Time and time again, polka dots have firmly cemented themselves as one the most perpetual print trends, and they’re showing no signs of disappearing as we head towards the transitional season.
And while classic black and white spots will always have a place in any fashionable woman's heart, the latest take is all about softer and richer colour combinations that make the print feel fresh. Bonus points for the fact they’re surprisingly easy to wear, working with everything from airy poplin skirts to tailored trousers and - it seems ridiculous saying this during a heatwave- denim.
Of course, affordable fashion brands have taken note, and Sainsbury’s is one of the best to take head of the trend, as proven by their Shirred Sleeveless Spotted Top. Instead of monochrome colours, they've swapped classic dotty patterns for three particularly chic spotted colour combinations: dark red with pink, navy with white and pale pink and chocolate brown.
Tu Dark Red Shirred Sleeveless Spotted Top
Crafted from 100% cotton, each top comes with a flattering crew neckline, nipped in waist and elevated shirred fabric - not forgetting a peplum silhouette that pays homage to the late noughties trend.
Each style works just as well for summer as it does for the transitional season ahead. Dress it up with tailored trousers for the office or pair with your favourite loose fit trousers for of -duty days, making the most of wardrobe workhorses you already own. I have a pair of white jeans that I’m itching to wear the staple with, finished with ballet flats or simple sandals.
