Sometimes a trend comes out of nowhere and hits you like a wild pack of shoppers going mad for the latest H&M collaboration. After wandering around the shops the other day, we were hit with a vision of spots! From dresses to shoes, bags to skirts, it seems the high street has gone dotty for spots – and now, so have we.

For starters, the spot print conjures up all things fun and spring-like – things that are both much needed in our lives and wardrobes at the moment. They also have a fabulous retro feel to them – Topshop’s spotty shorts (below) definitely have that pin-up appeal – which is a nice counteraction to all that ‘80s garb on the rails at the moment.

Spots will also continue to be big throughout the spring and summer, when we’ll be throwing our spotty blazer over a striped nautical style dress for that real taste of true British summer style.

Get stocking up on your spotty prints now – this is one spot we certainly don’t mind having!
