March is a transitional month for getting dressed. If you have asked the question, what to wear in NYC in March already, you are not alone. We are living through a grave crisis. The Corona virus has reached our country, and everyone is doing what the can to be responsible and safe. Stores are closed for now. They will reopen. And life will return to normal. While we are in social distancing, we can still dream. For now we can shop online. And good clothes never go out of fashion. You can think about adding these prints to you wardrobe, as dark ground prints are a great choice when you buy them in season-less fabrics. When you ask what to wear in March in NYC, the answer is geometric, ethnic, bold floral or romantic dark ground prints. Add some of these prints to your wardrobe. Let’s take a tour around the city to find the best prints.

A dark dress stands out in this paisley like print. Minis are hot this season. The ethnic inspired romantic printed blouse looks sharp when paired with skinny crop jeans and a sleek with coat. Opposites work together perfectly.

This Balenciaga dress is a classic.The neon colors really pop. Mixing bright colors on a dark ground clicks.

Dries Van Noten is a known flower lover. He has a famous garden in the country, and obviously gets inspiration for his famous floral prints like the dress seen here.

Here is another Dries print dress with a dark ground. This is a standout print and completely different that the one above. There are so many ways to wear this trend.

Prada has some great prints as well. I love this dress. The mix of print and stripe is deftly done. And shirt-dresses are a trend too.

Richard Quinn is a young British designer who is going places. His signature floral prints done on a grand scale. The printed coat goes beautifully with the neon pants.

Marni has some beautiful prints this season. Mixing the red flowers with a neutral ground is seasonless.

Also from Ganni are these dark ground prints. Whether it is a black ground with a neon yellow-green abstract print, or a tonal blue floral print, the clothes look fresh.

ALC has this beautiful mauve and pink print dress should be a go to piece in March as well as in September.

Red and purple ground prints from Bash are sophisticated and contemporary.

A halter mock neck and an uneven hem dress in a bright floral on a black ground is slimming. It works now, and when the weather gets cooler it would look good with a blazer.

Reformation loves prints. There are two dresses and a shirt here, with different prints, yet they all have a romantic feel that is a Reformation code.

Both of these prints have red in them. The prints are very different, and their message is slightly different. Both will brighten your day.

Mage, the French label, also has a group of dark ground prints.

Yellow and black floral prints look fresh here. I am not sure I would wear them with the animal print bottoms, but some might take a chance.

You can see what a big selection of dark ground prints are in stores in New York. Pick the one that is for you.
