Fashion - Stripes & Spots

I like both polka dots and stripes, so why wouldn’t I like them together? Even if you’re not a fan of either print, I think the combination is hip, fun and perfect for spring. You have a lot of options with how you mix and match. You can go striped shirt, polka dot bottom or vice-versa. Or, you can have both polka dots and stripes within the same piece of clothing. What makes it fun is the combination, so choose one that suits your style. I recommend sticking to one general color scheme. Since you have two significantly different prints, I wouldn’t go too crazy with a ton of colours or it might look like you just threw something on as you ran out the door. You want your outfit to look like an outfit not just random pieces you put on. Black and white is classic and can always work with a third complementary color. Also, you don’t have to do polka dots and stripes throughout the whole look. I like the idea of a pattern mixed top and a solid bottom. The options are endless and the look is classic, so have fun putting a new spin on a timeless trend.

Here we have Leighton Meester in Gossip Girl showcasing the timeless look of polka dots. I'm a big Bensoni fan and I think this dress is perfect Parisien because of the quirky dots. I love one shoulders on Blair's delicate frame, and this one has such a beautiful cut. Also, Taylor Swift has stepped out in a polka dot ensemble but with a twist showing her midriff with a long pencil skirt. So, whether you like Blair's look or Taylor's polka dots come in all shapes and sizes, however, it is a great way to show off this classic and elegant look. To try this look this Summer, head to Ted Baker or Miss Selfridge for this timeless look.




Lea Michele rocked a crop top the right way, styling it with a striped high waist pencil skirt, both by Tanya Taylor that revealed just a silver of skin. White Bionda Castana pumps completed her look. Therefore, this look is modern and fresh and a great look to go out for dinner or meeting the girls for a drink. To try this look, why not try Topshop or Zara for this great Summer trend....
