Celebrities are becoming more daring with polka dots, and we love it. Polka dots have always had a certain ladylike and trendy retro vibe. Ever since the revival of retro prints last year, it was evident that polka dots would become a cult-buy amongst many. We aren’t surprised by the trend because they are too cute and cool to be locked away for too long. Just as brands and bloggers are taking this trend by its stride, we spotted fashionistas rocking it effortlessly.

This trend initially began with accessories like neckties, scarfs and a little ‘mix and match’ with neutral colours. However, recently, fashionistas have found more adventurous ways to incorporate them into their wardrobe. They have given the once old-fashioned trend a makeover, and everyone wants a spotty print in their closet. By incorporating their personal style into it, the look has become more versatile.

The aim is to make them look as modern as possible, but many have failed at modernising this retro trend. Fortunately, that’s where fashionistas come in, by schooling you on how to style as they do. There are several ways you can incorporate them into your wardrobe. We’ve taken tips from celebrities and fashionistas from around the world for this. Try out some and share your pictures with us on Instagram to get featured.

Simple tips for wearing polka dots

You can splice two or more spotty prints together in different shades to make a bold statement.

Some polka dot dresses need little-to-no styling, and you can slay in simple heels and nothing else. Also, include accessories in the same shade to give you a sleek and modern look. You can add a stylish blazer to look classy. Accessorise with a spotty satin bag to stand out in the street style crowd.
