GOING DOTTY: Spot the fashion trend this summer - polka dots are back. Big and bold or itsy-bitsy, high street stores are going dotty over the latest look.

Graphics are destined to be this summer's big fashion hit and polka dots - from micro-points the size of paint splashes to dinner plate spots of stunning colour - are leading the way.
Stunning Kelly Brook squeezed herself into a sexy, polka-dot dress for a shopping spree recently, proving that this trend doesn't have to be prim and proper - while stars such as Victoria Beckham, Amy Winehouse and Kylie Minogue are often spotted wearing the style.

But this isn't the first time spots have made a fashion statement; polka dots were hot news first time around in the post-war boom years. Following the gloom of the Depression and rationing, fashion went delightfully dotty. It was an age of unprecedented optimism that was reflected in fashion. Now, designers have spots before their eyes as they revisit this cute yet glamorous look

Take the elegant chic of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday as your inspiration. Think cherub lips, gamine haircuts and bright, bright fabrics. If you're feeling bold, you can go dotty all over. Be daring and don a sheer halter-neck top from New Look, teamed with sexy low-waisted trousers and heels. It's a great pick-me-up look for spring and will still be fresh in the full heat of summer. Check out my favourite spotty looks ...straight from the highstreet.
