Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion: Spots or stripes? The good news is you no longer have to choose


The trick is to remember they have more in common than not – and you’ll be seeing a lot of both this summer

They can be as exotic as a zebra’s stripes or a leopard’s spots, or as common-or-garden as the yellow-and-black blur of a bumblebee, or daisies dotted on a lawn. The Lyocell Rich Polka Dot Maxi(£79), is a lovely black dress with white spots, with a strapless ruched bodice and a long flowing skirt. I am very taken with the jaunty LK Bennett sandals pictured above (RRP £329 but currently reduced), so I may do a shoe rather than a stripy trouser, even though I admit I’m taking the soft option here.
