Dots make spots

Inherited from the 20's Polka dots still remain a classic element in the fashion history.
They are certainly one of the most eye-catching and striking prints whether we are talking about a clothing item or an accessory. They may look very difficult to match or too pretentious to work for every occasion.

However, dots can totally change a look and can transform any dull outfit into a chic, slightly retro and romantic look, even upper-feminine and sophisticated.

Therefore, it is very important to know when and especially how to wear them. 

How to wear polka dots?

The main rule

Polka dots are a very busy pattern; therefore the main rule says never to match many pieces with dots unless you want to turn your outfit into a great fiasco. A dress, a skirt, a shirt or a blazer can be enough. 




About matching accessories

Resist the temptation to use polka dot accessories and other prints together(except when pairing leopard pair of shoes) since other patterns are likely to clash with the dots. Stick with solid colors.

Choose a color to build your accessories around. Typically, it is best to match the color of your accessories to the color of the dots. This keeps things uniform and prevents your accessories from competing with the dress’s pattern. It also makes a bolder statement than matching your accessories to the background color of the dress.
