Timeless and versatile...

No matter the season, polka dots never go out of fashion. It should go without saying that every wardrobe needs a polka dot blouse or shirt. The simple spot-print design is a capsule wardrobe staple that is always worth investing in and can be worn casually or dressed up.

The polka dot design has been around centuries, dating as far back as the 1700's. Since then the pattern has grown in popularity and is always seen on catwalks throughout the different seasons.

The polka dot design is totally timeless and while the black and white combination might be the most popular colorway, the design can look great big or small and can work with many other hues.

When styling the print, team your spotty long sleeve top with wide-leg or tailored trousers to the office or pair with a denim midi skirt or jeans for casual days.

If you are looking for more of an evening polka dot blouse or shirt, you may consider opting for those with flattering details such as ruffles, v necklines or peplum or tie waists. Differently if you looking for more of a relaxed fit to your blouse or shirt, try ones with minimal details but alternative colours.

Just experiment until you find the style and shape of polka dot blouses and shirts that work for you and soon enough, you'll be rocking yours for many years to come.Here are 12 of our favourite polka dot tops to shop now...
