Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Polka Dots

This Spring and Summer polka dots are not just for your itsy bitsy tiny weeny yellow bikini! Polka dotted prints were all over the SS2010 runways in all different sizes and colors (Above: 3.1 Philip Lim; Derek Lam; Marc by Marc Jacobs; Marni). While I'm not a huge fan of this trend, I don't really hate it either. Polka dots are classic and really never go out of style. I think the key is to not get carried away with the print. Also, remember that it is on-trend to mix a polka dot print with a contrasting print (i.e., stripes) in a similar color this Spring and Summer!
