Have. Want. Need.
Diane Kruger recently took Balenciaga's Swiss dot tights — the ones Jennifer Connelly wore in the Fall '09 ads — and introduced them to the mainstream. Brava, Diane! I set out on a hunt to find a cheaper pair for you and me: these Black Sheer Dot Print Tights, one-size. If you're feeling whimsical, throw them on with a dress or mini skirt. And don't be afraid to combine patterns; mixmasters Read more
I am all for tights. In fact, I am wearing a brown ribbed pair today. But when they veer towards childlike, I just have to say no. These Juicy Couture Polka Dot Printed Microfiber Tights, $40, remind me a lot of the tights little girls wear to fancy events. Do you second the emotion?

Fab reader dadouchic's '50s-inspired daytime ensemble was bubbly and bright, and the patterns and colors gave it the perfect retro face-lift. We loved her pairing of a polka dot blouse with bubble gum pink skinny jeans and marigold accessories. The eye-catching, tight-fitting pink pants from Zara complemented the loose, polka dot tank blouse from H&M. The yellow Victoria Secret espadrille Read more
Vivienne Westwood brought her signature brand of punk rock glamour for Fall, showing a collection of easy, hipster-cool pieces for Red Label. The designer pulled out all the stops when it came to styling — stripes were jauntily mixed with plaids and polka dots, menswear-inspired fedoras were tied with colorful ribbons, and models were painted with crosses, hearts, and other symbols, playing to Read more
Fab reader Style Extraordinaire looked adorable styled up in a Jason Wu For Target blouse and accordion-pleated leather skirt. Her pale pink polka-dotted top was tucked into her mini-circle skirt for a schoolgirl-esque silhouette. We love the juxtaposition of soft prints with tougher luxe materials, and this look nailed it. For an accessorized finish, she donned an arm full of odds-and-end Read more
Fab reader JustPatience went full throttle with chic monochromatic pieces and an ultra ladylike vibe. Her black asymmetrical-hem sheath dress proved a classic silhouette, but when paired with polka-dot tights and patent-leather Mary Jane pumps, the look got a dash of girlieness and quirk. She topped the all-black outfit with a bright blue Celine statement bag, matching gold cuffs, cat-eye Read more
With a burst of brights, cheeky prints, and covetably sweet styling, Madewell's Spring 2012 has us daydreaming of warmer days ahead, when we might just throw on its adorable polka-dotted skirts (sans tights) and kelly green flats. It's in line with the stuff we've come to know and love from the label — lived-in denim, silky dresses, staple booties and wedges, and irresistible skimmer flats in Read more
We spotted Gwen Stefani walking around London's Primrose Hill in a casual but stylish ensemble. She updated a basic black pair of shorts and tights with a splash of polka-dot print in a less-expected color combo: gray and white. Gwen always puts her personal, quirky spin on her outfits, so naturally she added a bold red lip and some eclectic retro Dita shades. Watch to see the entire look now! Read more
The polka-dot trend is pretty spot-on for the season — we saw the look on the Fall runways at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, and Lanvin, and also on stylish celebs like Chloë Moretz — and this time there's a modern, ultra-sexy vibe that reads more sultry seductress than Minnie Mouse. If you think you have to win the lottery to rock this trend, you're mistaken; not only can you achieve the Read more
