Going Dotty? You’re right on trend. One of fashion’s most versatile patterns (perhaps second only to the humble stripe) is having a resurgence across the entire wardrobe. From dresses to accessories, here’s how to work it into yours.

The Picnic

Scatter polka dots from neck to toe with a drop-waist minidress and knee-high socks. Add interesting accessories such as animal-print loafers, a picnic basket-style bag and a fun hat.

1. Cider socks, $13. 2. Lack of Colour hat, $179. 3. NA-KD dress $85.95. 4. Amber Sceats earrings, $159. 5. Louis Vuitton bag. $7500. 6. Shevoke sunglasses, $210. 7. H&M shoes, $49.99.

The Night Out

Start the night in a ruffly, dotty dress that says you’re out for a good time. Once the sun sets, protect against the chill with a spotty cardie, and finish the look with dashes of burgundy.

1. Princess Polly bracelets, $35. (for set) 2. Matteau sunglasses, $340. 3. Ganni cardigan, $685. 4. Megan Park earrings, $129. 5. Zara dress, $119. 6. Studio Amelia bag $495. 7. Studio Amelia shoes, $650.

The Beach

Play with scale: mini dots on a bikini, larger dots on a skirt and hat. Brown and baby blue is an iconic colour duo, so go all out. And note that cream and gold accessories match perfectly.

1. Lack of Color hat, $119. 2. Friends with Frank top, $139. 3. Arms of Eve earrings, $99. 4. Charles & Keith bag, $136. 5. Matteau bikini top, $160, and bottoms, $160. 6. Bec + Bridge skirt, $260. 7. Maison Ella bracelet, $98. 8. Alias Mae shoes, $229.95.

The Weekend

If you’re not ready to fully commit to the trend, test the waters with accessories first. They’ll add a dose of fun to an already chic look, such as jeans and a great white shirt.
