The polka-dot print has always been a bit tricky to seamlessly fit into your everyday wardrobe. Luckily now, with designers like Gucci and Monse championing the dot, the print has become more accessible and wearable than ever before. Whether it be a pair of wide-legged trousers from Altuzarra to wear to work, or a comfortable balloon-sleeved Balenciaga top to throw on for the weekend, there’s something that almost everyone can get on board with. The print has also found its way into the eyewear game, as recent CFDA Fashion Fund participants Krewe Du Optic have created a great pair of sunglasses with acetate and gold polka-dot frame for your next trip in the sun. All these pieces and more deserve a… spot in your wardrobe. Click through for the best items to buy now.
