5 Ways To Wear: Polka Dots

Kourtney Kardashian

Early this year, polka dots got a sophisticated makeover during New York Fashion Week’s Fall 2012 presentations. Kate Spade decked her models out in the pattern right down to the decals on their nails. Louis Vuitton partnered with avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama on its new dotty collection. Marc Jacobs named his latest women’s fragrance Dot. See where I’m going with this?

Polka Dots are now a statement piece in itself. Using seven of our favorite celebrities and bloggers as inspiration, let’s see how we can work this print like grown-ups. Check it out.
