Quick Tips for Styling Polka Dots:

• Quick and simple: Keep the rest of your outfit a block colour & let the polka dots be the main focus. Especially if you’re new to adding print in your wardrobe

• Mix dot sizes (e.g. black and white polka dot top + bold dot skirt) for a fashion-forward look.

• Pair with modern accessories to avoid going too vintage unless that’s your vibe.

Now let’s get into some style ideas below. ..

Easing into this print with a Polka Dot Skirt:

Spotted skirts are my first port of call with this trend. Particularly as the print is away from your face so you won’t feel like its too much change too quickly if you're the kind of person that really wants to ease into this print or gradually add it into your wardrobe - this is the most practical way. Most of us have a plain black or plain white top of some kind in our wardrobe so you won’t have to rethink of an entire new outfit at added cost either.

Relaxed every day skirt

More of a relaxed summer style - perfect to throw on with a simple Tshirt and you’re good to go. You could also dress this up with a plain off the shoulder style top too.

This is a New Look find under €30 here in sizes 8-22.
