HOW TO WEAR POLKA DOTS FOR SPRING

FOUNTAIN OF 30 FASHION TRENDS

“”

This year I went from a polka-dot trend despiser to a fan! When polka dots are done right (like Saint Laurent  on the runway) they can be elegant, classic, spirit-lifting and/or retro…in a good way!

HOW TO  WEAR THE POLKA DOT TREND  FOR SPRING 2023

POLKA DOTS ON THE RUNWAY  FOR SPRING 2023

SAINT LAURENT      BURBERRY    PROENZA SCHOULER

The simplest way to emulate the YSL look is with a black and white polka dot blouse with black pants (and yes I recommend wearing dark sunglasses too).

POLKA DOT BLOUSE 

Burberry and Proenza Schouler mixed their polka dot prints. An easier way is to find a polka-dot piece that is color-blocked. The mixing is already done for you.

MIXED DOT PRINTS

Avoid the ruffled, puff-sleeved, dowdy, vintage 1920s to 1940s style midi-dresses in polka-dot prints. 

POLKA DOT DRESSES TO AVOID

Go for a silhouette that is sleeker or more modern. When it comes to  polka-dot dresses, look for unusual draping, clean and simple looks or  asymmetrical hems.

POLKA DOT DRESSES

When you add a polka-dot bag, shoes, scarf or headband to any outfit, that accessory will really stand out and make a statement.
