.
