Polka dots are back — here’s how to embrace fashion’s favourite retro print


High contrast, monochromatic polka dots are back, and we couldn’t be happier. An unfailing fashion formula, whether in micro dots or oversized spots, floaty silk or draped chiffon, this iconic print brings whimsy and classic charm to traditional silhouettes and ultra-feminine fits. Think Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman or Claudia Schiffer circa ’95. Connect the dots and don top to toe.
