POLKA DOTS ARE A LA MODE

Let's play a little mind game, ready?

CLUE #1: Think of a playful pattern that always pops up in every designer's collection.
CLUE #2: Designers like Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg and others find it hard to avoid this pattern last fall fashion.
CLUE #3: This pattern consists of an array of filled circles equally sized and equally spaced closely in relation with their diameters.

Quick! Can you guess now? Yep, I'm talking about polka dots.

Polka dots are usually in red, blue, black and white. It is believed that their name is derived from polka music that became popular in Britain in the late 1900's.

This pattern of circles or dots were popular for men in the past. Today it is not as common to see men wearing a shirt with this playful patter unless you are a musician or performing onstage. But I always believe that I am a rockstar, and with my barrier-breaking mentality and flair for style and individuality, wearing polka dots is a great alternative for my usual basic wardrove. Remember that fashion can help us underline our individuality and dots are the easiest way to make a fashion statement as they go with everything and come in a variety of sizes and colors. They bring a lot of fun to an outfit making all the difference and taking any outfit out of the simple zone towards sophistication.They are a classic in the fashion industry making a constant comeback so why not give them a try and make your outfit scream for attention.
