Connecting the Dots

Rocking polka dots at work is the trend to beat this season.

Little PINK Book loves this polished pattern. It’s timeless but not boring. Since dotted duds come in so many styles, we rounded up some options to keep you looking spot-on.

You can opt for classic navy and white like Michelle Obama. Channel Elizabeth Banks by going for a bold red style. Tie the look together with a bright shoe like Demi Moore. Or take a cue from Giuliana Rancic by sporting spotted separates.

This dotted ruffle dress from Neiman Marcus needs minimal accessories. Just throw on a blazer or solid-colored cardigan and you’re out the door.

Polka dot blouses instantly spiff up those same old suit pants. This structured top from Ann Taylor is conservative enough for a corporate environment, while this airy blouse from Bloomingdale’s fits right in to a more laid-back office.

Bonus: You can pair either with jeans for an equally charming weekend look.

These polka dot pants will work for fashionable trendsetters. The subtle color palette and tailored fit keep them from looking over the top. Consider adding a simple white button-down with neutral pumps to top it off.

To have coworkers seeing spots, try these patterned pumps peeking out from under a pair of wide-leg slacks.
