Polka dots may have a reputation of being cutesy, but be forewarned: Other pieces of an outfit can bring out the underlying, daring nature of the classic polka dot. Take these cropped pants, for example. With the right leather jacket with industrial hardware accents, a silky top and studded boots, these polka dotted bottoms are hardly “cutesy.” As for “sexy” – that’s a whole other story. $98, available at Free People.

With so much potential, your black and champagne-colored purchase is surely a worthwhile investment. $298, available at SimplySoles.

As pretty as the pitter patter of light rain may sound, it’s typically more ideal to observe from afar – particularly, inside, in bed, under the covers and with a cup of hot tea.

As the weather runs its course, stay stylishly dry under a wind-resistant frame while clutching the stylish umbrella’s wooden handle. $30, available at Bloomingdale’s.
