Class to Night Out: Polka Dot Jeans
Do you struggle with transforming your outfits from day to night? Don’t worry, CF is here to help turn that daily annoyance into a fun challenge. Class to Night Out focuses on one piece per week, and aims to help you take your look from study sessions in the library to dancing the night away.
If you’ve been rocking the printed jeans trend, you might want to give polka dot jeans a try. Whether your style is girly, preppy or retro, this cute trend can add a whole new level to your look. Who knows, this fresh take on a wardrobe classic might just become your new style staple!
This week, I’ll be showing you how to style a pair of high-waisted polka dot print jeans for both a day of classes and a night out. If you’ve been dying to try out this trend or just want a few new styling tips, read on!
Polka Dot Jeans: Class
Jeans, Sweater, Belt, Brogues, Tote, Necklace, Earrings
Add a modern twist to your retro-inspired jeans by pairing them with a mint ombre sweater. Next, grab a pair of cut-out brogues and a pink woven belt for a cute and casual look. A bold floral tote adds feminine flair, while pretty silver jewelry, like a charm necklace and bird-shaped studs, completes the look with a touch of shine.
Polka Dot Jeans: Night Out
Jeans, Top, Pumps, Clutch, Necklace, Earrings
Go bold and eclectic for your night look and pair your jeans with a stark white peplum top. Then add a lilac statement necklace to put a trendy twist on this ultra-feminine look. Show off your adventurous side with a daring yellow clutch and bright floral pumps – the quirky contrast between prints adds fashionable edge. No night out is complete without a touch of bling, so finish off the look with some colorful crystal earrings.

Am I the only one who hates this trend?:(

^ LOL Ana! I’m sure you’re not the only one but I’m a fan through & through! Carina, I love the night out look. I think mixing florals and polka dots is very chic.
Recently, I experimented with the polka dot trend. I wore these black/white polka dot paperbag shorts with a silky white shirt tucked in and a dalmatian print belt. Over it, I wore a black/white tweed moto jacket with faux leather sleeves, a light gray scarf, black loafers, and a deep red crossbody for a pop of color :).

I really love polka dot and striped jeans! The shoes in the first outfit…amazing!

I love polka dots, but jeans… no, not really. Seem slightly infantile to me.
Ignorant Awareness
Ana, I’m not a huge fan either- I think it’s just a little too girly/ twee for my personal tastes (which is more bright colours, artsy, boho, urban etc).
It might work better for people who have a more preppy/ hipster sort of style though (hence the florals, brogues & light colours in the outfit suggestions)?
If your style isn’t preppy/ hipster etc, I think you could still get away with wearing them in an irregular polka dot print, or in a black/ white mix? If I was forced into a pair of polka pants, I’d choose black ones (with white dots) to wear with a crazily saturated colour mix- like a lime green tunic/ hot pink shoes/ bright orange bag.
Hope that gives you ideas on how to tailor polka pants more to your own personal style/ tastes? :)

I started loving this trend after seeing Poppy Delevingne and Taylor Swift rocking it, but no one else so far. Love the night outfit though. Kudos! :)
Ella
Wow, i just bought a pair of polka dot jeans! This is great!
Mariah
I love printed jeans, but not think print. I love polka dots, but not on jeans. I don’t think I could quite get on board with this one.
Kathryn
Love the trend, but I think the link for the third pair from the left (my personal fave) is the wrong link. Correction please!
Michelle
I like the trend but I think these polka dots are huge. I have seen nice jeans from Lauren Conrad Collection and Forever 21 with very small tiny polka dots which keep it trendy but a little more understated.
