Trend | Polka dots

how to wear polka dots

Give the stripes and florals a break (for now!) and opt for polka dots in bold black and white for a fresh take on spring/summer style.  Monochrome spots were dotted across models at Dolce & Gabbana in Flamenco inspired dresses for SS15 and teamed with tough leather and sheer fabrics at Emanuel Ungaro for AW15.

Style tips

Take inspiration from the runways and edge up your spots for evening with leather or give your look a Spanish twist with ruffles. Or go dotty in the daytime with one of these looks styled by yours truly.  Just add colour, denim and a metallic accessory.
Girly lunch, playdate, or school run, there’s a spotty style for all shapes, sizes and occasions.
