Toyin Lawani’s love for the vintage era has been cleverly emphasized and she goes to show that any fashion forward woman can still look chic and sophisticated wearing the dotted look by keeping it classic.

Style Tips:
Pair them with great classic pieces such as a nice leather handbag, nude jacket or black cigarette jeans. Keep your jewellery simple too, dots bling do not always match.

The polka dots should be proportional to your shape, so if you are have a big bust; the print should be slightly larger to balance a bigger chest. Conversely, if you're petite on top, the polka dots should be smaller to keep things proportional.

Polka dots are a cheery print that can bring an element of fun to your wardrobe. Just remember to keep things proportional and simple, and to pair polka dots alongside solid, neutral pieces.
