Sometimes it is hard to spruce up a classic look. Exhibit A: The Polk-A-Dot. Everyone has them and there are about a million variations of this old school print. Polk-a-dots can be dressed for a retro feel or to add a little femininity to Men's Wear inspired garb.
This guide gives the Polk-a-dot a modern twist.
Prints were made on Adobe Illustrator by me, Sarah Katherine Ormsby. The Silver foil is aluminum foil.. which I did not make, clearly.
1. Sometimes Polk-a-dots have a tendency to be a little flat so to add texture and shine I suggest a silver, gold or bronze foil based on the color palette you have going and your other accessories.
2. The second print I decided to pair with the Polk-a-dot is a Quatrefoil print. Although Quatrefoils look like there is a lot going on, at its core it is a glorified polk-a-dot. The simple layouts provide just enough contrast to keep things interesting so a subtle mix.
