How to wear polka dots

man i wish this thread was how NOT to wear polka dots. that would be more interesting!

i think polka dots looks good on every female body type. i don't think it looks good on men, unless you're going for the androgynous look. i also say stay with basic colors, the pattern of polka dots is enough. anyway, i love the dresses posted above.

My grandfather wore polka dot ties ... I love a man who can pull them off. He also wore raw silk ... so tall and elegant with his beautiful shock of white hair :heart:
 
Polka dots can be so cute, but never cute as an entire outfit.

Maybe a scarf or pleated skirt, but a top and bottom of dots is tacky. :yuk:
 
^ I've seen it done well :wink:

Love the skort, wiw ... the buttons are especially great :heart:
 
^Ty..& for the lovely karma, too... :heart:

Maybe I'm mad..
but the idea of combining polka dots of diff. sizes, colors, styles
seems quite fun to me...
It's a challenge... ! :blush:
 
^ Still clearing out old magazines, & just came across an article in an old Lucky that was all about polka dots ... they had several combinations of polka dots that worked. Perhaps you're like me & want to do whatever people say can't be done :wink: But let's say you had white on white, or red on white, polka dots ... either would be super easy to combine with your skort.
 
^ Agreed.
I don't see why it'd be difficult...
Since polka dots are available in such a variety these days...
I like the idea of mixing classic polka dots w/
modern, updated polka dots...
Something abstract...
Or something like the dress softgrey posted^...
If that dress were a top, I think it would look rly nice with my skort...
