Omiru Poll Result: Polka Dots are On the Way Out

We asked: Are Polka Dots In or Out?

You said:  With 53% of the vote against them, Polka Dots are On the Way Out.

Omiru’s take: We like the playful feel of polka-dotted styles, but with the variety of geometric prints available out there, we’re buying up more sophisticated, retro-inspired prints.  Style tip?  Polka dots are a great way to add a bit of fun to a serious outfit.  Try mixing styles–such as a flirty polka dot top under a military-inspired jacket.  Or for a more refined look, try monochromatic polka dots (e.g. bright yellow on mustard).
