This month stylist picks are all about stripes, pastel and polka dots – be sure to be spotted sporting spots this Spring/Summer and remember polka dots have made a come-back. Spice up your wardrobe with these dots, whether this print is all over or just used as an accent (think shoes/bags/stockings/scarves), just make sure its incorporated.
When it comes to stripes, lets get one thing straight – the bolder the better. You can even mix stripes with one another, either larger stripes with thinner ones, or different directionalities. Experimenting with contrasting prints is something I've always been drawn to but I've never been able to find prints that can complement each other well. So, I don't usually mix a lot of prints together because, lets' face it, it's quite a challenge.
I love that it gives my overall outfit a quirky yet chic look. It is always best to keep your stripes and polka dots on top, by wearing these prints on your bottom half. The best places to find amazing polka dot printed pieces are in vintage/thrift shops.
Do you go dotty for polkas? Also a classic. They are sexier than stripes, though. Polka thought from you?
It is always best to keep your stripes and polka dots on top, by wearing these prints on your bottom half.
The ultimate look for Spring/Summer is to mix and match your prints; Spots and Stripes are where it’s at. The combo can be a bit overwhelming so be careful when selecting your prints and colour scheme. But not to fear, if this all makes you a bit nervous, stick with one of these prints and you’ll still be spot on with this fashion trend 
.
There is just no limit to the way you can show your spots!
Don't be intimidated by the boldness of the print and embrace it whole heartedly this season. If you are a print novice, we suggest limiting yourself to one polka dotted piece at a time for a sophisticated on trend look. For the more spirited fashionistas, there is just no limit to the way you can show your spots. Wear them on their own or mix them with another pattern, go with a classic black & white palette or wear it wildly in brighter combinations.
The trick to this trend is not to go overboard (no pun intended), and remember less is more.
