Polka Dots: How to get it right!
With polka dots, you can look super elegant and sophisticated. However, you could also look like Minnie Mouse. So, let's explore the dos and don'ts of wearing polka dots in the below tips.
Keep it simple
In respect of polka dots, or any other pattern for that matter, it is best to keep the styling of the garment as simple as you can, in order to attain that chic look you are after.
Less is more
In this case, it simply means that the less polka dot items you wear the more stylish you will look. Wear only one piece of clothing OR accessory. Not two. Not three.
More than one piece and the overall look will be too fussy and overdone. Don't let those polka dots claim all the limelight!
Colours with polka dots
Polka dots garments in dark colours are the most wearable, such as black and navy. The cool thing about that is that they are so easy to accessorise. Just keep the rest of the outfit in these colours.
However, a surprising thing to do is to add a bright colour to these two. Wearing one accessory such as a belt, scarf or even shoes in a bright and contrasting colour will add a third dimension to the look, with fresh and exciting results.
FINALLY: try to draw the line at polka dots leggings and multi-coloured dots. They just won't do.
