The return of polka dots in fall fashion 2011

Although the summer is still in full swelter, the fall fashion trends have been anticipated since springtime.  Salsa Sexy™ is a fan of many Latin dances such as salsa, rumba, tango and samba, but finding a fashionable clothes that you can go out for both entertainment and dance can be a challenge. This year, it will be even more challenging since polka dots return!

From apparel to handbags and jewelry, circles big and small deemed as the polka dot will be worn by savvy fashionistas. Are you ready to pull off the polka dot?  A few key styling tips:

1. Partner with a solid.  When going for a pattern in your attire such as a shirt, keep the pants or skirt solid to keep the polka dot as the centerpiece instead of screaming conflicting patterns.
2. Keep it simple.  Unless you are ready to be seen, keep the colors neutral. Bright colored polka dots will flash like a neon sign perhaps creating attention you’re not quite ready for.
3. Still shy? Try an accessory.  Not ready for the polka dot shirt or skirt?  An accessory like a scarf or bag can keep you in trend with the fashionistas without jumping off the plank into a sea of dots.

One last piece of advice for you. If you go with polka dots, you may not want to choose black and white colors as your polka dots might be mistaken for multiple bulls eyes crying out for target practice.
