Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that the colour combination of the season is blue and brown. As for the pattern that's accompanying this colour coalition? It's none other than polka dot, and I think it's given the classic dotty motif an upgrade for the year ahead.
On the surface, the colour/print combination may strike you as unconventional and unlikely to pair well together, but your favourite fashion brands (both affordable and high-end) have proven otherwise.
The clever marriage of cool blue and warm brown creates a visually appealing, high-contrast touch that looks especially interesting. So it's no wonder that, when combined with timeless polka dot, it results in a joyful yet polished formula that is proven to work. Just ask some of the most stylish women out there.
So, for journalism purposes - also known as staying on top of the fashion trends - I've found five must-have brown and blue polka dot staples set to upgrade your wardrobe with ease.
