Polka dots: It's a pretty simple concept, right? No wonder it's a big fall trend.
Before
you repurpose the same, simple dotted dress you've been wearing all
summer—take notice—that mini isn't just going to cut it for fall.
Instead, celebs like Kendall Jenner, Olivia Culpo and Gwen Stefani
are showing us how wear the motif during this transitional time. You've
guessed it: It's all about layering, high-low hems paired with textured
footwear and mini accessories. Not to mention, fall 2017's polka dots
are featured in stark contrasts, mostly black and white, for a chicer,
more Parisian vibe.
Sound more complicated than you thought? Keep scrolling on how to take your summer polka dots into fall.

Kendall Jenner
It's easy to wear the polka dots in the summer. Just
throw on your statement piece (in Kendall's case, it's this strapless
mini) and go, right? Keep things casual with simple white sneakers and
cat-eye shades to protect against those UV rays. Add a bold accessory
for a pop of color and intensity.

Olivia Culpo
When it's not quite sweater weather, but the temps have
dropped a smidgen, follow in Olivia's footsteps. The former beauty queen
has mastered transitional styling, pairing a Pretty Little Thing mini
over a Jean Atelier oversize button-up for a covered-but-sexy look. Her
long white boots will keep her legs warm and toasty. To replicate this
look, throw a dress with a low neckline over your tried-and-true white
blouse. Just don't forget your fall boots. Our favorite right now?

Gwen Stefani
Fall layering can be difficult. Take style notes from
Gwen, whose flowy Zimmermann frock just inspired our next
fall-appropriate, polka-dot ensemble. The singer's dress is almost
sheer—because of the light fabric, the different sizes of polka dots and
lace look almost like they are layered together. That, combined with
the high-low hem of the dress, mixed with the over-the-knee boot, makes
for a chic-yet-edgy autumn look. When the weather gets colder, add
cropped trousers under your sheer dress and a denim oversize jacket on
top.
Will you be wearing this trend this season?
