Fall trend #4: Polka dots!

The next fall trend is a fun one: polka dots! Playful and adorable, polka dots make you want to smile at passersby. I can imagine Zooey Deschanel wearing them. Thoughts? Will you wear polka dots this fall?

Here are a few lovely polka-dot pieces: small tights, big tights, a top, a dress, a silk blouse and a skirt.

I love that sweater! And those tights! Ah. I love em. Definitely one of my favorite trends. And I love how polka dots have become so grown up & chic, no longer just associated with little girls.

Giulia said...

Polka dots (or petits pois) are a classic so I have some from the 1940s even...a silk scarf from an aunt...purchased in Paris. Woohoo.

Katie said...

Yes!! Love. Those little tights are so playful and fun.

I shot a wedding last weekend in the Meatpacking District and the bride wore a polka dot (black with white dots) dress. It was pretty sweet!

Kirsteen said...

I love polka dots! I have many items which have polka dots, they're just so cute and fun! Those tights are really cute! I must buy a similar pair :)

I don't really know whether I will be brave enough to wear polka dots this year, but I definitely love both the outfits you posted. They are perfect and I am looking for boots like the ones in the second picture.

Yes to polka dots!! Remember Carré Otis' guess ads from years ago with the polka dot headbands? I'll never forget those ads!! So classic and so Brigitte Bardot!! :)

AMELIA ALVAREZ said...

Love me some dots. Check these out http://www.clotheshorsenyc.com/2011/08/polkadots-and-moonbeams.html

Nomadic D. said...

Mmmm... I have mixed feelings about the dots, they have to be small, sort of vintage looking, and in small doses for me to get behind them. What I'm absolutely in love with though is that infinity scarf in the first photo. That thing is amazing!

I love polka-dots. Classic but fun. I was just coveting a sweet tailored dress in the boden catalog yesterday.

I have that polka dot sweater (or jumper, as we say!). I love it!

Coté Writes said...

Ooh, those polka-dot tights remind me so fondly of the heart/rainbow/star-speckled tights I wore as a child. I'm now on the hunt for the perfect, more adult version. ;)

Molliee said...

love that these polka dot pieces are not so in-your-face! so subtle and pretty!

Violet Boutique said...

Absolutely! This is one of my favorite trends for fall. Such a classic and fun way to add some playfulness to an outfit. Love! xo

Hiskia said...

<3 polka dots!! Not only me, also mini loves wearing them :-)

The Vox said...

Yes! Finally. I've been a polka dot fan for 5 years now. I need more polka dots in my wardrobe.

Sanna said...

Do do do do do! - My utterly ubiased, lately polka dot -obsessed opinion ;).

aorecord said...

I love both pieces, although I'm a fan of polka dotted hoses, I can't wear them. It looks weird on me =(

Pamela said...

I really love polka dots. I recently received a Boden polka dot shift dress that I wore and posted on my blog Monday. While the polka dots are whimsical the dress is very classic and "mad men" like. I loved it so much it became my header! Def a trend I'm enjoying this season.

hello. said...

i'll wear polka dots until i'm eighty!! love them, for every season. i've been searching for a pair of quality polka dot tights...but i still haven't found them.

Snappy Di said...

No... I don't wear polka dots because I AM one big round polka dot and I don't like to emphasize my roundness... LOL

Emma said...

Oh I adore polka dots! Always have, always will. Can't wait to wear them this fall!

Libby said...

the polka dots in the tights are called point d'esprit (french) and my wedding dress' lace is point d'esprit. it's what sold me on the dress almost immediately!

stellasstyle said...

i'd love a pair of polka dot tights to wear with shorts - supercute!

Baylee said...

I love, love, love polka dots. Those tights were amazing!!

etoilee8 said...

For those of you that want the cheaper alternative, Target has polka dot tights too. I grabbed up a pair today!

MJ said...

I LOVE polka dots. And just said "yes, yes" to plaid. But aren't they mutually exclusive? Or is that too old school?

Design Thoughts said...

Does anyone else remember the tights from being little that had red hearts on them??

I love the polka's!
