A timeless and versatile trend: polka dots

Fashion trends come and go, but some styles are timeless no matter the trends – and this is precisely the case of polka dots, a must of the Chic Parisienne that this season happens to be back in fashion. . As read on “12 Standout Trends That Ruled the Spring 2020 Runways – Your official guide to spring’s top trends” on  HARPER’S BAZAAR.COM, “designers are digging in their luxury heels when it comes to the almighty dot—simply put, the trend shows no sign of slowing.” And the good news is that you can wear this super chic print no matter the settings, as it will allow you to always look polished in a very sophisticated way. . A polka-dot print can liven up the simplest of skirts, turning an uninteresting – and quite dull – outfit into a stylish and classy ensemble.

Interestingly enough, flared and bootcut trousers can also have a slimming outcome with low heels, but only if they are properly hemmed. . As we mentioned in a previous post, hemming your pants at the most appropriate height is a must to achieve an impeccable outcome, and this is particularly true with flared/bootcut jeans, as a wide trouser that flutters at half-height not only is the opposite of chic, it will make your legs look shorter as well. This is the only drawback of this versatile garment. Unlike straight jeans, which – if properly hemmed at the ankle – can be worn with any kind of shoes, this doesn’t happen with flared/boot-cut pants. . If you adjust the hem of your flared jeans for high-heeled shoes, you […]
