Welcome back to Neighborhood Style Showdown, our quest to determine New York City's most stylish neighborhood.

It's now officially time to kick off Round 2, which puts The Lower East Side up against The West Village. The former: best known for a casual-yet-sexy type of attire, thanks to store likes Spiritual America and The Reformation. The latter: casual-yet-ultra-luxe, courtesy of Marc Jacobs and Mulberry. So which wins? Cast your vote in the poll after the jump.

Update: The West Village wins! Tomorrow, they'll move on to the final round against either Tribeca or Soho. Stay tuned!
