Polka dots have made a strong comeback from spring/summer 2010 and it looks like they're here to stay. While polka dots may seem complicated, too young, or even too difficult to match, a few simple rules can help you transform any dull outfit into a chic, slightly retro and romantic look, even uber-feminine and sophisticated.
The key to polka dots, and the main rule, is to keep it simple - a dress, a skirt, a shirt or a blazer can be enough. If you're nervous about wearing polka dots at all, start by choosing only one accessory such as a scarf, a belt, a handbag and even shoes.
For an office summer look, a pleated dress will give you just the right amount of femininity and elegance. As for colors, a white dress with black dots is the best and safest choice. You can also match a black pleated skirt with white dots, a blouse with short sleeves and a bolero or a blazer. You can play a little bit and choose colored accessories especially.
For a night out with friends, match a pair of skinny jeans, a strapless breezy blouse with dots and high-heeled sandals, or team black high-waisted shorts and a red blouse with dots, and high heels.
For a more formal evening event, a '70s style black dress with white dots and high-heeled sandals is the perfect pair. Accessorize the outfit with a simple clutch and a pair of pearl earrings.
For Fall pair a pretty polka dot sweater with skinny jeans and boots or flats, or keep it simple and choose polka dot accessories like those below.
