Making outfits look lavish and expensive on a college budget can be a difficult task, but baroque-printed clothing may be a perfect way to bridge the gap. Dolce & Gabanna, Marni, and Etro have sent high-dollar Rococo-inspired damask prints down the runway, but there are plenty of affordable options available.

When baroque-inspired patterns are worn on a dress, skirt, or top, they can add an extra level of interest to a plain outfit. We're obsessed with the dress from ASOS for formals or fancy nights out, while the cute top from Urban Outfitters would be perfect to layer under a scarf and sweater for class.
