Polka dots will always be one of any lady’s favourite wears. This implies that it is rare to find someone who does not like polka dots. To revive this ‘70s fashion staple, you need a few polka-dot dress outfit ideas. From flowing one-pieces and ruffled tops to formal gowns and skirts, you can wear them all – but keep in mind to not go with trends. The best way to sport polka looks is to break away from the stereotype and look at them differently. You can pair them with plaids, florals, and prints, and play around with colours.
We bring to you 5 tricks to wearing polka dots. Scroll down!
1. Black and white off-shoulder gowns
How about an off-shoulder gown that hugs you in all the right places? It brings out the best of the pattern and your figure! It is simply elegant, nobody can resist.
2. Blue and white polka slit dress
Put on the most important ‘accessory’ you have- confidence and strut around like a diva in this ultra-chic slit dress. A slick bun, silver pumps, a belt, and angular shades add up to a hundred to create the ‘wow’ effect.
3. Polka dot jacket
This is another signature piece with this evergreen print that you can add to your wardrobe. Go for a monochrome or a full black outfit and finish it off with a polka dot jacket. It is neither too loud nor too low. It is just perfect. Feel free to add a pop of colour with red pumps.
4. Polka dot shirt and suit
Swap the crisp white shirts, well-fitted trousers, and perfectly tailored blazers for a polka dot shirt and suit.
5. Brown Polka Dress
After the signature black and white polka dots print, brown is next. Though understated and almost like a style underdog, brown gowns, sweaters, wrap-around tops, and pencil skirts are all minimalistic, subtle, and classy ways of incorporating the polka print.
