Join the Dots: Top Picks to Nail the Season’s Polka-Dot Trend

From ruffled silks and midi-skirts, to off-shoulder shirts and maxi dresses, the polka-dot gets a grown-up makeover this season; here’s how we’ll be wearing it

Compiled by Joy Montgomery

We’re welcoming the polka-dot back into our wardrobes with a variety of oh-so-pretty pieces that are perfect for making a statement this season. For AW17 the print is hugely feminine, with coin-sized dots adorning silk shirts, off-shoulder blouses and floaty midi-skirts. Loewe and Jonathan Anderson plastered them across tightly-pleated and ruffled silks while at Jacquemus they took on a gypsy vibe; think Parisian girl goes bohemian. The nostalgic print is certainly back with a bang so we’ve picked out a few key products to really nail the trend this autumn. Here’s how we’ll be wearing it…
