Polka dots and sexy spots are one of those style trends that just go round in, eh, circles.
It's one of the most versatile of prints, working beautifully in the playground or in the office, on a 50s-style siren or on a modern silhouette.
You can go full on dotty with a full length jacket or dress, or just flirt with the trend in a tee or printed jeans. And if you are are a bit afraid of this rockabilly favourite, you can play with a little flash of spotty accessories.
