Two-Pieces 

For a more casual look, mix and match co-ord pieces with your everyday outfits to add a pop of pattern. Pair breathable linen trousers with a chic polka blouse, or combine a polka print maxi skirt with a coordinating top in black or white..

Maxi Dresses

For a glossier way to wear polka dots, go for an all-out dotty dress that steals the spotlight, either with ruffles or coordinating slinky scarves to throw over the shoulder. Don’t lose faith if you lean more towards minimalism  – from specks of spots to loud and proud dots, there’s an evening dress for everyone.

Mini Dresses 

A simple statement piece for the warmer months, mini dresses are a must-have, and with Google searches for polka dot mini dresses at an all-time high, now is the perfect time to complete your wardrobe with a spotty staple. From bubble hem mini dresses to strapless bandeau styles, the options are endless.

Shoes

Don’t worry, the dots don’t stop there – kitten heels are perfect for that slight elevation in both height and style, while flats can bring both comfort and elegance as the warmer months approach.
