Each season print is a major trend. Last season was all about stripes, A/W11 is the season of spots – from Stella McCartney’s sexy sheer polka dot dresses to Marc Jacobs’ fun, cute and quirky polka trousers suits.
Unlike the catwalk however we don’t recommend wearing this trend head-to-toe. Mix a polka dot blouse with soft tailored trousers and simple courts. Or make a statement with a casual look and team a polka dot bag with your parka and jeans.

Paloma Heels
We are obsessed with Charlotte Olympia. Her quirky yet sophisticated shoes seem to be top of our wish list season after season.
Camel Polka Dot Shift Dress
This cute dress is very Marc by Marc Jacobs. Team with thick opaques and black flats for a 60s twist on the trend.
Clutch
This clutch is so sleek and simple. Dress it up with your LBD or down with prints and denim.
Polka Dot Silk Blouse
Jaeger always design fabulous blouses but this season this polka piece has to be our favourite. Keep it relaxed with cropped jeans and a tailored blazer.
Luther Slipper
Slippers are a massive trend this season. Wear with skinny cropped trousers and a simple polo-neck for a retro look.
Polka Dot Trouser
These elegant wide leg trousers are definitely catwalk worthy. Channel your inner Katherine Hepburn and team with a silk blouse and some killer heels.
Tencel Jacket
A simple black blazer is a must for this trend. Whilst head to toe polka looks fabulous on the catwalk it’s a little full on for most.
Paul Smith Reversible Scarf
Two trends in one – polka dot and the boyfriend trend. Team with a classic overcoat and brogues.
Inferno Boots
Rupert Sanderson is the go-to designer brand for boots. Well-made, beautifully designed and most importantly they are always so comfortable. Buy now and you will wear season after season.
Richmond Bag
We simply love this Hermes inspired bag at StyleNest HQ. Also available in orange for those looking for a pop of colour.
Wolford Bonny Dots Tights
Cheat your way to the Stella McCartney polka dot look with these tights. Team with a classic LBD and some killer heels.
Knitted Mesh Jumper
Inspired by Stella McCartney’s mesh polka dot dresses, this Topshop jumper is a great way to channel this fun and quirky trend.
