It’s not uncommon for people to shy away from spots because without well thought out styling, it can feel a bit overbearing.

I’ve surprised myself this year with the amount of spots I own. This puffy dress from Miss Selfridge concealed my early pregnancy bump and I adore my gorgeous H&M spotty maxi dress that was seen literally all over Instagram. There was also this beautiful green and black polka dot dress and one of my favourite yellow/black spot Ganni dresses. Not forgetting of course, this dress of dreams with huge, puffy sleeves.

Now a lot of those looks were in the warmer months and granted, it’s often easier to style outfits in the Summer. However, I don’t think spots should be reserved only for sunny days.

With a little bit of inspiration, it’s so easy to work polka dots into your wardrobe. I usually treat polka dot as the base layer and work from it, keeping the rest of my outfit plain coloured but with a considered focus on texture and accessories. I’ve compiled 5 of my favourite new season looks, some a mix of high street and high end, some purely high street. My favourite has to be the Winter Warmers look! What is yours?
