Fashion director Shelly Vella shows you how.
There is something timeless about the polka dot and that’s exactly why it’s a wardrobe classic – find your perfect piece and you can wear it year after year. To transition into the new season, layer a spotty summer dress or skirt with a tailored jacket or slim-fit knit and remember, this is one print you can play with – so mix and clash sizes of dots or colours for maximum effect. If in doubt, a dotty accessory gets my vote.
How to power up polka dots:
Mix it up
For a dynamite duo, wear fine stripes under a dotty playsuit. Finish the look with a shot of red.
Keep it timeless
Small polka dots give a dress classic clout while a contrast collar and nipped-in waist up the sleek.
Get playful
Spotty accessories are a winning detail and will add a little fun to a full-on dotty ensemble.
