Trend: Polka Dots

Get ready to see spots in 2020! This year is all about polka dots in a classic black and white palette. As we kick off a new decade, the playful pattern is an easy way to infuse a sense of optimism into your wardrobe.

 

Anyone can pull off polka dots—the key is to focus on a stellar fit.
