Prints and patterns: Polka Dots

It seems like this season is going to be a fun one. The cheerful polka dots pattern is not a retro cliché anymore. Designers made it look modern and fresh for this season.

Now it’s all about contrast and size. The bigger the dots are…the better. They were seen on dresses, skirts and shirts and even on fashion accessories like scarves and hosiery.

But even if this season’s trends allow any colour combination, you should stick to a classy chromatic scheme: white, black, red and purple. That is if you want a polished look instead of a childish one.
