As fashion professionals proclaim, recently everything is possible: socks with sandals, a dress with sneakers and embroidered flowers on a tracksuit, or even a brooch with rhinestones. Therefore, at first glance, the answer to the question: “What to wear with polka dot tights?” - with everything you want, convenient and have in the wardrobe. But even if everything is possible, it does not mean that it will look harmonious and correspond to the circumstances of a fashionable outlet. Because the main law of any visual image: beauty is in harmony. And even if the image has approached the edge of common sense, you can never cross it, but follow the following rules.
All or Nothing
The cardinal rule for any printed clothing, and polka dot tights are no exception: the pattern is the only main focus. Dress and tights can be polka dot at the same time. Or all other clothing should be plain. This is an absolutely win-win option. Top and bottom can be in contrasting shades, but without a pattern. The result of breaking this rule is shown in the photo below. The image of a village simple girl was a success, but this is not a suitable goal for an exit. ATon such occasions, it is usually ironic that the lady put on her best at once. By the way, this is one of the most important fashion mistakes. She tends to be more of a philistine character than anyone else when fashionable clothes are worn to show status.
What to wear with polka dot tights as in the photo above? Half of the photos in this article are the answer to this question and a positive example of how pea print wins if all the rest of the clothes are of the same tone, and the accessories are calm and discreet. If the belt is thin, smooth, without a large buckle, the bag is monochromatic, of a strict shape, dresses and other clothes are of a straight, simple cut, maximum contrasting with the shade of tights or peas, or in tone. White, black and red in any combination is a great combination of colors that will complement the daring message of the print - any additional filling of the image is already unnecessary.
Peas and peas
So fidelity to the polka dot print in the look is essential. He will not forgive change. In the next photo, the same polka dot print, but the same for the whole image. Moreover, the motive remained the same, rural. The girl is wearing a rather modest closed dress. Although it is short, it is not striking, the buttons in a row like a dressing gown, a knitted blouse thrown over the top, a low heel in brown ankle boots - everything is simple, even too much. But the whole image is stylish, with meaning and, more importantly, with irony. Same print, different message!
As always, there were exceptions. If athe print is very small, colorful, not flashy, in a restrained color scheme - then it can be a good neighbor for small, frequent and non-contrasting polka dots on tights. The anti-example from the previous section lost just in this - too rare and noticeable, as if standing apart compared to the pattern on the dress, the peas. And how to decide on the size of peas?
Large or small peas
If it is difficult to choose, as usual, and the print is your favorite, you have to take everything and collect different looks. What should be considered?
- Tights with small polka dots usually look less contrasting and suit everyone because they are slimming. And most importantly, they are quite easy to make friends with any clothes, using the previous rule - a solid image, even, without other catchy accents, and that's enough. In any outfit, only thanks to polka-dot tights, chic and an idea appear, like a girl in a dark blue coat with an umbrella. Without the print on the tights, she would have been dressed boringly. And so even the pearl thread in two rows on the neck is consonant with both the print and the style of the outfit from the 50s of the last century.

Large peas are already a full-fledged fashion statement and a step towards the edge beyond which common sense is lost and the image becomes insane. There is a simple win-win option to soften the impression, especially if the figure is not perfect - a monochrome black and white duet of a jacket and shorts (the length should be chosen depending on the type of figure).
With black shorts or stockings
Black pantyhose inpolka dots (pictured below) are difficult to tame, they look too unnatural. This means that the harmony of the image and beauty disappears. Therefore, it is very important to slightly soften the sharp impression of fashionable large peas on tights. The ideal option is black shorts plus black knee-highs. They unload the image so much that it is permissible to introduce another accent. For example, the inscription on a T-shirt is a super trend of the past and current seasons.
If you wear an elongated jacket with them, straight or fitted, you can hide the imperfections of the figure (tummy or full arms) and at the same time stretch, add to the figure of harmony and growth. And also walk a trendy outfit.
Polka dot tights
Print in large colored peas, especially large or different sizes, is a return to childhood. How to make it not look like mom just picked up from kindergarten? Again turn to history. This time we need images from the 60s of the last century. Futurism was then at the peak of fashion, so a straight dress with a belt or an A-line is suitable. It should be made of dense or metallic fabric to match or contrast with the color of tights or peas. Dress is better to choose just such a style, because:
- He goes, if not to everyone, then to many.
- This is in the spirit of the 60s, the image will be solid.
- The best length is well above the knee. Otherwise, it will not look logical - why hide an accent under the hem, which is specially made on slender legs?
- A more complex dress style orsleeves will become an unnecessary, overloading image accent. The little girl is apologetic with a princess dress to wear colored polka dot tights. Fashion ladies need to remember that polka dots are self-sufficient.
Strict dress code
Polka dot tights subject to a strict dress code - bad form. Some prints, accessories and wardrobe items have backgrounds, associations that are known to most people. Any fashionable accents on tights (prints, garters, ribbons) are coquetry: at least it is, at the maximum - deliberate sensuality. Obviously, there is a desire to draw attention to the legs. It's not bad, just inappropriate in some situations. The first of these is the expectation of rigor in clothing at work or a business meeting. The only possible exception is an employee of the fashion industry, but there are their own laws. Fashion and the ability to attract attention with clothes is a professional skill!
Polka dot print: history and associations
In the 1950s, polka dots were born. And not only was born, but became wildly popular. Fashion house Dior has released a collection of dresses of its famous new look silhouette with polka dots. But the print did not remain only on clothes, but migrated to underwear and accessories.
The 60s of the last century painted the print in different colors and made it more futuristic and psychedelic.
In 2006, peas were reborn in the UK. And since then, the popular print has been a never-ending star on the catwalks and in the collections of various famous fashion houses.
It must be remembered that any pattern on tights has a subtext - a desire to draw attention to the legs. There were periods in fashion history when tights of this kind were worn by women of exceptionally easy virtue. It can be argued that not so long ago there were times when ladies did not wear trousers, not to mention shorts. But the line beyond which a fashionista turns into a cabaret beauty, even just evokes associations with her, should never be crossed, except for Halloween and other carnival adventures.
Image of a baby dollar
There is one idea that goes beyond all the above rules, what to wear with black polka dot tights - a flirtatious, naive, romantic, almost childish babydoll dress. But in such an image, a deliberate imitation of an anime heroine and a cute doll is the essence, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe outfit, self-irony. The only rule of this image is to go in it to the end. The dress must have a round collar or ties, three-quarter sleeves, above the knee length, plain or polka dot print. Be sure to do makeup with caramel-colored lip gloss, long black eyelashes, and a large pattern of shadows. Of course, heels and curled curls to boot.
And another look with polka dot tights is ready for a fashion outing!
