Dress from forever 21
Did you know that polka dots is a 2020 trend? I bet you didn’t know. 😆
Well, this is why you have me, to dish out all the style trends you need to know and have in your closet.
Some people feel styling polka can be complicated and a tad- bit difficult to style , but, not to worry , i am here to help solve that problem.
The focus in this tutorial is this pastel polka dot wrap dress. I chose this dress as it is more versatile to get more wear from it and have fun while styling it. so, here goes..
Look 1: Wrap Around
Just to show you how amazing and easy it is to style a polka dot dress, you can simply wear it as it is. just add fun statement shoes like this Valentino rock studs and some statement jewelry and you are good -to- go.
Look 2: Show some hot legs
Throw on a tank top and your sexiest mini skirt, layer up with a polka dot wrap dress and stunt on them with your bad self, lol.
If your feel a little too exposed in this outfit or not so confident in it, simply wrap the dress up but leave some room to show off your legs. Add some nice strappy heels and accessories and let your light shine through.
Bonus tip: drizzle some baby oil on your legs for some shine or show less skin by wearing lacy panty hose to maintain the sexy theme.
Look 3: Go extra comfy with it.
For a more laid back, casual look, simply wear a T-shirt of your choice. I chose white to blend with the white dots on the dress, but you can go with whatever color of T- shirt you desire ,i added some boyfriend jeans and a white pair of sneakers for a very chilled laid back look.
The key is to wear a T-shirt and any style of jeans you own in your closet and have the dress work as a jacket or kimono for you, the sneakers tops it up to achieve that casual look we are going for.
Look 4: Dress it up
One of the easiest way to style this polka dot dress, is to wear a slip dress with it. simply whip out that sultry slip dress and feel all so girly in this look, add a belt for that extra hour glass look and don’t forget to play with some nice stand out accessories, like a head band which are very on trend at the moment or nice earrings and comfy shoes to seal the look.
Look 5:
Who says you can’t have a girl about town look wearing polka dots?
well, its super easy to slay and turn heads in polka dots by adding black body suit and a pair of leggings , this ultimately transforms this simple dress to a stunner.
The trick is to wear a contrasting color to your dress, in this case i added black, if your dress is black, you can still add black or a pop of color like red ,navy, nude or even pink. make sure your layering pieces are form fitting, it could even be a body con dress.
All you need are killer heels, statement accessories and that Naomi Campbell walk!!
I hope you found this very useful and will try the polka dot trend.

Shirt Dress from Zara
Nude and neutrals are very easy seamless colors to style and they are must have have in your closet. They serve as an alternative to the color white. Also, the utilitarian trend ( pieces with outer pockets )is also a hit this year, so why not try two trends in one.
The style focus is a nude utilitarian shirt dress and the functionality of it.
Look 1: Tres Chic
Style this dress by undoing some buttons on the top and the base , so you can show a little skin if that is your jam, if not just wear it as it is.
Throw on a nice pair of mules of your choice, either chunky, high or kitten heel mules to give it an extra chic look, don’t forget to add some gold or fun accessories to finish this look.
Look 2: Rock Star
For a retro and funky look, throw on a denim jacket and some some boots,and get ready to rock and roll. If you do not have a pair of boots, simply opt for a pair of ankle length shoes, and don’t forget to throw on some dark shades. it sure will do the trick.
Look 3: Two- piece magic
For a more playful look, layer this dress with a floral skirt, which turns it to a two- piece look, so chic and very stylish. I added a belt to break this look so it really does look like a two serprate pieces and threw on a pair of mules to elevate this look.
The trick to achieve this, is to wear either a long or midi length skirt.
Look 4: `Glam Bam
To elevate this look three notches higher, I went with a pair of fringed out boot leg denim, tucked in one side of this dress threw on a nice pair of pointed kitten heel shoes.
Bonus tip: Un-button one side of the dress, tuck it in loosely into a gorgeous pair of pants , add some statement earrings, for a more glam look, in this case, i added long fringed earrings to go with the fringe on my denim pants.
Look 5: Cover Up
This dress can jolly well serve as a cover up jacket on a night out.
To achieve this look, I went for a leopard print body suit top paired with a pair of brown leather pants, gold statement earrings and finished off with a pair of snake skin print strappy heel.
Bonus tip: Pull out a sultry but comfortable look for a night out as you desire and opt for a shirt dress as a cover up jacket, jazz it up with statement shoes and accessories and get ready to hit the dance floor.
I hope you enjoyed this style tutorial and will try this trend with a little more zest like i did.
