Blame it on Minnie Mouse’s speckled skirt or Comme des Garcons’ consistently dot-heavy collections, but circle prints have popped back into the, er, spotlight this fall.
“They’re chic,” says stylist Lauren Rothman of Styleauteur.com. “They’re understated but still serve as a pop with basics.” Wear the pattern head-to-toe for a dizzying effect, at the end of your arm by way of a clutch or on your feet via flats or pumps. Whatever your choice, you’ll look spot-on.
