Although it’s such a classic pattern, polka dots have somewhat dropped off our radar of late, having been overtaken by checks and pinstripes. Still, that’s not to say they don’t have their fans, as these Shentonistas demonstrate. While some may have eschewed them for subtlety, these spots remain versatile, allowing you to add just the right amount of detail to a monochromatic outfit, or make a statement when showcased alongside vibrant colours. If you’d like to have a bit of fun with your ensemble, turn heads by matching a polka-dotted bag to your look; otherwise, keep it simple with smaller prints that also serve to flatter the silhouette. Whether you’re feeling bold or want to keep it casual, here’s more reason to step out of line and go a little dotty.
