Call it fun, edgy, feminine or deliciously summer, the polka dots are here to stay. They give off an effortless sense of style and make even the most mundane of outfits a solid rocking piece.
Polka dots, especially pattern-mixing (polka on polka, polka on floral, polka on stripes, polka on asymmetrical and so on) are in this season.
If you’re wondering how to rock this trend, we are here to help you out! Read on…
As a dress:
One of the easiest ways to rock this trend is to wear polka on you as a dress. Be it a frock, a one-piece or even a jumpie, polkas will look vibrant and stunning on any body type. You can pair them with a bright belt, statement shoes or watch. If you want to stand out this summer, grab a black polka dotted dress and wear it with a pair of bright green shoes. It will up your fashion quotient in an instant.
As a scarf:
Beginners can start off with a scarf or a stole, thrown casually over a plain dress or tee-jeans. The dotted scarf will add the right amount of zing to your outfit. It can turn any outfit into an edgy one with a riot of patterns. You can even wear it around your waist or across your bag to make your look bohemian.
Classic piece:
Pair your polkas with a classic bag, clutch or a blazer to tone the ‘zing’ down. Vivacious prints look chic against classic and vintage stuff. The sudden burst of fun, overshadowed by a statement piece will certainly make you the diva of your circle. If nothing else, go for a monotone bag or stole when wearing polkas, it will definitely elevate the look. Don’t believe us? Wear this combo and watch your friends go gaga over you!
Less of bling:
Blingy jewellery just does not go with polka. It clashes horribly, making you a big joke. So if you’re planning to wear polkas in a bright shade, opt for elegant silver jewellery that do not look brighter or bolder than the dots. Remember, these accessories should complement the outfit and stand out as the highlighting piece.
Mixmatched polkas:
One of the coolest ways to flaunt the dots this season is to go for the mixmatched variety where each dot is of a different colour. It will not only make you look uber cool, but also throw plenty of styling options to you.
While some may reserve polka dots for young girls and others may think of it’s as something that should be left in 70s, we can assure you that these hip designs are definitely here to stay.
If you feel like wearing them, do so with confidence and panache.
