Collette Maxi Dress - White Polka Dot

White with polka dots is a print that has never really gone away, and the Collette Maxi Dress puts it to work at full length. The dots sit across a white ground, so the pattern still carries from across a room rather than dissolving into texture the way smaller prints tend to. The dress falls to a maxi hem, which gives the print the room it needs — a polka dot travelling down a long line reads as deliberate, where the same print cropped short can tip into costume. White is the harder colour to commit to and the easier one to wear once you have. Keep the styling clean and let the print stay the loudest thing in the outfit: a nude or tan sandal, a woven bag through summer, gold jewellery rather than silver. It is a natural choice for a daytime wedding, a holiday dinner, or a long spring lunch.
