Fashionistas discover just how haute the polka dot has become
|
Dotted! Polka dots are in fashion, even on hats!
They’re back and how! It is not just Shanti’s retro look in “Om Shanti Om” that has impressed the junta, her polka-dotted sartorial choices have also become a hot favourite. Be it t-shirts, shirt dresses or even salwar kameeze
s, polka dots are the ticket. Collegian Shathakshi Ramgopal says, “Straight-cut jeans or black lace lined leggings, paired with a polka dot blouson or a shirt dress has become the ultimate college attire for most girls.”
“What I like best about polka dots is that it gives one a youthful look,” says Tamanna Ali, a content writer. “We used to dress children in polka-dotted frocks but now they are not restricted to any particular age group,” she points out.
“Colours that are most popular are red, black, brown and green, although dots in any colour look good,” observes fashion designing student Karuna Rampal. However, according to fashion designer Ameetha Mathew, “Dots are not exactly in anymore but large bright dots are still seen around and are quite acceptable.”
Polka dot tops in golden are quite common as a party ensemble. Dotted sarees also have their own charm say designers. Polka dot halters, spaghettis, tube and tank tops are considered chic. Ameetha says, “The ideal polka do outfit is one that is coupled with sorts or jeans or for that matter it could just be a simple dress.”
With the polka dot top, slim fit jeans, big silver hoops and a hair band to match, one would think the package is complete, but guess what? Even shoemakers have started selling casual polka dotted ballerina shoes! So before it actually and officially finds its way out of the fashion circuit, make sure you wear your polka dots as much as you want to!
