Polka dots are a huge trend for this season, just step in to any high street shop and you’ll notice that right away.  Polka dots are on everything from tights to dresses to accessories – you name it and it’ll have spots on it!

Stella McCartney Polka Dot Dress:

Lots of ‘A list’ stars have embraced the polka dot trend through Stella McCartney’s very popular autumn collection, which comprises of slinky black dotty dresses with cut out sheer sections (see below).  Liv Tyler, Kate Winslet and Blake Lively are just a few of the A-listers who’ve been spotted in the dresses recently.  After the real dress?  Farfetch currently has one for sale at £1,141.  Click here.

It’s easy to see why the range is so popular.  Stella McCartney combines slinky silhouettes with fun and playful polka dots.  Images via Selfridges & FarFetch.

The celebrity spottings (pun intended) have led to a surge in popularity for the sheer black dress and polka dotted design.  In turn, this has paved the way for high street copies and imitations.
